Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk recently came out strongly against IBM's naming strategy for its newly unveiled '0.7-nanometer' chip fabrication process, branding it as deceptive. He emphasized that the label fails to precisely represent the actual minimum feature size of the transistors. Instead, he proposed that process names should be defined according to 'the number of atoms present in the minimum feature width.' Yesterday, IBM revealed its 0.7nm manufacturing technology, asserting that its 'Nanostack' solution stands among the most cutting-edge logic chip processes globally. Nevertheless, IBM also clarified in its technical documentation that '7 angstroms (0.7 nanometers)' does not denote the width of metal interconnects; rather, it simply signifies a new-generation process node.
