Speed

 

The power saving achieved using 3D technology can allow the 3D device to run at a faster rate of transitions per second (frequency) with no increase in power consumption. In addition, the reduction in parasitics (capacitances and inductances), size and noise of a 3D device, allow for higher transitions per second which would increase the overall system performance.
