We’re long past the days of monolithic chip designs. Now it’s all about providing a modular solution by carefully weaving core complexes together, and having different transistor sizes across different components. That way you create a processor that not only provides impressive performance, but is also affordable and simple to mass-produce.
One pin, two pins, three pins, four pins... this’ll take a while!
