    Yeah, the transistors on 14nm parts are about 90 atoms long.
    Let me say that again...
    90 .... *ATOMS*
    About 6,500 of these transistors would equate to the diameter of a single hair. Yeah, pretty tiny.

    "...to create transistors, that only allow current to flow in one direction, which means they can function as tiny switches or gates..."
    You're getting transistors confused with diodes. It's true that transistors function as tiny switches, but it's diodes that only allow current to flow in one direction. The function of a transistor is harder to explain succinctly, but it's basically an electronically operable switch. And it generally takes multiple transistors to make a single gate, so you shouldn't really equate the two.

    • @LazerLord10
      @LazerLord10 9 років тому +84

      +Yoshie True, but the physical construction is almost identical. I think (just going off of memory here), a diode is a P-N junction, and a transistor is just what happens if you add another P or N junction, hence PNP and NPN transistor types. But you're right about the function of transistors not being the same as a diode.

      +Gavin Crane - Re-watch and replace every mention of CPU with GPU and you have your how GPU's are made.
      The only difference between them is the architecture and their inbuilt instruction sets. CPU's are generic computational processors while GPU's are specialised to certain types of repetitive operations and instruction sets which specialise in graphics. eg how shaders are applied.

    • @FarmingtonS9

      FarmingtonS9 AMD cards are good at bit currency mining, because of the way it processes data. GPU's are capable to performing integer & floating point math better than CPU's and are designed for threaded parallelism. AMD cards became better at bitcoin mining due to a change in the way it processed integer shift which made it more efficient at that kind of math.

    The reason why transistors can't get any smaller is because of quantum tunneling. Basicly, the electrons that wouldn't otherwise flow through the transistor (be allowed to) does so anyway (because of quantum tunneling) when the size gets too small.

    Linus, can you explain AFAP how does the electrical energy in the CPU convert to... everything we see? Because as far as we can see... they are only 2 pieces of metal (and other materials) together, but how does that go from being that into something abstract (an OS). Does it send different waves of electric energy and with protocols is interpreted... or... does Gandalf have anything to do with all this? I would love a video about this.

      i3, i5 and i7 are all made from the same die (within the same generation), then they are binned according to what is broken. for skylake that means they are all essentially i7 6700K CPUs. if one (or more) hyperthread path doesn't work, then all hyperthreading is disabled and it sells as i5, (same if any of the L2 cache is no good). if any cores are faulty, then 2 cores are disabled and it is sold as an i3. The stability of cores at particular frequencies determine weather it is designated as say a 6400, 6500, 6600 or 6600K. They all cost about the same to manufacture, and R&D is a blanket expense for the generation. but they can charge more for a better (i7-6700K) and while an i3-6100 costs the same to make - selling it at a reduced price still recoups more of the loss than throwing away anything that is not perfect. I am also amazed how stupid consumerism can be.

      I think it's not that they are cut that way, but that the giant silicon crystal that they are grown out of is basically a cylinder, because that's just how it's crystal structure naturally grows. They just slice up said cylinder and then etch as many processors on it as they can fit from that current design.

    2 small corrections: a. MOSFET transistors are symmetrical, you can turn them upside down in any circuit and it wouldn't change a thing because the drain and the source are interchangeable (it only depends on what's connected on each end) - so no, the transistor itself is capable of passing current in either direction. Using it as a switch is actually achieved by what voltage is applied to the gate (hence we call it a gate). b. silicon isn't doped with ions, it's a very common mistake, it's doped with *neutral* atoms of either donor or acceptor variety, and those atoms carry a neutral charge. They improve the conductivity of silicon because they add more usable (for conventional electrical flow) carriers, but they DON'T change the charge of the silicon itself.

    The problem with transistors is not neccessarily the material that they are made of, but their size in general.
    As you said, they are made to conduct electrons, but the smaller they get (limit should be about 5nm) some effects of quantum mechaincs kick in. Here, the quantum tunneling limits the size, because when the Transistors get to small, the electrons can just bypass the transistor, even when the transistor is higher than the energy of the electron. And that is the problem. The problem is not really the material, but the size. A new material would only change it, if it would enable us to create more powerful/efficient CPU's without lowering the size of the units more and more.
