Alleged AMD Zen 5 Specs Leak: Twice the Cores, 15% Increased IPC Over Ryzen 7000

So we're soon at 3nm, when have we reached the limit of what's possible? An atom is 0.5nm?
Although the so-called process node is still named in nanometres, it hasn't represented the actual transistor size in quite a while.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device_fabrication#Feature_size
the number of nanometers used to name process nodes (see the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors) has become more of a marketing term that has no standardized relation with functional feature sizes or with transistor density (number of transistors per square millimeter).
Pretty interesting, thanks for that link
