Does anyone know if they’re actually at 2nm transistors, or if this is more marketing talk? It’s kinda like when TVs advertised their contrast ratios (do they still do that?) but they all used their own measurement methods, so dynamic contrast ratio became a worthless metric.
Do you think that little moniker will just disappear in a decade or so as we reach 0nm advertisements, or do you think they'll just add more decimal places? 0.0001 nm! Next year, 0.00001!!

But we've found new ways of aligning them so that if we had continued using old techniques, the density we get would be "2nm". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_process
