To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−12 seconds and 10−11 seconds (1 picosecond and 10 picoseconds). A picosecond is one millionth of one millionth of a second (0.000 000 000 001 seconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
The IBM 500GHz Silicon-Germanium transistor executes a singular instruction in about 4 picoseconds.[1]
