How exactly is the size of the computer reduced ?

Is it based on nanotechnology ?

Is picotechnology being applied on computers ?

Is heat really a problem ? If the computer is that small, I wonder how much heat it can produce, something bigger should logically produce more heat, isn't it ?

That is only the time difference isn't it ? Tiny container will heat up faster but given a sufficient time, heat emitted by big candles will surpass small candles when thermal equilibrium is achieved.

What really matters is how the chips are constructed and designed to work. A big chip that is designed to run maybe 10000 tasks should be hotter than one small chip which is just running a single process. Of course, a chip in a small computer is going to run more processes than the bigger computer since you can only have limited chips on a small board of a small computer ... maybe this is the answer to my question

Just my rough guess
