These transistors are so small that their size is calculated not in millimeters, and not even in hundredths of a millimeter, but in nanometers.<\/p>\n<p>Why do they make them so small?\u00a0The smaller the transistor, the less power it consumes.\u00a0At the same time, their performance does not fall, so manufacturers of processors (and smartphones) are so chasing the reduction in the size of transistors.<br \/>\nIn 1987, leading semiconductor companies produced chips using the 800-nm process technology.\u00a0By 2001, this number was significantly reduced &#8211; to 130 nm.\u00a0Today you most likely hear about 7-nm and 10-nm chips.\u00a0The first type usually refers to TSMC processors, and the second produces its own Intel chips.\u00a0In two years, we may see the first 3-nm chip, they are already working on it.\u00a0Better performance is not the only advantage of smaller transistors.\u00a0They are also able to provide longer battery life and a significant increase in speed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8461\" src=\"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-18-at-12.18.33-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"711\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-18-at-12.18.33-PM.png 711w, https:\/\/techoverall.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-18-at-12.18.33-PM-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"processory_iphone\">iPhone processors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Processors developed by Apple for the iPhone, of course, have improved significantly over several years since the size of the transistors in the chips has decreased.
