TAMC is going to start mass producing 1.4 nm chips soon


What would this mean?

Same size as your dick. AYOOOOOO!

Nothing, business as usual.
And if ASML doesn't considerably improves the throughput of High-NA it'll end like another costly "157-nm".

More like what does it mean that they won't adopt ASML's High-NA EUV machines for it?
How are they going to do it otherwise?

Well nothing since nanometers these days don't actually mean shit.
It's not the gate size it's not the chip size it's not anything. It's a made up number to indicate how much it does in terms of IPC.

remember when AMD used to call their chips

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+

As in 64 bit instruction set, Two cores of 2.6 GHz so combined they're supposed to be as strong as a Pentium 4 at 5000 Mhz

It means a full node shrink for all PPA metrics vs now bleeding edge N2 nanosheets.

Less surface area for cooling.

But less heat they say, is it true though?

yes it's generally true, but the advertised sizes don't correspond to anything really.
the silicon atom is 0.1nm in diameter, so at 1.4nm there would be only a 14 atom gap between components, which is impossible to achieve because of quantum tunneling effects at that size

Why make midwit posts like this instead of just learning about BEOL metal pitches?

that has nothing to do with how the semiconductor performs.

That is a non sequitur you fucking idiot. The topic was feature sizes, not PPA.

X86 laptops get improved battery life and server CPU's get more energy efficient?

Metal feature sizes have a lot to do with how the chip performs as a whole. Ft of a modern semiconductor is hundreds of Ghz and it does not matter because of all the rest of the shit it’s hooked up to

whats the frequency for 5.6nm wavelenght

Guess this means they will use OP's dick to cut the traces in the silicon, more fucking likely than them mastering a process they have absolutely no idea about. Small dicked retard gorilla nigger faggot.

It means AMD can finally move to 3nm.
