Moore’s law of 8-bit computers

Here’s a visual example of where 8-bit computers came from and where they are now:

On the bottom, a Commodore 64 home computer motherboard circa 1984, running at 1MHz. – original cost about $600.

In the middle, an MIT Handyboard robotics controller circa 1995, running at 2MHz. – original cost about $200.

At the top, an Arduino microcontroller circa 2010, running at 16MHz. – cost… about 30 bucks.

But only one of them can play Tower Toppler.
