    That is ridiculous. Does 3nm mean anything or it is purely marketing?

      Every process name is basically a marketing a gimmick. You could sort of use the previous names as a ratio to get a general idea of uplift but that isn’t really accurate either. To further confuse things Intel’s naming scheme had bigger nm values but is a similar size to lower numbered names from TSMC.
