1 billion tiny transistors in a grain of sand...

jmd says...

I think that is grossly inaccurate. GPU manufacturing is currently at 40nm (32 is around the corner), a large chip like the geforce 480 and 580 run 3 billion transistors.

The chips in the video only have 29m (ultrasparc III I think), and I imagine they were using a much much larger fab process. Also the video seems old.

So nothing we have is fitting 3 billion transistors into a grain of anything yet.
