The term "65nm" refers to a semiconductor manufacturing process that produces transistors with a feature size of 65 nanometers. This technology is significant in the production of integrated circuits, allowing for more transistors to be packed into a smaller area, which enhances performance and reduces power consumption. This process is part of the ongoing trend in the electronics industry to create smaller and more efficient components, following earlier technologies like 90nm and 130nm. The development of 65nm technology has enabled advancements in various devices, including microprocessors and memory chips.
