| nanometer |
Abbreviation: nm. Nano meaning one billionth. Meter as in 100cm. This is the technology upon which the CPU is built. It makes a differance to the physical size of the wafer, and the time it takes for pulses to travel from one part of the chip to the next. A lower nanometer chip should, in theory, be cooler, faster, and more economic. However, intel proved that theory and reality are not always the same with their prescott core chip. However the 90nm AMD chips are better than the 130nm chips.

1/1,000,000,000 of a meter Also 10 Angstroms. The diameter of a fine human hair is approximately 50,000 nanometers. The diameter of an atom is approximately 0.2 - 0.4 nanometers.

| nanometer |
unit of measure, abbreviated nm. One billionth of a meter. The average diameter of a human hair is about 80,000 nm. The influenza A virus, in its spherical form, is about 120 nm, intermediate in size for a virus. Thus its size is between that of a 20 nm rhinovirus (a cold virus) and a 200 nm Ebola virus, as seen here. Note that this is more than 100 times smaller than a human red blood cell or ragwee pollen.
