Saturn V,

Re: "The shrink will reduce the capacitance of the interconnect, but
will not speed up the transistor."

This capacitance reduction will also be very minimal ... The
lateral capacitance will go up due to closer spacing while the
vertical capacitance will go down due to reduced area. These will
almost "wash out" and thus will not impact performance significantly.

Make It So,
Yousef
