How fast are transistors today?
A
100s of times per second
B
1000s of times per second
C
10, 000s of times per second
D
1, 000, 000s of times per second
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The highest transistor count in a consumer microprocessor is 114 billion transistors, in Apple’s ARM-based dual-die M1 Ultra system on a chip, which is fabricated using TSMC’s 5 nm semiconductor manufacturing process.

Detailed explanation-2: -If it’s a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM ) then there are 6 transistors per unit cell “bit” but there are 8 bits in a Byte so a 1 GigaByte (GB) memory has 6*8 billion transistors or 48 billion transistors.
