demo · general · evergreen · 2016–2024 on HN
A short tour of the Megaprocessor, a microprocessor built at enormous scale from tens of thousands of discrete transistors. The builder shows what the machine is made of and where it now lives, at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, where visitors…
HN commenters link it as the easy way to see the giant home-built CPU without hammering the author's website.

The amazing thing about this is that you can't critique. I mean, you can say anything you want, but you can't stop it or change this guy's mind. :) It's pretty neat seeing him change the clock speed: ▶ this video
A video tour is available on youtube, so we don't crush his website: ▶ this video Spoiler alert: his Tetris skills are inversely proportional to his computer building skills.
There's this one that goes one step beyond that, it's built out of 40,000 discrete transistors: ▶ this video EDIT: there's more information here: link
