#116980 - PCs full of mcus/processors
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I forgot about the disks.

So my list for PCs is now:
  • "main" processor
  • keyboard
  • mouse
  • keyboard controller (8042) in the chipset
  • hard disk (* number of HDDs) - maybe *2 (DSP and controller)?
  • CD/DVD drive
  • monitor
That makes 7 in an average PC.
And, the graphics processor today is maybe worth a dozen of mcus, too...
