I went back to check the numbers, what I have is:
I am not sure if SMIC N+2 density was ever released or calculated?

I think this characterization by TechInsights is off. The author provided me some key details. I posted only a rough version on X...

Great response -- and very interesting re: materials. That sounds like a supply chain weakspot, at least when you did the analysis...

Other than HBM they are similar. but the Chip designs are different so its a wafer start issue (Assume cycle time from start to package...

Yeah, I remembered the gate pitch had been "abnormally" large, but actually it's just that SMIC density < Samsung density < TSMC density...

N+2 is 93 mtr.
It has 63nm gate pitch and 252nm cell height which revealed by Techinsight.
118 mtr mean ~27% density improve, very huge.

Ok, I guess 118mtr 😆
Maybe gate pitch 57, cell height 220?
