So can I play the original Doom on it?
How many Lolcats can it retain ?
One sneeze and It'll be gone forever...
If it genuinely has 486 CPU power and you can cross compile for the instruction set, then it should play Doom, as I used to play Doom LAN matches in my uni's labs, which were all 486 machines. Doing that in 1mm2 is pretty impressive, although I'd want to know how much power it drew as well, given I can comfortably emulate Doom on a couple-of-generations-old ARM chip in my cheap-ass Android gaming tablet.
Of course, if it's genuinely running off a photo-voltaic cell that's also included within the 1mm2 (as per the embedded diagram), that's pretty phenomenal....
Even smaller than a fingertip, imagine handful of those and how powerful will that be?
1mmx1mm computer...where to plug in the keyboard and mouse?!?!

Well, seeing as you can buy an Intel X3430 for $7, I doubt the price of 486's was all that much to start with!

DRAM, graphics card, sound chipset, IO, storage, heatsink - I dont think you are going to be gaming at 1mm^2 for a while yet?
