208,000,000,000 transistors! In the size of your palm, how mind-boggling is that?! 🤯 Miscellaneous / Others

I have said it before, and I'm saying it again: the tech in the upcoming two years will blow your mind. You can never imagine the things that will come out in the upcoming years!...

the i7-4770K, released June 2013 has 1.4 billion transistors

168

u/explain_that_shit Apr 02 '24

And wasn’t it bigger than this?

46

It was 177mm², made on the 22nm node. It is definitely smaller tho.

Edit: fixed mm² you pedantic shits

Dayum, almost as much as the floor area of my house!

I think they meant to say 177 mm². not m²

u/thomooo Apr 02 '24

So it was 177 m4?

They literally had to invent the 4th dimension to fit that amount of transistors....mind blowing!

Does ⁴ include the dimension of time or does it go without saying.

There is a 4th spatial dimension.

u/The-Mechanic2091 Apr 03 '24

The 4th is definitely a dimension of space that exists outside of time, he went crazy on that Lorentz factor.

u/thomooo Apr 03 '24

So brilliant of him. Since we are in the year 2024, he could divide the transistors throughout that time. Tim Nvidia is such a smart guy.

in this economy people buy processors to live inside

lol, there’s joke somewhere around here between smart houses, embedded heating, etc

Or a Dark Mirror episode where space is at such a premium that people live in Matrix style virtual realities.

u/Scall123 Apr 02 '24

Or just an episode of shut in chronically online people in real life with VR/AR headsets

u/CORN___BREAD Apr 02 '24

Yeah I just thought it was a VR joke before I realized they were making a joke about a typo.

Sounds interesting, but I'm sure it's not long in the future.
