Would you also compare a horse carriage to a Tesla?

I think it would be closer to a comparison between a car engine in the 1900s and one today. Lots of differences, but the basic principles remain the same and if you were to give someone from one time period a part from the other, they'd easily be able to see what it was.

No. Chemicals are different, structures are different, design is different (cmos), etching equipment is different. I am at a loss to name a recognizable thing.
