    The process "sizes" are 100% marketing. They don't correspond to any real sizes, they're just using it as a proxy for which generation of chips/processes they're using. Intel's transistors are of similar size to AMD's, even though AMD claims theirs are smaller. I'm not sure why Intel insists on advertising larger sizes still, but it's probably their slavish obsession with "Moore's Law," which they also invented as a marketing device.
