that was then. now, high-end chips are reaching 4,3,2 nm. power savings aren't that high anymore. what's the power saving going from 4 to 2nm?

+5-20% clockspeed at 5-25% lower voltages (which has been and continues to be the trend) add up quick from gen to gen, nevermind density or ipc gains.
We can’t really go lower on voltage anymore without a very significant change in the materials used. Silicon band gap yadda yadda.
