Title: As we move to further process nodes, I presume we have more surface area to put cores in. About a decade ago, people used to say we&#x27;d get CPUs that have the same clockspeeds but have a lot more cores. When I look at Skylake and Kabylake (rumors), I don&#x27;t see the number of cores increasing (we seem to be at 2 for laptops and 4 for desktops). I know there are some SKUs like the 6850 with more, and of course, there arr Xeon chips. But .. why are desktop processors not getting beefier over the last 5-10 years?
