Video by Linus explaining the reasons behind not developing larger CPUs.
I saw the video where Linus mentioned that increasing the CPU size could cause complications such as reduced clock speeds and other challenges. Yet Alder Lake represents a bigger chip compared to earlier models, outperforming AMD's latest designs. What shifted is likely how these changes are implemented or optimized.
Alder Lake isn't larger in size. The overall package is bigger, though the CPU die itself remains unchanged. This comparison comes from a der8auer video. Updated on November 15, 2021 by Spotty, who originally labeled the image incorrectly.
