Energy efficiency, high performance, low cost per IC: pick 2.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoUp until a process generation or three ago, costs were declining as efficiency and performance increased!
- nine_k 3y agoHigh absolute performance (Xeon / Epyc scale), maybe. High performance per watt, why not all three? Smaller transistors take less power to switch, so they likely can be run at a higher frequency without thermal issues. (Of course, a lot of other design considerations apply.)
- VMG 3y agoWhen I compare my phone with a PDP11 it seems obvious that I can pick all three and then some
