> It's a bit odd to me basing a purchasing decision on process nodes. It's a bit odd to want a SOC with reduced power usage and/or improved performance? > Compared to TSMC's N5 manufacturing technology, the company's N3 production node promises to deliver a 10% to 15% performance improvement (at the same power and transistor count), reduce power consumption by 25% – 30% (at the same frequency and complexity), and increase logic density by around 1.6 times. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-kicks-off-3nm-production https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-kicks-off-3nm-product...
