In 1996, in honor of the ENIAC's 50th anniversary, The [[University of Pennsylvania]] sponsored a project named "ENIAC-on-a-Chip", where a very small [[integrated circuit|silicon computer chip]] measuring 7.44&nbsp;mm by 5.29&nbsp;mm was built with the same functionality as ENIAC. Although this 20&nbsp;MHz chip was many times faster than ENIAC, it had but a fraction of the speed of its contemporary microprocessors in the late 1990s.<ref>{{cite news |title=Looking Back At ENIAC: Commemorating A Half-Century Of Computers In The Reviewing System |url=https://www.the-scientist.com/news/looking-back-at-eniac-commemorating-a-half-century-of-computers-in-the-reviewing-system-58406 |work=The Scientist Magazine}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://www.upenn.edu/computing/printout/archive/v12/4/chip.html |access-date=2016-10-17 |magazine=PENN PRINTOUT |publisher=The University of Pennsylvania |last=Van Der Spiegel |first=Jan |date=1996 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121011185032/http://www.upenn.edu/computing/printout/archive/v12/4/chip.html |archive-date=2012-10-11 |url-status=dead |title=ENIAC-on-a-Chip |volume=12 |issue=4}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ENIAC-on-a-Chip |url=http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~jan/eniacproj.html |access-date=2009-09-04 |publisher=University of Pennsylvania |date=1995-05-09 |first=Jan |last=Van Der Spiegel}}</ref>
