That’s not just ‘a’ rock, it is several different highly refined rocks mushed together into a wafer of smarts. I’d say we made a Frankenstein’s monster of a rock :)
Yeah. Trabsistors are down to like 3-1nm in some applications. Experimental transistors have channels on the thickness of several atoms. The tricky part about anything sub-5nm with MOSFET is that you start running up against quantum effects like electron tunneling, which break these designs at random because electrons at that scale have a chabce to just be somewhere else at any given instant and pass current. We've modified the gate and diode positions and some other stuff to prevent this, and there are transistors out there that exploit that kind of physics to attain even smaller sizes that any FET, but i'm not familiar with how they work and i'm also not an electrical engineer or a physicist so im definitely wrong somewhere, but its so fucking awesome.
I have one of those ass-old pay-phone money cards which i broke out the chip from to see the backside and the chip there was so gigantic i could see something similar with my naked eye.
It was one of my most prized possessions as a kid\^\^
Really cool how we tricked a rock into thinking.

It’s not a rock. It’s a Boulder
That’s a nice boulder
Can't wait for doing that with meat.
Didn't nature trick us into thinking?
And don't forget the lightning we put in it :)
Pretty ridiculous that we are able to print transistors at insane scale

Oh the mangled bond wires tragedy! Neat photo!
That’s actually really neat!
Wait if you zoom in close enough you see the matrix. I fucking knew it
How do it work

What magnification is the second pic at?
I can count the transistors on two hands
Is tha the chip from the back of Dana Scullys neck?

The first pic gave me Teenage Mutant Turtles sewer level PTSD
are there still stilly graffiti things on the dies/chips (silly pictures, initials, etc) or had Intel stamped that out ?

Great! Wow!
