This has me really excited for the future. One question I have now is how this compares to Intel’s roadmap. I’ve read comparisons like “TSMC 7nm is equivalent to Intel 10nm” but never seen any further discussion that goes deeper into how that’s true.

- dumbfoundded 7y agoTo summarize the article: the density at which Intel can pack the transistors on a chip is high enough even with a larger transistor size, still means Intel has more transistors in the same chip size. The advantage of the 7nm TSMC transistor is that they are faster and more power-efficient.
- kkmx 7y agoNo that's not a correct summary either. The part about faster and more power-efficient is incorrect.
