Does Samsung have any claims of how their 3nm compares to TSMC 5nm currently in released products? My understanding was that Samsung’s previous nodes have been less power efficient than the competition at similar performance, so I would guess TSMC 4nm would still be a strong competitor.
We will need to start reporting transistors per square micron. But it is the same number.
I drove past a Micron Technology building last month, and had to reflect on how many square microns a 6502 would take, nowadays. Not counting TTL drivers, looks like around 4x5 microns. An original ARM would fit in like 10x20 microns. Invisible either way.
