Yeah, so the node names now apparently refer to the "smallest feature size", which is some random thing on the M0 metal layer. Source - from a former Intel engineer for more than a decade


So not like when games consoles used to advertise how many "bits" they had: take whatever has the widest bus and advertise that as the number of "bits" or use tricks like the Atari Jaguar: 2x 32bit cpu's = 64bit, right? RIGHT?


That's how Intel define it; other fabs have their own definitions.
