Well, my conclusion after many years, echoed by one of the themes of <i>Nature</i> article including the lock step nature of node moves, is that Moore&#x27;s Law is more one of economics than anything else.  So I focus on that original definition of it, it seems to be the essence of it and its implications.<p>Now, if you&#x27;re in the weeds of designing a chip or node, yeah, things like feature size are paramount, but why are you going to the trouble of moving to a new node in the first place, especially with the end of Dennard scaling a decade+ ago?  Power consumption could be an alternative to the raw economics, or maybe taking up less space in the smaller mobile form factors.  Intel&#x27;s leading with mobile chips for <i>some</i> reason.
