That really is a great article, I think one of the ways Intel is going to work around this is multi process chips... so things that aren't as performance intensive are going to be made on older faster cheaper processes, or more optimized processes. So they can make IO optimized drivers for high speed ram interfaces, logic optimized areas for the CPU, and low cost peripheral areas. It is certainly interesting to see companies trying to cope with the limits they are running up against. As well as they can conentrate on making only one sub unit faster per generation... rather than thier tick - tock tock they have been doing. They could do some iteration on aspects of the design without having to worry about parts that won't change getting broken by moving to a new process etc.. .

I've seen some ideas about die stacking of CPU and GPU components instead of chips ram as is done with HBM. So, perhaps they would make tiny very high yeild dies, but stack a bunch of them and run them rather slowly for a higher aggregate speed so they don't fry themselves with heat.

As an aside I've actually seen Daifuku (Wynright is the specific branch I've worked with) equipment installed in several locations where I have been out on an on site setup trip for the equipment my employer makes... very cool cranes (I've seen them shuffling shoe boxes and potato chips) though apparently they shuffle computer chips around as well!

nnpost

NNPOST(1)						      General Commands Manual							 NNPOST(1)

NAME

       nnpost - post news articles (nn)

SYNOPSIS

       nnpost [ -dksy string ] [ -f file ] [ -p ] [ group... ]

DESCRIPTION

       nnpost is used to post new articles using nn's normal interface, but without entering nn in reading mode.

       When started, it reads the init file and then directly executes nn's :post command.

       It will prompt for a (comma-separated) list of news groups, the article subject, a list of keywords, a summary, and the distribution of the
       article.  Each of these prompts can also be supplied via command line options or arguments as described below.

       When prompted for the "Newsgroup:", entering a ? as the first key will cause nnpost to list all the known news groups and their purpose (if
       this  information is available).  You can also enter / followed by a word or regular expression which will cause nnpost to produce a (much)
       shorter listing only containing the groups whose name and/or purpose description matches  the  regular  expression.   When  paging  through
       either list, you can enter q to quit the listing.

       If  a  source  file  is	specified with -f it will be used as the initial article body.	If the -p option is also specified, the article is
       posted directly without editing.

       nnpost can be used to do unattended postings if sufficient arguments are provided on the command line to build the header and the  body	of
       the  article.   The  required  arguments  are:  one or more newsgroups, a subject (-s), a source file (-f), a distribution (-d), and the -p
       option.	Other fields which are not specified (e.g. keywords) will not be included in the header.  The contents of the news-header variable
       in the init file will be included in the header.

OPTIONS

       -d distribution
	      Use the specified distribution for the article.

       -k "keywords"
	      Associate the specified keywords with the article.

       -s "subject"
	      Use the specified subject for the new article.

       -y "summary"
	      Include the given summary in the article header.

       -f file
	      Read the article body from the specified file.

       -p     Post the article specified with -f without editing.

FILES

       ~/.nn/init   The control variables for nnpost.
