TLDR: “3nm” only means “the technology node after 5nm” and doesn’t relate to any physical feature size.

No doubt the advancements are significant, but “3nm” as a label is just deceptive.
Nothing in the node relates to that number, as far as I can tell, and the gate pitch, which used to be what that number meant, is in the realm of 40-45nm.
