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.
AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, states that Moore's Law is not dead but has slowed down and things need to be done differently to overcome the performance, efficiency, and cost challenges. AMD has been the pioneer of advancing 3D packaging and chiplet technology with its first HBM designs back in 2015, chiplet processors in 2017, and also the first 3D packaging on a chip with its 3D V-Cache design in 2022. AMD is already working with 3nm as of right now and that they are also looking at 2nm and beyond that.
An AMD engineer's LinkedIn profile has revealed details about the company's upcoming Zen 6 CPUs, including their core codename and process node. The post revealed that Zen 6 would come from the 2nm process node, and its cores are codenamed Morpheus. AMD has already revealed that Zen 5 will use the 4nm/3nm process nodes and expects to launch its next architecture in 2024.
