The active area of the amd ryzen 5950x processor in high end computers today has about 19.2 billion transistors (transistors are semiconductor device that control electronic processes). The dimensions of the die sizes are 2x 80.7 + 125 (I/O) mm2 (please refer to the image below.). What are the dimensions of one transistor on the die, assuming that all of the area across the die is transistors and each is a square?
A certain computer chip that is about the size of a postage stamp (2.54 cm * 2.22 cm) contains about 3.5 million transistors. If the transistors are square, what must be their maximum dimension? (Note: Devices other than transistors are also on the chip, and there must be room for the interconnections among the circuit elements. Transistors smaller than 0.7 mm are now commonly and inexpensively fabricated.)
2) In one of the most recent silicon industry achievements of 2021, a single transistor takes up a
rectangular area on a microchip that measures 10[nm] by 2O[nm]. The early microchips in the
1970's had rectangular transistors that each measured approximátely 20[um] by 40[µm]. How
manv of the new 2021 transistors could fit inside the same area of a single 1970 transistor?
