In simpler terms, the SRAM density improved by 2.9% (according to ChatGPT). Which is better than it sounds, because SRAM had reached a wall, in terms of density gains, and, chips can be dominated by SRAM in terms of surface area, so this can mean a lot more room for logic, even though that is also getting considerably denser.

There's some hope of smaller SRAM in the future - https://raaam-tech.com/technology/ is a three-transistor SRAM.

This is exactly why Cerebras wafer chips aren’t even on N3. They stayed on N5. It is also why they are now stacking HBM onto the chip.
