Question

Fill in the blanks

1 . one vacuum tube replaced the equivalent of 40 transistors.

2 . For weather forecasting a mainframe computer is required. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There is not a way that 40 transistors performing logic as gates & flipflops could be functionally replaced by one vacuum tube (at most an inverter or two, or a gate).

Even if allowed to use a multi-section tube like a triple-triode, that is only as much function as three transistors.

I call it a false equivalence
