The transistor, first developed by Bell Labs in 1947, is so large that it can be directly assembled by hand. In sharp contrast, a needle can hold more than 100 million 22-nanometer tri-gate transistors. [1]
This article can contain more than 6 million 22nm tri-gate transistors on a single English period symbol. [2]
The 22-nm tri-gate transistor has a very small gate, and the width of one human hair can accommodate more than 4,000 gates. [3]
If an ordinary house continues to shrink at the pace of transistor development, then it is so small that you can only see it through a microscope. To see the 22-nm transistor with the naked eye, you must enlarge a chip bigger than the house. [4]
Compared with the first 4004 microprocessor that Intel introduced in 1971, the running speed of 22 nanometer CPUs has increased more than 4,000 times, and the power consumption of each transistor has reduced 5000 times. The price of each transistor is reduced to 1/50000.
A 22-nm transistor can switch 100 billion times in one second. It takes almost 2000 years for a person to turn on and off so many lights. [5]
Designing tri-gate transistors is one thing, and mass production is another matter. The Intel factory produces more than 5 billion transistors per second, which is 150,000,000,000,000,000 per year. This is equivalent to more than 20 million transistors for all men, women and children in the world.
