NAND-16: a computer built entirely from NAND gates

Original: NAND-16: a computer built from 277,248 NAND gates

A new project called NAND-16 showcases a 16-bit computer constructed from 277,248 NAND gates, with every other logic function derived from that single primitive. The build is drawing attention among hardware and computing enthusiasts, who see it as a striking demonstration that entire processors can be reduced to one fundamental gate type.

Why now: It resonates with the hacker and computer-architecture community's enduring fascination with building machines from first principles.
