But seriously... Btc ASICs have jumped from 135nm and up to now 16nm in just a few years. Imagine...
This was actually my main point. ASICs developed fast when there was a big gap compared to general purpose IC:s. But now that ASICs have reached them I guess, we won't see that fast change any more.
And there is good reason for it there is a TON of profit if a big company does it right. Want to see one that does look at SP released last year profit's. They are one of few not private companies, so they have to release data.
As long as there is profit we will continue to see a jump in lower nm, or more optimized current gen. Hard to predict in a year even what gear will look like, they huge jumps in efficiency. And this will only continue as long as it's highly profitable or these big companies. What will be interesting is if a lot of hash keeps getting added then, having market could change.
