Nodelets are enhanced versions of mature technology nodes that either improve the power or performance while introducing very minor or no density improvement. Since nodelets rely on existing and proven technologies, those process optimizations do not negatively impact yield and other reliability aspects of the process.
Overview
Nodelets are a more simplified version of a half node where either little or no shrink takes place and the emphasis shifts to process optimizations such as improving the Ron. An example of nodelets include 12 nm, 11 nm, and 8 nm.
