#116927 - help me win my bet |
I have just made a bet with someone who claims that there are more processors than people alive today if you include embedded processors in white goods and so on.I think he is way off the mark concidering that there are vast areas of africa and china for example where people are lucky to even have running water let alone ipods.So what do you think,ive done a quick count up and I estimate 25-30 embedded processors in my house and car so what count do other people get? |
