Normally? That "standard" hasn't been used "normally" for 20 years now. Arguably the new way is normal in every sense of the word

- dmix 3y agoDo you think they'll be advertising 0.9nm in the future or switch it up at some point?
- bmicraft 3y agoIntel has already switched to Ångström for the most part
- smallmancontrov 3y agoI see MTr/mm2 a lot, it feels like a better measure, and it feels like the time is ripe for marketing to make a jump. Bigger is better, "mega" is cool, the numbers are hundreds to thousands in the foreseeable future so no chance of confusion with nm. What's not to love? But hey, I don't make these decisions, and I see no indication that anyone in a position to make these decisions has actually made them. Shrug.
- tommiegannert 3y agoYes. By standard I mean that nanometers ("nm") is used to describe physical distances. That's it's normal use, understood by all engineers. That's also how it was born into the semiconductor domain. In that domain, it should have either stayed a description of physical distances, or been replaced. They could invent codenames, or start using a better (physical) metric, if this one is no longer relevant.
