minus-squareBetaDoggo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up58·1 year agoNanometers have actually been a marker of generation for quite a while. 3nm is actually 24. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process
minus-squareOderus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·1 year agoIntel does it and it’s annoying. 7mm lithography is actually 10nm. No idea how they get away with false advertising.

minus-squareDoubletwist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-21 year agoThat seems… Illegal. Much the same as selling a “foot long” Sub or Hotdog which is only 11". At the very least it’s misleading.
minus-squaresmakas@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·1 year agoFrom Wikipedia: The term “3 nanometer” has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors.
