They’ve steadily expanded over the years, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was real. It’s not just calculators, TI chips show up in a lot of military hardware in particular.

There are a lot of markets where TI is king, such as in battery management ICs.

They make really good VCO+PLL chips. Ultra low phase noise.

I just want them to make a newer version of the TI-99/4A.

Wouldn't it be funny to see that CPU produced on a modern node?

Given the low transistor count, you could probably achieve speeds in the multi-10s of GHz, it would be so small.

A multi-core 99/4A would be hilarious to witness.
