>So now, reading this news about processors and stacking, I wonder about what inconveniences the end users are going to suffer with processors built under these techniques. Whether in computational reliability, vulnerabilities and so on.
Denser logic hasn't got the same issues as dense non-volatile storage as logic doesn't need to have any persistence.
It's what the likes of Micron and Samsung are good at fixing and working around when they launch and scale their Xnm processes for a specific storage technology, and what makes them better than competitors.
Intel, TSMC, GloFo, etc they all can buy the latest gen EUV machines from ASML if they want, but yet TSMC is always one node ahead on logic and Micron and Samsung win at storage, because they're good at ironing out the kinks and challenges that come from shrinking down those specific designs closer and closer to sub-nm level while the others can not (so easily).
If fabbing cutting edge silicone was as easy as just having the latest gen ASML machines, then ASML would just hoard the cutting edge machines for themselves and become vertically integrated in fabbing their own cutting chips as a side hustle before everyone else.
