Technology Size Comparison 🤯🤯 3D Animation

How small is a TRANSISTOR exactly? Companies like Intel and AMD talk about transistors being 2 or 3 nanometers large, but is that actually how small they are? In this video, we're going to zoom in on the smallest devices and technologies that drive our modern world.

If you're wondering why some devices are out of order in regards to size, here's the reason. The order of devices shown is primarily organized by decreasing size, however sometimes we prioritize the year in which the technology was commercialized, and then a couple times we order the objects based on the flow of the animation.

Errata:
The DRAM 1T1C model is actually showing 2x 1T1C DRAM cells, and the actual dimension is half. The reason for this is that they share a bit line, and thus the base unit is 2x 1T1C DRAM cell.

That was next level stuff! The sound design really took it up a notch for me. Keep up the great work😀

[traso]

using real world objects really helped with the comparisons

How long did it take to make this? This is nuts.

Absolutely insane, especially when you take into consideration how much these smaller techs can take in terms of damage. You've got these tiny chips smaller than the eye can see, and you drop your phone a good 4 feet off the ground and your phone still works perfectly fine (hopefully glass didn't break). It's actually pretty crazy.

When I started programming, a meg of memory was about the size of a carry-on suitcase. Now it's rather smaller than a salt crystal. This always amazes me.

[DerpyNetworking]

Stunning animations! Keep up the great work! I was just blown away by the scale. I didn't realize how big antibodies or DNA were. Humanity is always pushing the boundaries of what is possible!

[Tenchi]

Makes you appreciate how insane a little bunch of humans is that literally changed our lives, we all are reaping the benefits of a tiny group of geniuses, I have infinite respect and admiration for them!

[ericxue]

That was incredible. I absolutely lost it when i realized that an item smaller than a SINGLE GRAIN of salt could hold an entire megabyte. Just staring at the space in between my fingers pinching together made me realize how advanced things really are today.

[eisnheim]

One word WOW, stunning visuals.
We really reached an astonishing and amazing level of engineering.

lots of people go to see the eiffel tower or mona lisa painting but honestly i am much more impressed about these computer chips. the beauty in them is that everything in there makes sense, everything in there follows a logic. I know its not a single human who made it but lots of people constantly improving it but its really impressive nonetheless. It helps us humans so much these days! we can easily access valuable information and educate ourselves easily thanks to these technologies. we can also communicate and see each other over huge distances. i hope everyone understands, supports and appreciates these technologies

This is how we should teach science in school. I hope someday we get that.
Thank you, for such quality content, as always.
Greetings from Brazil.

I didn't click on this video expecting so much quality.
Both the image and the sound design are incredibly good!

One of the best animations I've ever seen, beautiful work

[bytekast]

Wow! it becomes really astounding when it's put to scale. Great way to visualize things. Also, great video! One of the best comparison videos I've seen so far (the 3D animation really adds into the quality and experience).

[Daaninator]

everyone worked so hard so I could play fortnite in 4k

[grinps]

My God, this give chills. Somehow this give me same perception as video that comparing objects in the universe.
Outstanding animation, the quality of the animation really blow my mind.

I really would like to see that last scene as opening scene for all videos in this channel!

[abadprofilename]

Wow branch education, I didn’t know how small this tech could get 🤯

[arifsaifee]

This is beyond excellence. Amazing graphics, music, presentation material etc etc. The lack of any distracting audio commentary made the graphics pop out which was all that was needed to make your point. BRILLIANT!

[Ievmon]

with this video, my iq increased by 1%

So the gate width hasn't really shrunk that much in the last ten years. When Intel and TSMC talks about 2 nm process, does the gate still stay the same width?
