Re: 5nm gate lengths is not a realistic number. Sorry wanna_bmw, that was a typo. Those were 50nm gates - .05 microns. Apologies. And note that (as stated) they were experimental parts from the submicron development FAB. I would guess that that's the limit of the process that's going into production at this time (or at least it was the limit when they were first experimenting with 193nm steppers in 1999). A production part would have to leave some margin compared to a development test, but they've also had time to improve the process, so I'd expect that AMD is looking at some gates around that size for the parts they're making wafer starts for now that will appear end of this quarter or early next quarter.
