You could still specify the maximum possible transistor density for the process. It doesn't mean a concrete design actually has to use it. Or make it an SRAM bit, because caches take up the bulk of the area anyway.
- blattimwind 8y agoPretty much equivalent to SRAM cell density, which you can measure under a microscope.
- sevensor 8y agoSpeaking of SRAM, it's interesting how much effort is devoted to keeping the logic busy so they don't have to spend chip area on cache.
