IDK that I'd count on node shrinks to provide anywhere near the performance/power saving bumps that it used to. We are pretty close to the point were smaller nodes will mean more power consumption with the same design merely due to the fact that smaller nodes mean more leakage due to electron tunneling.

This has been the story for years and we just keep solving the problems. Perhaps one day you’ll be right, but it won’t be N5 to N3.
