Chip design and manufacturing are rather complex fields. You'd be better position to take advantage from the advances that others are making. Again ML, sensors, edge computing, heterogeneous networks, swarm algorithms. What I expect in ten years is that IOT will take off but this time it will have to be invisible for the user. An AI solution will observe, train, and expect the needs of the user and will try to provide what is needed in just in time manner. This will happen in both private and public spaces, so preparing some privacy and anti-tracking techniques might prove useful.
