It's not really 3nm, it's closer to 8, but it's still impressive.

Yes, I imagine real 3nm is nearly impossible, but we're inching towards it. Still, that's very nearly the limit for conventional digital ICs.

It's possible, but the leakage gets ridiculous, all kinds of things have to change, we aren't near there yet.

I'm honestly amazed we got as far as we did.
