Thanks to JimmyG and macklin01 for fleshing out my explanation and filling in the gaps.
My pleasure; it's a fascinating topic! -- PaulHardwareJedi said:So .10 micron would be abour 1/1000th the width of a Human hair. That is small...

larva said:Although it was touched upon in an earlier post, it merits some addtional verbage to note that even if we where not decrease the operating voltage heat production on smaller processes is less simply due to the now shorter paths in the circuits of our cpu. When we pass a current through a conductor, heat is generated by the electrical resistance of the conductor. The other factor is the length of the conductor, and ours get shorter on the newer and smaller fabrication processes.
