More transistors, lower power, and higher performance. That's why semiconductor companies shrink their chips. So far Intel is getting great results out of 45nm with High-K and Metal Gates, and I'm guessing at 32nm or 22nm we'll see tri-gate transistors, or something similar that allows even further reductions and benefits. Hell no. It's all a big mistake. They spend all that R&D and CapEx money because it never occurred to them to just not do it, and they have no idea why they are doing it. A few minutes with Hector will straighten them out.
