B) Increasing transistor miniaturization
C) Using new materials for the chip that increase conductivity
D) Putting more transistors on the chip
E) All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed contribute to the increased complexity of microprocessors. Decreasing line width (A) and increasing transistor miniaturization (B) allow for more transistors to be placed on a chip, directly contributing to its complexity. Using new materials that increase conductivity (C) can improve the performance and efficiency of the chip, indirectly contributing to complexity by enabling more complex circuit designs. Putting more transistors on the chip (D) directly increases its complexity by allowing for more sophisticated functions and capabilities.
