I can't explain what the measurement specifically denotes because it confuses me as well

No, I know what a nanometer is (10^-9 meters). I meant that I didn't know exactly what it meant when used to talk about a CPU (Example: Brisbane is a 65nm CPU). Some other posters explained it earlier; that it was refering to the length of a transistor's gate.

fair enough, I didn't mean to condescend.
