Idiot! "IC"s NEVER "had less than ten transistors", you stupid twit.
The very first IC HAD ten transistors, so there were none "that had
less".
The Diode Transistor Logic (DTL) single flip flop ICs that I used in 1969
had less than 10 transistors!

Don't worry. He does that all the time and is quite reliably wrong.
One of, if not, the first commercial ICs was the Fairchild-Micrologic
type "F" (flip-flop) stuffed to the brim with a mind boggling 4
transistors.

They also had the type "G" nor gate.
T.I. made similar 'chips', and there is debate as to whether theirs or
Micrologic's was 'first', but their early production was entirely
consumed by NASA and the military so many consider that not
'commercially available'.
An RTL NOR gate had exactly ONE transistor :-)
