Here are comparable numbers for TSMC N5:
metric | Intel 4 | TSMC N5 |
---|
fin pitch (nm) | 30 | 30 |
contacted poly pitch (nm) | 50 | 48 |
HD cell height (fins) | 6 | 6 |
HP cell height (fins) | 8 | 7.5 |
HD density (MTr/mm²) | 164.4 | 171.3 |
HP density (MTr/mm²) | 123.3 | 137.0 |
HD SRAM Cell (µm²) | 0.0240 | 0.0210 |
HC SRAM Cell (µm²) | 0.0300 | 0.0250 |
There's no winning for Intel here. Not to mention that TSMC also has N4 with a 6% optical shrink and plenty of performance improvements this year. Furthermore, Intel's MTL CPU tile is not even remotely comparable to some of the stuff that has already shipped on N5, and will potentially be sharing an interposer with TSMC N3/4/5P tiles!
