- __alexs 5y agoExcept the density can vary hugely for a single process depending on the type of circuit you're building so even measuring that is quite tricky.
- 0-_-0 5y agoAn improved metric is for example the LMC metric, which uses 3 numbers: density of logic (Dₗ), the density of main memory (Dₘ), and the density of the interconnects linking them (Dᶜ). But density is still a fundamental metric: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27219935 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27219935
