What's the point of doing a shrink, but keeping the die size the same? Power efficiency, using a new fab?

- monocasa 6y agoThe choice between better power efficiency, better clock rates, or some combination of the two. Additionally, in the Zen+ case, it was a shrink from TSMC 14nm to TSMC 12nm, which you'd be excused for thinking about as TSMC 14nm+++++. Not a lot of design rules changed.
