No, it belongs to every fabrication process ever used and will ever be used.

There was a reason why Intel was slow to move Atom to a cutting edge lithography, why they used to release it's motherboard chipsets a lithography or two behind it's processors, it was costs and profit margins, it was simply cheaper to use the older lithography.

The reason why Intel was slow to move Atom for cutting edge lithography is cause they didn't want to compromise on higher margin parts but if they had some extra fab capacity then they would've without doubt moved Atom on to more cutting edge lithography instantly ...

The older technology, the cheaper it is mentality doesn't apply to chip manufacturing since newer process nodes have ALWAYS provided cost reduction aside from 28/22nm and below ...
