I mean, it's fun and interesting bullshit that cheats a lot. I'm sure that you could emulate a MIPS using a one-bit processor like the MC14500[0] with enough supporting hardware, real or virtual. Looking forward to it, Dimitry.

I’ll work on setting a new lower record every ten years or so. My guess at the next three steps: one bit controller, transistors only, vacuum tubes.

At some point you will just need to offload the actual "processing" part to some nice old chap named Dave who has himself an abacus, and every now and then you send him a letter and he moves some stones and sends a letter back with the result.

We need this for the Usagi Electric vacuum tube computer.
