We have transistors in the nanometer scale, why couldn’t we create really tiny 8086s?

EDIT: thanks guys I just reinvented the GPU albeit crappier

    Because a 8086 is really fucking slow, and writing highly multi threaded code is way more difficult.

      Still in 5yo mode: why couldn’t you run the 8086s at an order of magnitude faster considering they would be much smaller?
