Digital chips
You ask big questions and probably expect small and simple answers.
It's a huge subject and it's not simple.
10-nm or 14-nm, or whatever it is, is the size of a transistor on the chip. Going from one transistor dimension to a smaller dimension at least means that the chip could be smaller. Other than possibly requiring new fabrication equipment, nothing else has to change.
But good engineers will want to do more grandiose and better things with the new chip, so they will want to add to its complexity.
Any engineer who doesn't want to do that ought to be fired.
But are the engineers capable of doing better things and getting the products out in a timely manner? Will managers cooperate and assist their engineers? Are the managers even capable of doing that? For that matter, do all the managers show up to work?
