"Remember 20-odd years ago feature sizes under 1000nm were considered impressive?"

Yup.

I'm a retired chip-maker, 1994.

We were running 1.5 microns (1500nm) in production and beginning to run 1.0 micron feature sizes in production. And, experimenting with 0.5 micron sizes.

Was just over reading this:

AMD Has Plans To Create The ‘Starship’ Processor With 48 Cores / 96 Threads On The 7nm Node

Also has an imbedded link to the EE Times article regarding the 7 nm chip by IBM and SUNY Research Lab.
