Oh! Do you mean how many actual nanometers a transistor made on a '2nm' process is?

What I mean is: WTF, no one cares how many nanometers it is... why lie about it either way, anyways?

I think that’s a popular sentiment, but we should all appreciate the person who answered your question as if it was good-faith, right? That’s a good instinct for somebody to have.

for sure... I didn't down-vote him unlike some other people... I can't down-vote on this account anyways (I actually up-voted him because I saw his comment had been shadow banned, which is another terrible practice... humans are messed up, I hope AI takes over, for the better or the worst)
