Reply to comment by now-here-be in TSMC approaching 1 nm with 2D materials breakthrough by maxtility

Easiest way to explain is this. I put 3.2k into my computer in 2014, right now my phone that I bought in 2020 has almost the same amount of processing my desktop has.

But instead of needing desktop power, my phone battery is now enough to power my phones processing.

This is all due to shrinkage
