Maxim Integrated’s Family of CMTI Isolated Gate Drivers: Drive High Power Transistors
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/maxim-integrateds-family-of-cmti-isolated-gate-drivers-drive-high-power-transistors
Almost every modern electrical system uses switching power supplies. Due to its low current digital signaling, a microcontroller is not considered to be efficient in driving high power transistors of power supplies. Therefore, a gate driver is used to amplify the microcontroller output before it is fed into the input of a high power transistor.

Chinese e-commerce conglomerate Alibaba unveiled its Hanguang 800 12nm AI chip, featuring a total of 17 billion transistors. At present, it is only for use in the company's own cloud servers.
Moore’s Law is Dead. What Happens Next?
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/moores-law-is-dead.-what-happens-next
Since 1965, computer engineers have lived by the words of Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the density of transistors that can be crammed onto a chip will double every 12 months. But, Moore’s Law is more of an observation and an extrapolation of trends than a genuine law of nature. Technology struggled to keep up and, within a decade, the optimistic 12-month prediction had extended to 18 months then, later, to 24 months.
