A comment on 8-bit computer from scratch. Parent comment
A single transistor definitely doesn't compute. A single gate? Eh, not really.
A design with a couple latches and an adder that can perform SUBLEQ? Yeah that computes if you attach a ram.
A non-turing-complete pipeline of math functions? Yes, that computes, though why make that when it takes more gates than a microprocessor needs.
