#158695 - Silicon has not always been cheap
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The 64kbit memory chips where most definitely not cheap when the Spectrum was introduced. It would have been more like using one of the more expensive Intel quad-core processors in a low-end set-top box. The Spectrum might not have become a success at that price.
