Intuitively, this makes sense at human scales. But microprocessors are tiny. The i7 4770, which is in my machine right now, has a die size of 177mm^2. The die has a thickness of 775um, for a volume of ~137mm^3. Even if you made the whole processor out of helium, you could make 100,000 of them out of a single 14 liter party balloon. The Zeppelin NT, which holds 8225m^3 of helium, contains enough for 60 billion high end processors. |
