Kinda noobie question, I'm still on board with SCAM SCAM SCAM but I don't follow processor dev for years, and I claim no EE,  I think I get the basics of tough miniaturization issue advances on these chips at a high level.  But gen purpose Intel CPU changes sockets about every fucking 15 minutes when they release a new chip\series\generation whatever.  Excluding I'm guessing slower signal travel, higher cost, higher power consumption, mo heat, etc, due to more transistors\etc are there other reasons why can't just release a slightly bigger chip with new socket?.  They are dinky ass chips already to this guy that hasn't been in a serious computer airlocked thumbprint lock room in 15 years. Paradigm shift near miracle in microcode advance is the only other thing I can guess, but I've looked at a bunch of crypto code that seems to my eye to have the slow computation in manual optimized assembler already and uses the on chip crypto code. If anybody can help me understand why those are general reasons or not for skepticism other than all the published documentation red flags on this miner it would help me understand the 'physics' comments much better.  Back in the day it was just cpu bound or i\o bound, and with many of the crypto functions on later Intel chips I have a hard time buying I\O bound for sure.  I get 'memory hard' on L3 cache with cryptonote and such very well, but with Bitcoin and Litecoin I just can't quite get why you folks more knowledgeable of ASIC and\or CPU chip architecture can see this as a big scam so easily.  Can somebody please explain the'why' basics of the believed impossibility to me a bit better?  I've tried reading hardcore EE stuff but don't know enough to parse it.

Giassyass in advance.
