If the speed of electrical charge hasn't changed, how have

Progress in semiconductor manufacturing is measured in terms of nanometers, where smaller is better, I think we're at 4nm now.

I want you to get ussain bolt to carry a message to two places at once.

>>9104546
you have more gates in logical circuits which sort of means that more operations can be carried out at a given point in time which means that maths is carried out faster

The smaller the transistors get the less distance a signal has to travel; compact transistor arrays reduces signal travel time. Also the lower capacitance of a smaller gate probably helps. Also smaller transistors leads to faster switching recovery times? Don't quote me.

Why didn't they just jump to shorter wavelengths of light for printing smaller dies from the start? Idk.

Gb2 /v/ where you belong, brainlet.

Computers increase in speed for a huge number of reasons. One of them is better materials, which allow an increase in clock rate without overheats that would damage the equipment. Another is the ability to do more than one thing at a time, such as with multi-core processors. Computers are bottlenecked way too early for the speed of light and the size of the processors to matter significantly. The size of transistors does matter though, not because of the speed of electricity, but because it lets you cram more in a smaller space.

This is a thread for /g/ though.

Money?

>more, more
Im still jst playing one game though, i get how more could help if you have a database or something running on the CPU, but not in normal programs.
