JSK888, 26 Apr 2024Wow, I wish Huawei and TSMC worked again. Then, Huawei'... moreEnvious? Kirin was always behind Snapdragon and the A series why would you be envious of 2nd placers?

very competent contributions... lol... it seems that you all have no idea about physical quantities, A means Aengstroem, written Ångström, Å for short, is a unit of measurement for length. 1 Å corresponds to 10-10 m, or 0.1 nm.

Wow, I wish Huawei and TSMC worked again. Then, Huawei's 3nm, 2nm, 1.6nm HiSilicone Kirin chips will just crush Qualcomm, Exynos and also maybe Apple's Bionic chips. USA was envy about HiSilicone, so they banned Huawei and TSMC working together. This is not the freedom which USA claims!

I wouldn't be surprised if Intel's 25nm process outperforms this nonsense number by a factor of 2:1.
1.6 nm is probably just 7++++ nm, in honest terms.

Darth Caesium, 25 Apr 2024TSMC N1.6 doesn't sound as impressive as this article ... moreUltimately none of the advanced nodes give me any hope, as their yields are gonna be just as bad as the current ones while the costs will be astronomical. All of which being passed down to the customer, regardless if its from TSMC, Intel or Samsung Semiconductor.
Make the 450mm wafers real, which is sadly a dream since the Pentium 4 days.

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2024and they are probably 1.6nm the same as smartphone cameras ... moreSincerely, someone that does not understand image sensor naming conventions? It's in the name. 1" TYPE. Holdover from the days of analog TV. Of course it's not exactly 1", things don't transfer from analog to digital like that.

and they are probably 1.6nm the same as smartphone cameras use 1 inch sensor, just on paper. I bet in reality if were to be measured they are much bigger than that

With 2027 marking the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, I wouldn't be surprised if we got the first 1.6nm process chips there. (Probably with a major redesign like with the X).

i haven't looked too much into the true measurements, i'm sure that should they get any smaller we must be verging on particle size switches, which is pretty insane.
