Here are some key issues that would arise: - Volume: A processor using 100 million discrete transistors at 3 mm^3 each would have a minimum volume of 2700 m^3, or a cube over 14 meters on each side. This is impractically large. - Speed: Signals would need to traverse distances of over 14 meters between components, slowing operations significantly. - Power: Driving signals over such long distances would require enormous amounts of power. - Reliability: A system with so many discrete components spread over such a large volume would be prone to failures and have very low manufacturing yields. Maintaining consistent performance across such a large system would be infeasible. - Cost: The

Intel Processors
Moore’s Law
• Observation: Number of transistors on ICs will double
approximately every two years (1965 by
Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel)
• 1965: doubling every year for a decade in the
number of components per integrated circuit
• 1975, looking forward to the next decade, he revised
the forecast to doubling every two years till 201x

Visual Interpretation of Moore’s Law
• Suppose
What if…
integrated circuits were not invented and
we atempted to build a processor using
100 million “discrete”
transistors. If each device occupies a volume of 3 mm x 3 mm
x 3 mm, determine the minimum volume for the processor.
What other issues would arise in such an implementation?

• The minimum volume is given by 27 mm3 x 108, i.e., a


cube 1.4 m on each side!
• Slow – signals would need to traverse 1.4 m
• If each discrete transistor weighed 1 g, the processor
would weigh 100 tons
• Power consumption
