We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

7 nm process — The first volume production of a '7 nm' branded process is stated as TSMC's 256Mbit SRAM memory chips in 2016, but TSMC's 7 nm process (N7) entered risk production in 2016 and volume production in 2018, not 2016; the 256Mbit SRAM was a demonstration, not volum
7 nm process — The IRDS standard year is listed as 2021 (retrospective), but the IRDS does not assign a specific '7 nm' node year; the 7 nm node was defined in earlier ITRS roadmaps and is not a standard year in IRDS.
45 nm process — TSMC's 40 nm process entered risk production in 2008 but mass production began in 2009, not simply 'moved to' in 2008
45 nm process — Samsung's 40 nm process was developed and entered production in 2008, not 2006
180 nm process — The 180 nm process was not the first to use a gate length shorter than the 193 nm wavelength of contemporary lithography; the 250 nm process already used sub-wavelength lithography with 248 nm light.
180 nm process — The IBM team led by Bijan Davari fabricated a 180 nm dual-gate MOSFET in 1988 is a misattribution; the widely-known achievement was a 0.1 µm MOSFET demonstration, not a 180 nm dual-gate MOSFET in 1988.
Animal cafe — The claim that a Japanese tourist visiting Taiwan established the first animal café in Osaka in 2004 is unverified lore, not established canon.
Animal cafe — The claim that a reptile café opened in Cambodia in 2018 is not widely documented and unverified.
Bah-uân — The claim that the original wrapper used only sweet potato starch is contradicted by the entry's own ingredients list which includes corn starch and rice flour, creating an internal inconsistency.
Bah-uân — The statement that 'Changhua-style bah-uân is considered the standard and most widely imitated style' lacks authoritative support and is not a universally established factual canon.
Cheese tea — Hey Tea's first U.S. location opened in New York in December 2022, not December 2023, and by January 2025 it had fewer than 15 outlets in New York City.
Cheese tea — The New York Times article about cheese tea in San Francisco was published in 2019, not December 2018.
Fin field-effect transistor — The entry states 'In 2006, Korean researchers from KAIST and the National Nano Fab Center developed a 3 nm transistor based on gate-all-around FinFET technology.' This is misleading: the 3 nm transistor developed in 2006 was a gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire tr
High Bandwidth Memory — The entry states 'HBM4 followed in April 2025' and 'latest standard announced=HBM4 in April 2025', but as of the knowledge cutoff, HBM4 had not been standardized by JEDEC in April 2025; the JEDEC standard for HBM4 was not yet finalized at that time.
High Bandwidth Memory — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states 'In early 2026, DRAM prices experienced compounded increases, some exceeding 200%, due to AI-sector demand for HBM.' This is a future prediction presented as fact; as of the knowledge cutoff, such price increases in early 2026
