    Sure, but so it’s still non-sensical to compare a transistor to a whole chip. That’s like saying a trumpet is louder than an orchestra.

    1. No, it just isn’t.
    2. If we’re somehow talking about an orchestra made up of lots of trumpet players being louder than a traditional orchestra, like alright, but then we still gotta figure out what it actually looks like in an orchestra. Does this new transistor actually use less space, for example? What’s the price for it? And so on…

      the analogy to an orchestra could only work if the trumpets were molded out of the orchestra and the orchestra only consisted of trumpets; then comparing a single trumpet would make sense since you’re comparing it to other trumpets in different orchestras.
