In principle, 6nm and 5nm belong to the same era or technical level of products, there is no generational difference in essence.

The development of chips has always followed the so-called Moore's Law, which, in a simple sense, is that every 18 months, the number of transistors in a chip will double, bringing a significant increase in performance to the overall chip. At present, if the number of transistors per unit wafer needs to be increased, it needs to reduce the thread width, but there is a misunderstanding here that if the thread width is not reduced enough, in fact, the increase in the number of transistors is very limited, therefore, the improvement of chip performance is also very limited. Therefore, blindly pursuing a small improvement in the process without paying attention to the number of transistors is a misleading or gimmick for the public in the business promotion.

The so-called 6nm and 5nm mentioned here are essentially the same level of technology, and whether there is a difference in performance has to be specific to the overall design of a specific observation period on a chip, rather than looking at the nuances of the process.
5nm or 6nm refers to the width of the transistor.
Under the same frequency, 5nm saves 30% energy than 6nm process under the same power consumption, 5nm performance is 15% higher than 6nm, and power consumption is directly reflected in the standby time of the mobile phone battery.
2, the process process is usually what we call the \"production process\" of the CPU, which refers to the precision of the integrated circuit in the production process of the CPU, that is, the higher the precision, the more advanced the production process. More electronic components can be made in the same material, and the finer the connection lines, the higher the fineness, and the less power the CPU consumes.
The difference is that the chip of the same size, 5nm can put 20% more transistors than 6nm, which is simply to increase the number of transistors to improve performance.
