They are still behind TSMC who are already researching 1nm ...

For silicon, 1nm is about six atomic layers[*]. My mind boggles.

[*] The silicon-silicon single bond is about 0.23nm; however, in the diamond-like crystal structure of silicon, the layers are spaced on average by 2/3-rd of the bond length.
