Most Intel processors are still made on 10nm, which Intel deceptively calls “Intel 7”.
Even the best 10nm processor can’t physically compete with a 3nm one on efficiency.
- andy_ppp 3y agoAll of these terms are largely marketing as far as I’m aware, yes Intel is behind in lithography but not by as much as the difference between 3nm and 10nm would suggest and I’m pretty sure the transistor/feature sizes are not 1/3 the size of Intel’s processes. It will be interesting to see what happens with the Intel 18A process and who builds chips with them. Intel could also rapidly regain the performance crown if these are good processes too.

- hajile 3y agoIntel 10nm is actually smaller than TSMC N7. It has also had two massive performance upgrades which should put it around and maybe ahead of TSMC N6.
