I am happy to report that we have successfully taped out a 1024-core
Epiphany-V RISC processor chip at 16nm. The chip has 4.5 Billion
transistors, which is 36% more transistors than Appleâ??s latest 4 core
A10 processor at roughly the same die size
I am very impressed. Â I can recall, when I worked for Intel for a couple years starting 1980, that the typical linewidth was about 3 microns, or about a factor of 200 larger than 16 nm! Â Â I wonder how the lithography is done. Â Is it EUV? Â (extreme ultraviolet)
