They both manufacture silicon gates.. what does it matter if the production infrastructure on top is different.

- gameswithgo 8y agothe way they measure size is different
- garmaine 8y agoAh. What confused me was the word “process” which typically refers to the stack of things that take a high level description of a circuit and turn it into instructions for the machine to execute to make the wafer.
- MrEldritch 8y agoThe engineering involved in shrinking the gates these days is Herculean enough that Intel's 10nm and 7nm processes are genuinely distinct processes in that sense as well.
- etaoins 8y agoIn semiconductor fabrication “process” almost always refers to the manufacturing process, not the design process.
