I shrunk down into an M5 chip

TL;DR

The video shrinks down 10,000x to show just how impossibly small modern transistors are inside Apple's M5 chip.

Key Points

• 1.The M5 chip uses 3nm transistors — at that scale, you'd be invisible to the naked eye and individual atoms look like marbles
• 2.Moore's Law drove this: transistor count doubles every 2 years, meaning size has been cut in half repeatedly since 1948
• 3.The first transistor (1948) was the size of a deck of cards; today billions fit on a chip you hold in your pocket
• 4.To fit an iPhone's 19 billion transistors using 1940s vacuum tube technology, the device would need to be the size of New Jersey
• 5.If a modern transistor were the size of a Toyota Prius, the full iPhone would be the size of planet Earth
