I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many individually packaged transistors are produced each year?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Although several companies each produce over a billion individually packaged (known as discrete) transistors every year, the vast majority of transistors are now produced in integrated circuits (often shortened to IC, microchips or simply chips), along with diodes, resistors, capacitors and other electronic components, to produce complete electronic circuits.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
