It's not that hard: You just count the pins and divide by 3.

"As of 2019, the highest transistor count in any IC chip is Samsung's 1 TB eUFS (3D-stacked) V-NAND flash memory chip, with 2 trillion floating-gate MOSFETs (4 bits per transistor)."

At 4 bits per transistor and 3 pins, how do you count the samsung bits? :)

The trick is mixing in some good ol analog, and having 2^4 voltages that can be loaded and stored in each transistor
