So how many transistors ( or GATES? ) that 10mm^2 is at 130nm?

• breck 4y ago
  Approximately 590M max? (10^.5 * 1e6 / 130)^2 But not actually sure what % is usable and what distance between features is. So guess is actual number is a lot less than that.

    Ten million transistors maximum actually. The nm figure is not a transistor pitch.

      Thanks! Reading up on "transistor pitch" filled in a lot of blanks for me. Cunningham's Law works.

      To put that into perspective, 10M is roughly the complexity of a Pentium II/III (without the cache).
