It's important to note that 1.6nm is just a marketing naming scheme and has nothing to do with the actual size of the transistors.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process

Look at the 3nm process and how the gate pitch is 48nm and the metal pitch is 24nm. The names of the processes stopped having to do with the size of the transistors over a decade ago. It is stupid.

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.

Yeah but you are talking about hot tubs and they are talking about hot tubes so maybe the rules are different like the tube is really hot but is a poor thermal conductor. Or they misspelled tub and they really like burning themselves...... lots of options for interpretation here.

FrankFrankson ,

It could also be a gross sex term for a dick. During sexy time someone could say to me "yeah give me that hot tube" and I would be immediately less interested in sex.

They suspended xvideos.com's account and the rumor is they are considering calling the videos on their platform xvideos... I REALLY REALLY want this to happen.
