Mind the Dark Silicon Fraction. Some fraction of your transistors MUST go unused on average or you melt the silicon. This was already a thing in the 20nm days

Mind the Dark Silicon Fraction.
Some fraction of your transistors MUST go unused on average or you melt the silicon. This was already a thing in the 20nm days and I'm sure it has only gotten worse. 100% TDP utilization might correspond to 60% device utilization.
