That's sort of orthogonal to what I'm saying.

And the M5 doesn't have 500B transistors. We're well into the beginning of the ossification. Hell, it arguably started ~2006 with the end of dennard scaling leaving us with Tomasulo OoO cores being the design that makes the most sense for application cores, just getting wider over time as we get more gates.



Eventually CPUs and GPUs converge: huge numbers of CPUs with wide vector units.
