      If input 1 is on, then turn output 1 off.
      and if you put these logic gates together, you could make a small calculator. The actual calculator part i dont understand, but i understand how transistors make up logic gates, since you can search up the schematics for certain not gates

    It will be interesting to see what we do next when we hit the supposed chip shrinkage limit. Maybe then the computing industry can finally focus on optimization instead of chip shrinking. I'm sure current (and even older hardware) could be a lot more capable if optimization was a high priority. I feel our current and maybe even older hardware rarely realizes their full potential because of the lack of proper coding optimizations.

    We've already abandoned typical transistors back around 2010, the switch was to FinFET which has a larger gate area for the relevant physical size, developments on GAAFET will probably extend the limit closer to 3nm. But it's worth mentioning that there are multiple types of transistors around

    • @MetroidChild
      @MetroidChild 6 лет назад +5

      The way the video puts it the practical limits of silicon transistors is 5nm, but that only really goes for FinFETs, normal planar MOSFETs really had their last practical run around 20nm (maybe 10nm if we count planar FD-SOI).
      The same goes the other way too, advances in new transistor shapes (horizontal/vertical GAA-FETs and the like) will help to push beyond the limits of 5nm, probably to around 4-2nm.

    • @MetroidChild
      @MetroidChild 6 лет назад +2

      Depends on what you mean, FinFETs were called "3d transistors" by Intel back when they were introduced due to them judding upwards (and moreso true with modern taller/thinner FinFETs).
      The whole point of vertical GAA-FETs (or who knows maybe vertical TFETs) is to utilize the third dimension for better efficiency, but this can in some cases lead to _less_ dense transistors which is problematic for some areas.
      If you mean stacking transistors/dies on top of each other; that doesn't really change the way transistors are made, which is what the video again talks about (or doesn't depending on who you ask).

    Hey Trace. You're talking about FETs, or Field Effect Transistors with the gate/drain/source at the start of this video. Not regular transistors, or what we would call Bi-polar junction transistors in electronics, which have a collector, an emitter, and a base. Although, FET's are what most chips are made with now.

      Yoshi Knuckles, Yup, you nailed it! Different beasts altogether. And, Trace IS wrong, Peter Schmidt. Trace was historically talking about BJT transistors and never switched gears to a FET. It wouldn't have taken any effort for him to clarify and say "FET" when addressing the Source, Drain, and Gate explanation. Trace is ignorant, else he would have said, "Emitter, Collector, and a Base." This isn't the first time Trace has been wrong, and it won't be the last. It happens to all of us - myself included. However, after offering up a smoke sacrifice to the Electron gods about 40 years ago when I thought I'd just be able to replace a FET with a BJT in an amplifier circuit, I've never confused the two since. Ever!

    One neat option I have read about is to incorporate the quantum effects of the sub 5nm structures into the design--either using them directly, or having a correction system built in to the chips. But, that still probably won't get us very far for all the complexity it would introduce. I'm betting after 2021-ish machine learning and optimization will be applied to improve software and chip design for another few years while the industry figures out just where it is going to go.

      @NotSafer 6 лет назад +47

      I understand where you're coming from, but what you have to consider is that the typical computer transistor changes it's state purely with electricity billions of times per second. DNA is an interesting mechanism to store information, but it doesn't have the capability to change and process information, with that amount of electrons running through, it would rapidly degenerate. Each DNA strand merely holds a certain piece of information, so the comparison is not at all valid...

    • @tomnoyb5079
      @tomnoyb5079 6 лет назад +4

      Ricardo - Surely there'd be many more technology challenges than that? Merely laid out the theoretical limit. A factor of 22 is seven-years on the Moore's-law curve. Moore's law originally postulated halving gate-lengths every eighteen-months. In other words, if Moore's law were to extend past 5 nm, DNA could only add seven-years to the curve. Is it possible to develop DNA to the point of mass production within the two-years left on Moore's law? One presumes not.
      Even if DNA computing were the correct technology direction, it couldn't save Moore's law. Moore's law has been the economic growth engine for the world. When it stops, what happens to economic growth? Most of us have never seen a world without that growth. We rely on it. Now it's over.

    • @NotSafer
      @NotSafer 6 лет назад +7

      Yes, there is certainly a lot more limitations, but I'm just laying out the basic limitations as for why DNA is not a feasible solution, it is simply because DNA does not compute, DNA stores data, it is an interesting factor when talking about storage technology, HDs, NAND flash, etc. But this video is in another subject that DNA plays no role in other than the mere length comparison. And of course, we are getting to the limit of Moore's prediction, we will probably have to move away from transistors to the next big thing in the next few decades.

    0:34: „...and if the gate allows the electrons to pass...“
    Seems like you're saying that the gate actually keeps electrons from flowing from the source to the drain which isn't technically correct. What keeps electrons from flowing through the transistor is the electric field between the source and the drain, and the gate helps the electrons to overcome it by attracting them. I'm oversimplifying the process but that's basically it.

