They should count up by some benchmark. If x/mm^2 doesn't capture the improvement anymore, and they aren't shrinking things much anymore, benchmark some common output.
It's not necessarily about transistors/mm^2, there is also power consumption and clock frequency. Back in the mid-2000's clock frequencies stopped just under 4GHz and then went down for a few years before going back up to way past 4GHz in the last ten years or so.
Yup that's exactly what I'm talking about. They need a benchmark for what it can do, not the size of a part or a made up size for marketing. Or just disconnect the specs from the marketing name entirely.
