Reply to comment by r2k-in-the-vortex in TSMC starts volume production of 3nm chips by filosoful

Aaah that makes waaay more sense, thanks! So basically all the terminology bs we have in computer hardware goes down to component level... Marketing terms can be so annoying...

Just wait until you learn about camera sensors.

Reality is that customer buys a functionality and really only very superficially cares about how things are built or why they are built a certain way. That's how you get these sorts of pseudo specs that are really just marketing terms.

Unless using cameras is your job no one other than the engineers who make or services cameras/sensors/lenses needs to know this stuff....actually I doubt most people who operate cameras for a living know that 2/3, 1/2, 1/3 inch sensors get their classification based off of old imaging tunes.

It is pretty interesting though.
