Why are the GHz speeds in computers the same after such a long period of time?
In: Engineering
Simply put we can’t make them any smaller. For the longest time & for most of the speed up, computers got faster because we could make their most basic part(a transistor) smaller. The smaller the parts, the smaller the distance electricity had to move to make things work.
But now we’ve gotten to the point that the transistor is only a few atoms, and any smaller & it just won’t work.
