I was thinking the same thing
Comment on So why is 3 nm chip better?
Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 year agoI thought the big hold back for this size was the shenanigans around quantum tunneling messing up data in the CPU. How is that accounted for?

IIRC, anything less than 7-10nm is mostly marketing-speak anyway. Tunneling is a real limit at that scale, but chipmakers keep advertising smaller numbers as a performance-class figure rather than a physical size.
