While AMD is already selling CPUs at 7nm.



To be fair they measure them differently.

For reference, Intel 10nm has slightly higher transistor density than 7nm TSMC or Samsung

Table after the chart says TSMC's 7nm+, currently in mass production, has higher density than Intel's upcoming 10nm.

TSMC’s 7nm+ 115.8 MTr/mm²

Intel’s 10nm 100.8 MTr/mm² (2018 estimate)


It is completely insane (and awesome) that "Million transistors per square millimeter" is a useful unit.
