There is such standard measure but it is the number of transistors for a square millimeter[1].

That is not a great measurement. Transistors can be of different types, each with different value in terms of making products work. Other things matter too: metal, pads, die separation saw cuts, e-fuses, diodes, resistors, and capacitors. Nobody cares about transistors that can't be hooked up to anything.
