Ever wondered whats inside your GPU?

I studied these kind of stuffs in Electronics Engineering School but every time I see things like these it still amazes me... and even though I studied electronics, I get the basic concepts and the laws of physics/chemistry taking place on how these processes work. still, to design something like these, to manufacture, to design the manufacture, to do everything perfectly, at very small scale, so we can just all play games at 4k or 144FPS is UNREAL.

"standing in the shoulders" of giants is a real thing. Not one person could have come up with these kind of stuff in a single lifetime alone. It requires years of research, practice, and techniques, from many different people and in order to do something like this and improve/upgrade it as time passes. Although sometimes they do milk the technologies indeed so they can get max profit

i wish to know if there is a pic of anything smaller than a transistor in a chip.

You mean like part of a FinFet transistor, source or drain fin and the gate?

In this one that shows zoomed-in top point of the fin, you can even see silicon atoms in a 70 degree grid/lattice:

all images are made 5 years ago, mind you - there should be more advanced imagery out there

Would need whats inside a transistor like atoms etc 16nm

It would look the same only more compressed ... see these yellow/blue/red arrows on the top image that show distances like pitch, fin width, gate length ... only those distances would be lower, pitch would be 16nm
Too bad these images are part of the researches that happen few times in a decade, not something updated regularly :laugh:

yes they should be updated regularly.
 
I should try this on a 27 inch 1440p monitor next
 
My friends gpu is made of dog hair and dust.
 
this process has always amazed me

Not the internals but here’s my naked Vega Nitro+

You're telling me they aren't made of pixie dust?

Considering how small transistors have become and Turing's transistor count is 18.6 billion for the 2080 Ti. It might as well be made of pixie dust.

this is what these pieces of the die mean.

i put link to it on main post (Marked Die)
