  Anyone know (or can guess) why they mirrored the cpu's on the right edge?

    It has to do with how the cores connect to the rings, which probably run over the L3s. Each core "faces" one of the L3 slices and it looks like each L3 slice has a ring stop in the middle.

    Perhaps its a heat issue, so they place the cores as far from each other as possible?
