    whats the need to shrink transistor size to such extent?

    Im thinking for a few days why its not possible to make a CPU core very large compared to the current ones? I mean to say, what if we don't shrink transistors and keep adding them whatever thier size is and make a larger core? Shrinking transistors is causing alot of heat problem and CPU's...
