- genericone 8y agoI think it depends on the tier at which the company does its business in. Is the OEM involved in the latest nodes, or are they working with sizes >100nm? Secrets are kept tight for any company with any tech relating to the latest nodes <10nm. It just so happens that IBM has been working on sub-10nm processes for a long time, so they have a lot of secrets to keep, hence I am not surprised by the article heading.
- ci5er 8y agoI get your point, but even when everyone was at a micron, 100nm was the super-secret stuff. This "ratio" has been a constant for ~40 years.
