How does data get sent to over a billion transistors in a clock cycle over only 1151 pins? iirc a Skylake/Kabylake i7 has 1.7 billion transistors, that means each pin has to send/receive signals for 1.4 million transistors.

I assume you have nothing better to do.

Plenty of spice.

You give instructions to the CPU and get a result.
It does the calculations based on the instructions not based on constant input from the pins.

Not every transistor is being used every cycle. Not even close. Also, a good number of the transistors are dedicated to internal logic and routing that is completely invisible from outside the CPU. Finally, 1151 pins is a lot more than it sounds like. That's 2^1151 possible combinations. For reference, there are estimated to be about 2^266 atoms in the known universe. Of course, only a fraction of that number of combinations are actually usable, but hopefully that gives you an idea of why seemingly so few pins are able to put so many transistors to use.

Half of those pins are probably Vcc and GND

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
