What is Intel's SuperFin? 10nm Evolved?

Intel's best intra-node enhancement to date.

This is what we should have gotten a while ago. Innovation from Intel.

What is crazy to me is the fact that that new layer is a few angstorms "thick", 10⁻¹⁰ m; that is one ten-billionth of a metre, 0.1 nanometres. A few of those? Man that's thin!

I honestly couldnt care if we were stuck on 10nm for 10 years, as long as the next gen cpus released provided a reasonable upgrade path.

At the end of the day, I dont mind how its made. I just want it to work, and be far superior to what I have while not igniting in flames from heat.

Those Hi-K caps sound like magic, crazy stuff. And the via resistance reduction also very cool. Sounds like they should be able to produce some parts that can clock pretty high
