    Wow, 3nm, we’re nearing Moore’s law ceiling, what a time to be alive. 55% is impressive to me at least.

        Yes, I imagine real 3nm is nearly impossible, but we’re inching towards it. Still, that’s very nearly the limit for conventional digital ICs.

          It’s possible, but the leakage gets ridiculous, all kinds of things have to change, we aren’t near there yet.

          I’m honestly amazed we got as far as we did.

        It’s been that way since ~90nm nodes. First large scale 90nm production was for a revised PS2 chip in 2003. Intel’s launched in 2004.

        Node names haven’t lined up with node sizes for nearly 20 years now. Not a recent development.
