I frequently forget that the 2 nm naming has nothing to do with the physical size anymore. I hate that naming system.

From Wikipedia: Node name Gate pitch Metal pitch Year 5 nm 51 nm 30 nm 2020 3 nm 48 nm 24 nm 2022 2 nm 45 nm 20 nm 2025 1 nm 40 nm 16 nm 2027



I'm no expert but I think it's more related to the resolution of the photolithography process.
