One extra complicating factor is that each process node will have several different transistor libraries that make different tradeoffs between density and power/frequency. So a smartphone SoC will tend to have a higher MT/mm^2 number than a server CPU or GPU.
- Symmetry 7y agoYeah, the difference is more or less a factor of 3. The node gives you a smallest transistor size but making some transistors bigger than others lets you reach higher frequencies.
