I read recently that the typical cellphone of today has about the same amount of computing power as the Apollo 11 lunar module had.Amazing!
The computer's RAM was magnetic core memory (2 kibiwords, where a kibiword is 1,024 words) and ROM was implemented as core rope memory (36 kibiwords). Both had cycle times of 11.72 micro-seconds. The memory word length was 16 bits: 15 bits of data and 1 odd-parity bit. The CPU-internal 16-bit word format was 14 bits of data, 1 overflow bit, and 1 sign bit (ones' complement representation).
My cell phone has about 20 Megabytes of user memory available, which is several thousand times the storage capacity of the AGC's RAM.
a typical cell phone of today (2009) has at least 10000 (ten thousand) times the computing power of the Lunar Excursion Module Guidance and Navigation System Computer.
Actually, the average cellphone has a 32bit ARM chip running at 200mhz...good cells have much better than that.
That is easily more powerful than not only the Apollo on board system but more powerful than the systems on the ground as well....and by a large margin.
