    The amount of physical and engineering issues required to do this is insane. Veritasium just published a documentary about ASML's chip fabs: https://youtu.be/MiUHjLxm3V0

    Maybe the marketing language is technically deficient but the result of the technology speaks for itself; devices keep getting faster AND more power efficient.

    Meanwhile it's so damn hard to do that there's only one company making the machines that can pull it off and only one company that can successfully execute the process.

    This stuff is ultra pimpin no matter what the marketing department calls it.
