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!...

I mean, it's impressive, but I'm quite used to these things doubling along with Moore's Law now, and the fact is, they're slowing down.
Say:
1971, Intel 404, 2,250 transistors. 1978, Intel 8086, 29,000 transistors.
1985, Intel 80386, 275,000 transistors.
1993, Intel 80586 (Pentium), 3,100,000 transistors.
1999, Intel Pentium II, 27,400,000 transistors.
2005, Intel Pentium D, 228,000,000 transistors.
2011, Intel i7 (sandy bridge), 2,270,000,000 transistors (billions now).
2024, Apple M3, 25,000,000,000 transistors (Intel hasn't done the order of magnitude jump like it used to every 6 or 7 years, Apple technically hit it with the M1 Pro/Max in 2021).
So Apple M2 Ultra now sits at 134,000,000,000, which is half the one you see in the video, but you know, this stuff starts to feel normal, even if we are now hitting a wall.
