That is absolutely insane.... I understand the doom and gloom about hitting a performance bottleneck because we're reaching the physical limits of transistor sized but damn! Seems like all the low-hanging fruit (transistor density and # of transistors) have been picked, and other parts of the CPU are now being optimized to catch up to the same level of optimization as the main execution cores
