How small is a TRANSISTOR exactly? Companies like Intel and AMD talk about transistors being 2 or 3 nanometers large, but is that actually how small they are? In this video, we're going to zoom in on the smallest devices and technologies that drive our modern world.

If you're wondering why some devices are out of order in regards to size, here's the reason. The order of devices shown is primarily organized by decreasing size, however sometimes we prioritize the year in which the technology was commercialized, and then a couple times we order the objects based on the flow of the animation.

Errata:
The DRAM 1T1C model is actually showing 2x 1T1C DRAM cells, and the actual dimension is half. The reason for this is that they share a bit line, and thus the base unit is 2x 1T1C DRAM cell.
