People think it is transistor size that is 14 nm, which is not. It is metal pitch on high density memory chips that have repetitive patterns all over the chip.

That sentence is not wrong. It looks well stated.
- dbcooper 11y ago14nm is supposed to refer to the gate length (which may be larger than the node name). The gate pitch of Intel's 14nm CPU process node is more like 70nm.

- creshal 11y agoI think the last process where process name = gate length was 90nm. Ever since the naming scheme was more a historic artefact than anything else.
