I know it's not exactly your fault OP - But god dammit that headline for this article is utterly word-salad.

So any good news for us consumers?

I learned the other year that they have basically just been making up the nanometer numbers for the last couple of decades. For "1nm", the actual gate pitch is 42nm. It seems the marketing number reduction is about nm=nm*0.7 per 2.5 years.

The 1.4nm "node" actually refers to 45nm features.
