Here's my transistor scaling chart. TSMC 5nm should be coming this year, with 1.8x scaling. So my numbers say we haven't stalled yet. https://docs.google.com/s

  But those numbers are process node name value, as I said they no longer directly relate to transistor channel length. Transistors are still shrinking by some measures, but not in the same simple way that one dimensional process node names make it appear.

    No, I'm plotting the number of transistors per unit area.

      Ahh sorry my mistake. Although that is still a proxy for transistor scale - what's interesting is your plot shows that in terms of density transistor scale is still managing to follow a log scale trend, in spite of the fact transistor scaling itself stopped being uniform long ago.
