By the way, why did clock frequency stop around 3-4 GHz? I assume that as transistors become smaller, their propagation delay decreases, as their power consumption, and it allows to use higher clock frequencies. Is there something else that I am missing?
- pishpash 4y agoPropagation delay doesn't decrease from one end of the chip to the other if you keep the same area in total.

- the_only_law 4y agoI believe mainframes have had CPUs operating around this for a while as well.
