The 14nm processor size, characterized by a transistor density of around 37.5 million transistors per mm², has been a popular choice for various applications, especially in general computing and entry-level products. The 14nm technology advancements have allowed manufacturers like Intel to optimize their product range’s performance and energy efficiency, such as the Core i5 and i7 processors.
Although the 14nm process is more affordable and accessible than its smaller counterparts, it must recognize that it cannot deliver the same performance and energy efficiency level as 5nm, 7nm, or 10nm processors.
