Where are all the 'nano meters' is just marketing guys the way GHz became back in the day that Intel ended up obsessing over. Are we using these values as proxies for performance now? It was true back in the day -- is it still true?
- kayson 2y agoIt is a proxy for performance in a sense. I think it's either logic density or some arbitrary weighting of PPA. It's definitely not the same as it was when we were scaling actual gate lengths. Although it seems the foundries are now making the minimum drawn length close to or the same as the process designation. This was less so the case in the 5-7nm generation. I wonder if people were being stupid about it...
