Compute Scaling Explorer
The computer that landed humans on the moon had less memory than a single emoji. Put machines from across six decades side by side, then read the gaps on a logarithmic scale — because on a normal one, everything before the modern era is invisible.

Derived insights
Figures are drawn from public specifications, historical documentation, and standard estimates; costs are approximate and framed to each machine's launch-window context. They exist to convey orders of magnitude, not to be quoted to the decimal. Core and GPU counts across radically different architectures are not directly comparable — treat the "processing units" bar as a rough sense of scale, not a benchmark.
