A silicon atom is .12 nanometers across so 5 nanometers is getting close to the bottom.

Is there any way of giving the 13th generation a Passmark score? What Intel mobile and or desktop CPU is this 13th generation equivalent to? My guess is in between i3 and i5 --- Intel 10th generation mobile CPU. And closer to i5 on this.

These 2 processors are roughly equivalent>>> I have a laptop with i5-8250U. It is a good CPU and the 10th gen i5 are not much faster according to passmark scores>>>>>>>

Arizona is a natural location for the next Silicon Valley - if our voters can resist the temptation to vote collectivist because the teachers unions tell them to.
