[edit] adding gpu class example ?

I would like to suggest adding GPU chip into example table, because for example G80 from Nvidia counts 681 M transistors, signaling that GPU are not behind general class CPUs. --Quentar 12:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pentium 4 / Itanium problem?

Hello. Can someone please explain why the Itanium is listed here although he has only 25 000 000 transistors in 2001 and the Pentium4 before him has yet 42 000 000 transistors in 2000 ? ohe of these processors must be terminated from the list, or am i wrong? sry for my english, i'm german. 134.130.78.41 16:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, you're free to be WP:BOLD! I think the main problem here is we need a graphic rather than a data table. Also to plot transistors per dollar or per square millimeter rather than per chip, since the size and cost of the chips in this table varies greatly. Potatoswatter 18:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
