Why hasn't Intel or AMD made a single core cpu with a massive

>>56492549
Because this isn't 1995 and there are often more than 1 program running at any given time.

>>56492952
Hence why the processor will have more than one thread.

Also are you invoking
Implying that a single stronger core will perform worse than more, weaker, cores?

>>56492549
Because they can't.
The problem isn't how wide you can make a core, its how effectively and quickly you can deliver instructions to the executing logic. If intel could make massively higher IPC cores without dramatically sacrificing frequency they would.

>>56493009
Yes it will. Much worse.

>>56493106
lol no

>>56493106
Are you retarded?

The frontend can't feed the cores fast enough, that's the biggest problem with current IPC limitations on x86.

For an analogy, think of a single white guy with food trying to feed a bunch of starving African children with his hands.
And you can't increase the number of white guys without making them overheat.

a higher clock rate requires a higher voltage which results in quadratic growth of power consumption
With more cores you can have more total processing power and still the same voltage reducing energy consumption in the process.
