   The key question is which workloads will actually benefit from many low single-thread performance cores. While there are some where such a node coupled with a GPU compute cluster will probably be the useful but it seems like a vast majority

   A much bigger problem "holding up Moore's Law Progression" is the failure of Dennard scaling and the fact that voltage scaling is hitting the threshold voltage limit (where sub-threshold leakage current increases significantl

   As a CPU architect, I can confirm that all those except possibly 2) will not yield significant benefits. Prefetching hints will only be useful when the particular code fragment is highly memory-bound because most wide superscalar microarchi
