- chrisseaton 6y agoWhy do you have to have less general purpose cores? If they're not powered up at the same time they're not competing for power or heat. They're competing for space but does that matter much when you're packaging chiplets?
- shmerl 6y agoBecause your space on the die is not infinite? More ASICs - less general purpose cores. Unless you expect die size to grow more and more.
- chrisseaton 6y agoDie size is limited but package size can get pretty large without causing problems can't it? It obviously doesn't need to be infinite.
