Musk Urges Atom-Width Naming for Chips, Challenging IBM's 0.7nm Label
TL;DR
Elon Musk criticized IBM’s 0.7‑nm branding as misleading and argued process names should reflect the number of atoms across the smallest feature, not a nominal size; IBM counters that 7 angstroms denotes a generation and describes nanosheet/nanostacking and wafer bonding tech, with the story also noting past renamings like Intel’s and the broader industry context around TSMC, AMD, NVIDIA, and Apple.
