I don’t think that’s true. Nm (logic gage size) has to do with transistor density. And it is one of several important factors in performance.

I think the average density coming out of a foundry is somewhere between 7 and 14. A foundry i visited in the Texas is pushing 12 nm. Intel and AMD do 7 and 5nm respectively.

2nm is nearing the physical limit. And will serve as a bottle neck in future design. It’s pretty neat. It’s only a few atoms wide.