    We stopped going for clock rate a long time ago - we were doing 3ghz+ in the early 2000's - and started pursuing more data in each clock cycle, and more cores to multiply the amount of work that could be done. We don't NEED smaller transistors we can either use physically much larger cpu's or many more of them. I kind of like the idea of having a motherboard with 32 cpu slots in it and you simply add as many cpu's as you want performance. Of course software development needs to change to be highly multi threaded, this would probably benefit most from a hypervisor that dynamically handles this and spreads the load so it appears to the software as 1 core/thread but is actually running on dozens at once

    • @niter43
      @niter43 5 лет назад

      I don't have a good grip in field/might be wrong, but IMO y'all answering are missing main point.
      CPUs run in discrete steps by command of clock signal (imagine a metronome idk), so each transistor has to go into it's final state for given step in constant timeframe, before next clock/beat. Transistors relay on electrons, which can't be faster than speed of light. So, at 5ghz electron can only go for c*(1/5x10^9)=6 centimetres before it's late and next clock starts. Now add overhead of that transistors aren't connected in straight lines, that they aren't actually traveling at full speed of light and add some headroom/tolerances.
      Somewhat-somewhat in the same order of current CPU cores sizes.
      So, to summarize: big cores - low clock speeds. And probably there is not that much to add (and plenty of designs were tried?) to make core bigger, so when lithography shinks CPU manufacturers don't add more transistors to cores, but go for higher clock speeds.
      Adding cores is possibility (because they don't need to be perfectly synchronised on each clock?), but only effective for specific tasks / before certain amount of cores.

    Power consumption of a light based cpu and size will need to be made more viable before anything like that can be used. Switching on lazers and light emitting diodes at speeds required will need massive requirements for startup draw and thermal dissipation. Phase discrepancy of the wave guide will also be a headache. Fiber over longer spans is flexible but on distance like a cpu it will be difficult to work with and develop.

    Uhm... Processor speeds stopped increasing more than 10 years ago, this is not news. But computers are still getting faster though. It's just that you don't get the free speed up you used to get by simply increasing the clock speed. Today you have two or more cores in CPUs, modern GPUs even have thousands of cores, and more and more tasks are solved on GPUs now. You just need to be more clever about it, so software gets written with a parallel or multicore processor architecture in mind.
    I'm not saying that we won't have other than silicon based processors in the future, but you can get very far just with more cores and parallel programming... And if you don't find anything that's a lot (!) faster, you're going to have parallelism anyways, and in that case it would need to be cheaper and as reliable as silicon... Not going to happen soon...

The drawback of S.C is heat generation as the ever increasing number of transistors makes it difficult to keep S.C within temperature limits. There are other limitations but for over 60 years S.C have served us well considering that the chip itself has kept pace with Moore's law.

      @Toastmaster_5000 6 лет назад +5

      I'm no physicist, but it definitely *seems* as though higher voltage does encourage tunneling. Higher voltage from overclocking is known to cause transistors to leak. Generally speaking, the smaller the transistor, the less voltage you want to use. But if there's too little voltage, you can't reliably activate the gates. Voltage gets harder to refine as it gets smaller. This is where the cost effectiveness comes into play.

    • @craigcorson3036
      @craigcorson3036 6 лет назад +1

      Gate voltage is not the same as source voltage. The problem as explained is that source electrons tunnel right through the gate if it's too thin, whether the gate is activated or not. It seems to me (though I don't really know) that dropping the source voltage would solve the problem. Gate voltage could remain whatever it needs to be. Obviously I'm just guessing.

  • @BackFischKuchen

    Yes, current does flow during switching, but a stable voltage level (a stable bit) is what is computed.

Waves and particles in quantum mechanics represent a duality of quantum systems, the ones and zeroes of binary are not some duality, they are just symbols is a formal system that has been arbitrarily defined. Quantum systems typically dont deal with any kind of binary values, but instead have a (possibly infinite) set of discrete values the system can take on. They arent deterministic, they are random .

    The 1 and 0 thing is actually wrong. The only time you will find a current in a transistor, is when it changes its state. The real 1 is the voltage of 5V the transistor has after switching and that 1 is interpreted is by the effect the voltage has on connected transistors as it encourages their gates to react. And 0 would be no voltage. If the current was flowing all throughout the on-state, transistors would need much more space or room-filling cooling systems due to the heat generated by the current. Also, the chips intel makes nowadays would need massive power supplies to run and be very shortlived.

    I want Seeker to talk about PC and Console Gaming, and how with more Powerful GPU's, CPU's and APU's will be in the future and Gaming Industry in 10 and 20 years will be huge.

    Good. Now we can focus on software improvements within a box that doesn't expand and change every freaking 2 years.
    Tired of starting over knowing what I make will be obsolete in the time it takes to make it.

    Humans: we cant shrink silicon chips anymore. No more faster cpu :(
    Me as an intellectual: expand the cpu size haha.

    "end of silicon!" We've been hearing this for a long time and nothing new has ACTUALLY replaced it in CPU's...

    The electrons aren't "teleporting" through the gate, they're simply passing through it without intereference due to the space between the atoms.
