Just looking at DMMs and I see the beautiful KEYSIGHT MSOX4154A, at over $20kUSD, and I'm just wondering what sort of prices per /chip on the more exocatic stuff ? I wonder how much of it is "off the shelf" chips, or very limited run fabs.
Also, how powerful, of a scope, or DMM, could you make, if you had the front end of a good Scope or DMM, and then built the rest around a modern CPU or GPU, so like ryzen 3700, or i9-9900k, or RTX 2080.
I don't mean it has to be on a computer motherboard or anything, I just mean if company X decides to use an out of the box i9-9900k, to make a good scope/DMM......how good or bad would that be ? What about GPU's (I know they are great at some stuff, but IDK the details)
Never mind the cost either, I just mean, could you make a really good 1 or not.
