Marques Brownlee Takes a Journey Inside the Apple M5 Chip

Marques Brownlee created a visual journey shrinking from human size down to atomic levels to demonstrate the incredible miniaturization of modern computer components, specifically Apple's M5 chip. Using clever animations, he shows how transistors have followed Moore's Law over decades, becoming exponentially smaller while dramatically increasing in number. The M5 chip contains approximately 28 billion transistors using 3 nanometer technology, a stark contrast to room-sized computers with light bulb-sized vacuum tubes from the 1940s.
