SRAM is big in gate count. typically 6 transistors per bit.

The i386, a 32 bit chip already dragging around a couple of generations of legacy architecture came in at 275,000. I would imagine the Hazard3 would be quite a bit more efficient in transistor usage due to architecture.

16K is 16384(bytes) *8(bits per byte) *6(transistors per bit) = 786, 432



It was the first CPU on my desk! 80386SX 25MHz.

(this one, only 32bit internally)
