This table was created with the intent to make it easy for people to find facts about CPUs.
The column "Drawn Width/nm" refers to the "process technology", as in how small they are building their CPUs now.
W/cm² describes how much wattage the CPU is dissipating through 1 cm² of die area. The higher that number goes, the harder it takes the heat sink to remove that heat - at reasonable speed.
Tr.density is "transistor density" measured in transistors per mm² die area. But remember that L2 cache is generally packed a lot more dense than the CPU core logic. Especially Intel pack their L2 caches very dense.
