A nanometer, or 1 billionth of a meter, refers to the size of a transistor, and the smaller the size, the greater the number of transistors that can be placed on a chip.

Making better chips for AI is increasingly about how they are laid out and stitched together—not just cramming together as many transistors as possible on a single piece of silicon.

From The Wall Street Journal ● Oct. 13, 2026

Their computations, which are in effect the switching on and off of microscopic silicon transistors that make up a chip, are actually silent.
