lousydTIL there are approximately 13 sextillion transistors in existence
One iPhone has about 8 billion transistors in it, so makes sense
13 sextillion transistors is about 1625 billion transistors per human, though - or just over 200 iPhones’ worth of transistors per person. That’s still about an order of magnitude higher than I’d have guessed.
itslilithA modern data center GPU has 100 billion or more, and think of all the infrastructure and household devices that have microchips in them as well
The numbers are totally off though.
A current-gen iPhone SoC has about 19 billion transistors. That does not include transistors from flash memory. Following the numbers it does also not include RAM.
IPhone transistor count becomes completely irrelevant when you start looking at flash chips. Even a 16GB flash drive can contain 64 billion transistors.
