Anyone care to explain how they got to 5nm so quickly?

- gjsman-1000 6y agoSimple. They booked 100% of TSMC.

- Covzire 6y agoIt's 7nm with some improved process. Or 10nm with 2 improvements, or 14nm with 3 improvements, etc. The process names are completely detached from reality in terms of actual transistor feature size. The only thing we can be reasonably certain of is that 5nm has some kind of improved density over 7nm.
- temp667 6y agoBy shoveling loads of cash at TSMC - does anyone know how much - it's got to be millions/billion?
- jonplackett 6y agoThey paid TSMC the most and bought up nearly all their capacity.
