As we saw with 7nm chips making them smaller doesn't necessarily mean better efficiency. Right now most 10nm chips are way more efficient than any 7nm out there.  Also with smaller chips you run into issues like overheating, too many propagation errors which end up making them less efficient and slower.
I think with 7nm we are already pushing the limits of silicon chips.
