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...

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.
