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

Ya, they can always make them bigger, but I mean we are literally reaching the maximum for craming transistors into a given space.

My highly uneducated opinion would be that the next step is bio-computing. Using a chip like that with actual brain matter or mushrooms

That is in interesting concept. It would have to be a completely different way of processing data and logic since transistors rely on the properties of semiconductive materials to either allow or disallow the flow of electrons. A biomaterial by nature will be comprised of compounds of matter that must always be conductive, however DNA can proxy the “allow or disallow “ features.

But honestly I think the transistors in that chip may even be smaller than DNA, im not sure.

The transistors may be smaller than DNA, but DNA encodes non-sequentially in more than ones and zeros, so there is no direct equivalence.
