Hey guys - great stuff as always. Just to clarify something here. When companies talk about the nanometer process node, it is only a marketing concept these days. It simply represents the next generation of improvement in design and density. While it used to mean exactly what you said, the distance between transistors, it is not that way anymore. The most advanced process nodes are currently ~13-14nm in terms of actual gate distances. Just wanted to clarify that. There is actually a real debate in the industry if actual 10nm or 7nm geometries are even possible.
