  1. Smaller transistor= smaller impedance= faster switching.

  2. Utilizing parallelism is very very hard. But currently the bottleneck is the memory. It's possible to design a faster processor but feeding them with data could not keep up. So ten years from now most likely memory will be integrated in the CPU package. There are already CPU and GPU architectures that do this. It will become a lot more common in the future.

  3. It's not necessarily true. In fluid dynamics if you scale everything down the Reynolds number changes. So it needs to be proven that there is no similar factor happening in microelectronics.

  4. ​ @ralanham76 We are already taking advantage of quantum tunneling. The power wall is mostly a classical physics problem not a quantum physics problem.
