32nm summer of 2009, 22nm summer of 2011, 16nm summer of 2013, and that's about the limit of transistor size. At that size the electrons start to walk right through the transistor's gate. To get any smaller we would have to find a replacement for using transistors, maybe something like MRAM.

Who's to say that they didn't intend "wafer" as the virb?

Its Good , by my Guesstimate, thats 3.3X more die per wafer, yet 22 nm is half decade off.

Well Charlie, what is the truth, did they stumble out or did you stumble in?
By the way, our high quality recreational soft drugs are not sold in bars but in coffeeshops. That name is just as generic, but now my fellow readers can find it and enjoy this nice country in the appropriate colours even when it rains.
Reminds me, got to get me some :)
