Re: What is the typical gate number of asic takes 1 mm2 area

Based on past experience, at 130nm, you should be able to get about 120k usable gates. At 180nm, you should be able to get about 75k usable. You can factor the older technologies from there. You'll never get the gate counts the foundries/IP vendors publish - those are raw area's at best, and off those, you'll only do 50-70% utilization.
