Comment on Would it be possible to retool old transistors/electronics by filling in the increasingly larger gaps created by Moore's Law?

Hypothetically, it might be possible, but there aren’t practical gains to be had from it. Easier to fabricate a new chip.

The optimal design is unlikely to be a straightforward modification of an older chip.

Even if it were, modification would add more variables, where we’re constrained by yields today.

And our processes today aren’t designed for it.
