      It’s been dead for a decade, 1.6 nm doesn’t refer to the size of any elements on the chip or the number of transistors, it’s just the name of the next node.

        Moore’s Law makes no mention of transistor size, only of transistor count. You can say it’s been dead for over a decade if you define a decade as 4 years. Anyways, it is useless since transistor count is proportional to die area and doesn’t really define to how good a chip is.
