What this part means

the pitch.

Its job in the formula

p is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Treating the joint as a grid of independent connections at pitch p , each connection occupying roughly p2p^2 of area, gives a first-order areal bandwidth density

The passage around this formula

Shortening the electrical path this way has a direct, quantifiable effect on how much bandwidth a given joint area can carry. Treating the joint as a grid of independent connections at pitch p , each connection occupying roughly p2p^2 of area, gives a first-order areal bandwidth density
