How small is small
Looking over the new Sandy Bridge specs, the 32nm (nano meter) technology caught my interest. How small is that really?
Well, if you assumed that the distance from the earth to the moon (which is about equivalent to 9 times around the equator) were 1 meter, then 32 nm would be about 10 centimeters or 4 inches - amazing.
