A comment on Intel's Process Roadmap to 2025: with 4nm, 3nm, 20A and 18A?.

20 ampere? That's a lot of current for a microprocessor.

It’s actually quite little. Most modern CPUs run at ~1V, which means 20A ~ 20W CPU. Ultrabooks are able to pull off 45W, so double of that.

You joke, but CPUs can draw hundreds of amps.

1 angstrom = 0.1 nm

10 A = 1 nm
