OT: Nanoprocessor vs. Microprocessor

[Nielo TM]

Could someone explain to me difference between Nanoprocessor and Microprocessor?



I can’t believe I don’t know the differences, especially when I’m already well informed about quantum and neural processors lol.

I assume you’re talking about 10 electrons vs. 3 electrons

I think his math is a little off, but I think he's referring to how the micro prefix denotes 10^-6 while the nano prefix denotes 10^-9

ie. 1 nanometer = 10^-9 meters and 1 micrometer = 10^-6 meters

Either way, the difference between 10^-6 and 10^-9 is 0.000000999 or 9.99x10^-7

I think his math is a little off

That's because you assumed he's subtracting. Maybe he's dividing.
