And last time I checked into it, neither has much to do with 7 or 10 nanometers. The 'feature sizes' of old are not actually on that scale, rather it's more a measure (read: marketing speak) of resolution than of feature size at this point? I still can't get good answers. As a biologist used to working with objects that actually do have features on the order of 0.1nm, and volumes with less than <5nm per side, I'm trying to figure out just how big these transistors really are to fit into my existing mental models. At what point do the transistors actually have to start dealing with (can they deal with) quantum/thermal/structural effects of being so small.
