obviously not speaking for my employer here, but my understanding is
that you can't power up all the existing real-estate on modern silicon
and still meet power envelopes. the extra silicon isn't wasted: it
merely functions as a heat-sink when it's not being utilized. :)
are there any synthesizable (hardware description language) versions of
PDP or VAX available? seems like hybrid FPGA / SW emulation platforms
would be an interesting experimentation space.
