I know there is some truth to what you're saying, but if that really was the full story, why wouldn't it be "Intel 2nm"?

- Retric 6y agoPresumably because people aren’t buying chips based on the node size used and they would get bad press from calling it 2nm. My guess is it simply relates to the node refreshes in the old pattern of old node / ~1.414 = new node size. With different companies picking different arbitrarily differences in nodes aka intel’s 14nm++ was better than it’s initial 10nm process. That said you can read some interesting details here: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process
