40 nm difference in distance for electrons to travel (an odd sort of historical example is the first supercomputer CRAY was built like the cooling tower of a nuclear power plant so that the wires were all of equal length and some of the timing was done by lengthening some of the wires - uh...) where was I, oh - yeah, that is almost 33% decrease in distance for signals to travel. If you are a gamer or into graphics/video, that would make a difference.

There is also a significant difference in power consumption and heat dissapation.
