So how small are individual components (e.g., transistors) nowadays? Presumably there's a lower limit: once you're a few atoms across, it seems that you can't go any smaller (?).
- whazor 8mo agoThis is about increasing output per machine via upgrades.

- hinkley 8mo agoI still think we should have gone with average gates per square mm as a new yardstick. It would also make sense to the Numbers Go Up people.
- itopaloglu83 8mo agoIt’s going to be quite funny if they can go below 40nm in gate pitch size, because they’ll need to call it 0nm.
- ahazred8ta 8mo agoGates are about 30-50 nm wide, even though they're called '3nm' for marketing reasons.
- phkahler 8mo agoMetal pitch is 26nm. That means parallel wires can be placed 2 wavelengths apart with 13.5nm light.

- kakacik 8mo agoYou only need to live in reasonable place for that phrase to have a proper meaning, across whole market from cheapest to most expensive.
- denkmoon 8mo agoWhat is 'proper meaning'? Only a single brand of egg in my supermarket is genuinely free range per the definition supplied by our agricultural scientists (CSIRO, Australia) - less than 1500 hens per hectare. "Free range" can mean anything up to 10,000 hens per hectare.
- PearlRiver 8mo agohttps://beterleven.dierenbescherming.nl/ https://beterleven.dierenbescherming.nl/ They have a code in my country that is pretty simple from 1 to 3. The highest tier is 11 chickens per square meter apparently (I do not eat poultry myself).

- blinding-streak 8mo agoAs The Register used to call it, these clean-sounding process nodes (15nm, 5nm, 3nm etc) are "marchitecture." Marketing architecture. Reality is much messier.
- cyptus 8mo agosome gates are only 10-14 nm wide, thats about 50 silicon atoms!
