TechElon Musk Says Phone Exceeds Apollo Program Compute
Users on X compare modern phone power to 1969 Apollo computers.
TLDR
Peter Diamandis posted that the phone in your pocket has vastly more raw computing power, memory, and storage than the Apollo Guidance Computer used in 1969. Elon Musk replied that a phone has more compute than the entire Apollo Program. Dave Plummer called the comparison a false equivalency, noting the Apollo system had greater I/O processing ability. Kevin Bass stated phones hold roughly 500 times the compute of all computers on Earth at that time. Jess observed the moon landing used less compute than current boredom avoidance.
