Thank you! Is this concept the same as branch prediction? If yes, massive thanks - i was always curious how that works.
If no, could you cover that topic in the future please?
Oh and one other question that I had for years. You always dissect legacy processors. Do you think that a modern processor would be feasible to dissect?
Is it possible to take pictures at 3nm (for example) wide processes, or even to delayer them, since I guess the new stacked technologies will probably mean many layers.
Sorry for my basic questions, thank you for all the amazing work throughout the years!
