Don't forget Intel's nanometers are smaller than TSMC nanometers. TSMC 12nm is 25% lower transistor density that Intel's 14nm

- 9nGQluzmnq3M 6y agoWait what? I had no idea this was a thing, can you explain?
- ChoGGi 6y agoEver since (I think) 28nm, companies stopped using nm as an actual gate length and changed it to a marketing size. Edit: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/technology_node https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/technology_node
- chasd00 6y agothat's crazy, and news to me. So now a unit of length is a marketing term. This is even more misleading than branding the word "real" so you can advertise "contains Real(tm) cheese" on food products.
- pkaye 6y agoI think it comes down to what feature length you are measuring. Transistor density seems like a better measure.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoThere is no standard comparison because of different architectures.
