Honest question: When is the node size "good enough"? The processing power is orders of magnitude greater than a few years ago, but when does it become overkill and gold plating for the consumer market? If we still have 4004 and Z80 in industrial work, what node size will be the "concorde" moment where we move in a different direction? Feed the algo, Good content

@doctorwilly The economy of scale aspect is similar to what happened in steel mills and petroleum refineries. They are built or grow to a large size, but the returns of the next capacity increase are not worth it.

@oohhboy-funhouse Programmers find way to consume the processing power. Most features and functions go unused, if not ignored, by consumers.

@jimurrata6785 Agree with the power argument. The question becomes, where is the cross over (in cost) between a slightly larger battery versus a more power efficient processor? The next step after Extreme UV will cost billions. A few more mAh will cost millions Respectfully
