In case anyone, like myself, was wondering about the main differences of the two bridges, I found a decent article that breaks it down very simply.

22nm is just... Impressive. Incredible we can get that small, and the techniques they use to compensate for the light waves they use for the photo lithography being much larger than the features they produce is really awesome. On this topic, I once heard of researchers creating a working transistor out of only 7 atoms.

Quote: "The changes this time around are far less sweeping, with the processing die shrink from 32nm to 22nm being the biggest news."
Far less sweeping? That size change is incredible.
