The size of CPUs is limited by physical laws and manufacturing constraints, not just design choices.

Bigger results generate additional updrafts. 300w is typically a challenge for many users.
I keep insisting on eliminating everything else that could be improved. Just use a THICC fan cooler or an AIO.
Discover the next generation of chips at Cerebras with wafer packs containing 2.6 trillion transistors and up to 850,000 cores.
For users on their desktops, not those requiring intense processing capabilities.
Desktop model 8+8 i7 250 to 300w. Install four units on a quad socket board, now requiring thermal solutions between 1000 to 1200w for cooling. The difference between a desktop and a server or high-core CPU lies in frequency limits—excess heat restricts performance. Running 250 cores at around 1.8ghz isn't exciting enough for gamers or typical users, right? A lower core count of 8 to 16 threads with higher frequency is what boosts FPS.
It requires patience. Consider the number of cores available today compared to a decade prior... AMD can reach up to 64 cores.
