It took a matter of months for Bitcoin mining to go from 110nm to 28nm, because bitcoin mining technology wasn't "caught up" with common processing densities.
Now that we are at 28nm, expect things to slow down quite a bit,
Look... Intel won't even have 10nm until 2018.

The difference between 110nm to 28nm is insane... but as we decrease below 28nm we really slow down.
110nm to 28nm is 4x difference. 14nm from 28nm is only half... You can't expect a linear drop all the way down to 1nm
If you expect the rate of this technology to stay the same, you're insane.

Is icedrill going to be an end customer of those chips too? Hashfast must be making a crazy markup.. I'm guessing 200%? No wonder theres a "mining protection" plan, the pricing is absurd.
