What is meant by nm technology?
Last response: in CPUs
Hi Everybody.
First of all, this is not a homework. I am just asking this out of Curiosity. (I am clarifying this because my previous 2 question got an allegation of Homework)
Today I was checking my PC info via speccy and I saw in CPU section, there is written:
Technology: 45nm
What the HECK is 45 nm technology.
I tried to research on google and found much much complicated definitions than what I can understand.
If anyone could just simplify it and explain it to me, then it will be very helpful.
Thanks for reading this question,
Himansh

More about : meant technology
The lower the nm the more better people like intel can improve performance on as power consunption drops on idle and full load for same performance. Also companies like intel use this new nm to improve performance and add features architecture wise.
Anyway 22nm is the best yet by intel. Back in the olden days cpu's were like 350nm hence why computers were so slow back a couple of decades ago as they were huge so you could only get so little performance out of power consumption back then to now.
The smaller the nm, the more transistors meaning you can get big performance.
