On: TSMC 2nm Process Disclosure – How Does It Measure ...

x86 and Arm don't "need" smaller nm either, but there is always a market in speeding up general purpose CPUs.

10x is cool but when that's still catching up it's not done.

There are already companies making huge, expensive, high-performance chips for x86 and ARM; chips which are operating at the limit of what's physically possible. There aren't chips which do that for RISC-V to my knowledge.

I don't see how that changes things. The end goal is the same. x86 and Arm are much further along, but that doesn't mean they "need" better lithography any more or less than RISC-V "needs" it.
