Though by stacking 2D layers they can artificially balloon their density figures: 7nm is nominally ~95 million transistors per mm2 - but stack two of them and you can boast having 185MTr/mm2
I just found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/bx9408/how_does_intels_10nm_have_a_higher_transistor/ https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/bx9408/how_does_i... - so yeah, numbers are meaningless
- d110af5ccf 5y agoRelated: The node is nonsense (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9150552 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9150552) Different number have different amounts of meaning. The technology is so incredibly complicated at this point that coming up with a single number that can be used for meaningful comparisons doesn't appear to be possible.
