  1. A couple of things: The term "nm" stands for nanometer, a tiny measurement that is one-billionth of a meter. It's tiny, and there was a time when process nodes were truly measured in actual nanometers. It usually defined the size of a transistor's gate length and metal half-pitch (half the distance between the beginning of one metal interconnect and the next on a chip), which were both the same size. That reality stopped in the 90s, however, and ever since then, the 'nm' measurement has been nothing more than a marketing term. Also... IBM crams 30 billion switches onto a chip the size of a fingernail. Using nanosheets, IBM has created transistors for a 5nm chip
