The power goes down as the size goes down this is a good thing for how much it consumes to perform the same action. It is like a shorter path to have to walk you get there faster.

An article was helpful. Thank you very much.
For mining of BTC (but not limited to), it is also necessary to fully consider that it will be difficult to miniaturize with version upgrading in the future. That place is difficult.

In the end chipmakers will dominate the world :p

They already do that's for sure...we can't do anything without them...
