- throwaway2048 7y agoNot directly no, but the actual feature size and density of TSMC 7nm and Intel 10nm are comparable.
- pkaye 7y agoWhat about die size?
- throwaway2048 7y agoDie size is independent of process size, customers can order most any die size they want.
- wtallis 7y agoThen you have to ensure you're comparing chips designed for the same market segment. Die size comparisons work well if you're talking about a Cortex-A53 on 16nm vs 12nm. It doesn't work as well when you're talking about a full SoC, or even a desktop CPU+GPU combo where core counts for both sides of the chip can vary greatly.
