I wished we used the node names, like TSMC N4/N4P/N4X, because nanometers are meaningless.

- stingraycharles 2y agoAs such I’m going to assume it’s the least impressive variant of 4NM.
- arnaudsm 2y agoAre transistors per square mm a better metric ?

- rad_gruchalski 2y ago> (1 football field = 91.44 meters) By? Which football? The real football, or the football played mostly with hands?
- plaguuuuuu 2y ago= 100m if you're using metric football fields

- greggsy 2y agoI won’t be surprised if the US plants started referring to the 4NM nodes in their imperial form (1.575 × 10-7”)
- _Algernon_ 2y agoScientific notation would be to logical. Instead they'll make a new tiny unit that subdivides the inch into 1/81975489347.7 of an inch.
- bee_rider 2y agoAngstroms aren’t imperial, but they are non-SI, so if we want to be petty they’d probably be the way to go.
- Dylan16807 2y agoGod yes.
- vonneumannstan 2y agoWell in that context TSMC N4P tells you no more information than 4-nm does.
- nsxwolf 2y agoNo information, but at least it doesn't mislead into thinking there are 4nm transistors, or transistor gates, or some discrete feature of any sort that's that small.
