Hang on a second. Out of curiosity, I went and looked up the fabrication process for that P5. Wikipedia says the original was 800nm. Current-gen dies (like the Apple M4) are 3nm. Do I have that right? Are those numbers really comparable?
@felyashono Well, 3 nm is sort of a marketing term rather than a real dimension. But yes, chips have scaled down amazingly. That's how the M4 has 28 billion transistors while the 1993 Pentium had 3.1 million transistors, an improvement of almost 4 orders of magnitude.
