Unlike marketing terms, "nm density" is actually useful measure.

It describes density measure where you can compare it to planar transistors from the 28-nanometer (28 nm) node around 2010 to 2011 and before. A "0.7 nm" node has equivalent transistor density as if we could have shrunk standard flat transistor node down to 0.7 nanometers.

Density is mass per volume so how are you comparing it to a planar transistor? Your units don't even match.
