From what I have gathered the smallest trace spacing is 3nm but not all traces. So it would be interesting to know what percentage is and the progress in getting all or most to 3nm.
- rob74 5y agoI'm not an expert, but from what I have been reading these "node names" have been pretty much decoupled from actual trace dimensions for a few years already. So I wouldn't be surprised to find out that most of the structures are in fact bigger than 3nm. To quote Wikipedia (on the 5nm process!): The term "5 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. It is a commercial or marketing term used by the chip fabrication industry to refer to a new, improved generation of silicon semiconductor chips in terms of increased transistor density, increased speed and reduced power consumption.
