The nm nomenclature is nominal and not an actual measurement. i It's a concept of the level of improvement. Also not what TSMC uses https://www.pcgamer.com/int

- paulryanrogers 3y agoSounds like bullshit has replaced a once useful physical measurement. They should've found a new, real and objective measurement or just given up and used a date or arbitrary version scheme.
- _kulang 3y agoThe shape and construction of the gates and transistors changed. Minimum feature size ceased to correlate with density/performance in some senses. This scheme has been somewhat arbitrary since about 20nm or so afaik, but expectations are set around what the number communicates, so here we are.
