Comment by Aissen 10 months ago I wished we used the node names, like TSMC N4/N4P/N4X, because nanometers are meaningless. 17 comments Aissen Reply vonneumannstan 10 months ago Well in that context TSMC N4P tells you no more information than 4-nm does. nsxwolf 10 months ago No 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. arnaudsm 10 months ago Are transistors per square mm a better metric ? greggsy 10 months ago I won’t be surprised if the US plants started referring to the 4NM nodes in their imperial form (1.575 × 10-7”) bee_rider 10 months ago Angstroms aren’t imperial, but they are non-SI, so if we want to be petty they’d probably be the way to go. _Algernon_ 10 months ago Scientific notation would be to logical.

I won’t be surprised if the US plants started referring to the 4NM nodes in their imperial form (1.575 × 10-7”)
Angstroms aren’t imperial, but they are non-SI, so if we want to be petty they’d probably be the way to go.
Scientific notation would be to logical. Instead they'll make a new tiny unit that subdivides the inch into 1/81975489347.7 of an inch.
God yes.
