- adrian_b 4y agoThe dimensions that matter are the pitches of the transistors (i.e. of their gates) and of the first layer of metal interconnections, because these are the dimensions which determine the size of a logical gate or of a memory cell. For state-of-the-art CMOS processes, these pitches are in the range 30 nm ... 50 nm. See for example the table "Comparing Intel 4 to Intel 7", at: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17448/intel-4-process-node-in-detail-2x-density-scaling-20-improved-performance https://www.anandtech.com/show/17448/intel-4-process-node-in...
