Talk:Die shrink

Half-node shrinks articles merge

The 150nm, 110nm, 80nm, 55nm, 40nm, 28nm, 20nm half-nodes are half-shrinks of the respectively 180nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 45nm, 32nm, 22nm semiconductor manufacturing nodes. Currently a few of those (110nm, 55nm, 40nm, 28nm) have a 1 sentence articles where the same sentence is copy-pasted in all articles (just the 110nm/130nm/90nm numbers changed). I propose that we redirect these articles to here (and copy whatever see also/links content remains to the respective node article). Ianteraf (talk) 13:22, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

That works for me. Alternatively, you may choose to create a "Half-shrink" article, if it is sufficiently different. If you do choose to redirect, perhaps you should include half-shrink (bolded) in the lede, and a specifice Half-shrink section in the text. -Arch dude (talk) 02:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Quantify power savings

I would like to see quantification of power savings realized from die shrinks in the past. Notable ones would include "tick" cycles in Intel's releases. Full Decent (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Any refs for half-nodes

The bottom 2 : 16nm and 11nm, look wrong being larger than the full node. - Rod57 (talk) 01:32, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

The external links dont seem to add anything

Many are dead - the rest don't mention die shrinks - just fab capabilities and not worth including ? Delete the lot ? - Rod57 (talk) 02:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Shrink decisions are usually made by the customer, not the foundry

The article states that it is the foundry that decides whether a shrink will be a ful node or a half node. The contrary is true in my experience: the process node is a technical/economic decision for the group or company that requires the new die; this is the case regardless of whether the new die is a new product, a revision, or a shrink.

12 nm?

i wasn't really sure as to whether to include 12 nm per the nvidia volta architecture rumor and where it would fit, would it be a 2nd stopgap half-node following 14nm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.144.55.200 (talk) 00:13, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

edit: looks like i just found the answer to my question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.144.55.200 (talk) 00:43, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
