    • Abstract:
      DEPARTMENTS Intel recently stated that it is completely changing the way in which generations of its microprocessors have been defined, discussed, and evaluated, paving the way for chips to be measured in angstroms, not nanometers. Going forward, Intel's 10nm "enhanced SuperFIN" technology will now be called "Intel 7", mentally placing it on the same tier as the same 7nm process technology AMD uses for its Ryzen chips. ON TO ANGSTROMS Angstroms are simply the next unit of measurement in semiconductors, from microns to nanometers to angstroms - an angstrom is 0.1 nm. [Extracted from the article]
