I really hope they can all decide on a better number which everyone agrees on soon. It's ridiculous having to look up each time if Intel 10nm is the same as which one from TSMC again and all of that. There have been some contenders, but the lure of saying "hey, I have the smallest number, so my process is best!" is just too strong it seems.
- jasonwatkinspdx 3y agoHave you considered that things are complicated enough now it can't be boiled down to single number comparisons?
- sgift 3y agoSure, but I know that there have been various proposals for a better number. Different companies just couldn't decide on which proposal they like the best.
- verall 3y agoSince Intel changed their node names you can roughly assume that for a given node TSMC > Intel > Samsung. This might change in the future if Intel gets their shit together but I'm not buying their stock yet, they look like the Boeing of microchips to me.
