Choosing between 28nm, 40nm, and 65nm is one of the most common — and most underestimated — decisions in ASIC development.
These nodes dominate industrial, automotive, consumer, and IoT ASICs, yet teams often choose based on habit or outdated assumptions. In reality, the differences between 28nm, 40nm, and 65nm
Choosing a 22nm process node is not just a scaling decision — it is a strategic choice that affects power consumption, cost structure, ecosystem access, and long-term product risk.
For many ASIC and SoC teams, 22nm sits at the crossroads between mature nodes (28nm/40nm) and more advanced, higher-risk technologies.
