very insightful.
i always "knew" all that, and even followed ken shirif(i probably recalled the name wrong) deep dive into older cpus... but i didn't actually know bining now was about entire cores! i assumed it was a couple extra paths and features. makes sense i guess but before those visuals i never thought much about it.
