I'm not sure you can extrapolate that from one company's use of one foundry's process nodes. Intel at least seems to be doing well with their 22 nm process nod

- marcosdumay 13y agoYep, they seem to be doing well, but they are almost an entire doubling time later if you compare the two previous doublings with to Moore's law.
- hga 13y agoThis might in part be explained by their moving to nonplanar FinFET transistors. And in practice their geometry doesn't quite match the idealized drawings: http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1261761 http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1261761
- hershel 13y agoWho knows. How can anybody tell if 28nm if more cost effective than 28 nm when it isn't sold in the market as a fab ?
