I find the inverse calculation interesting also with CPUs. I used to really enjoy NES games. Apparently its based on a MOS Technology 6502 that has ~3500 transistors on a 16.6 mm2 area.[1][2] The most recent Intel CPU I can find is a Haswell-E with transistor data, at 2,600,000,000 transistors on a 356 mm2 area. [3] I should be able to get an NES that fits on 22um x 22um in the modern era. Which, Wikipedia says is approximately the size of fog droplets, hair, or conveniently, the size of the original transistors in the Intel 4004.[4] I could breath NES CPUs and barely notice. Fog droplets. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System#Technical_specifications https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System#...
