Lithography 14 nm
___
This is the 14nm CPU desktop computer/ 16 gb ram/ Windows 11 / I am typing on right now. It works great! I have a laptop with lower NM at 10 nm. TSMC is down to 7 NM last I looked.
People can obsess about NM but I think10 NM is good enough. What I really like about Bill Gates Windows is the ability to tone down the blue light at night

Eh, that’s not really germane to the topic at hand.
That said, 65nm limits Russian native manufacture (barring any off the wall techniques/applications) to chips and speeds roughly comparable to what was available on the consumer market in 2003 or so.
And no, 10nm isn’t good enough. Intel spent much of the last half decade trying to pretend it was, but now they’re getting their lunch eaten by everyone else.
