3nm doesn’t mean the transistor is 3nm, it’s just a marketing naming system at this point. The actual transistor is about 20-30nm or so.

Thanks for the comment. I looked more into this and it seems like not only are we in the era of diminished returns for computational abilities, costs have also now started matching the increased compute. i.e 2x performance leads to 2x cost. Moore's law has already run it's course and we're living in a new era of compute. We may get increased performance, but it will always be more expensive.
