  Nanometers have actually been a marker of generation for quite a while. 3nm is actually 24. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process

    Intel does it and it’s annoying. 7mm lithography is actually 10nm. No idea how they get away with false advertising.

      If they do 10nm++++ people also get angry.

    That seems… Illegal. Mich the same as selling a “foot long” Sub or Hotdog which is only 11".

    At the very least it’s misleading.
