Process–architecture–optimization model
Process–architecture–optimization is a development model for central processing units (CPUs) that Intel adopted in 2016. Under this three-phase (three-year) model, every microprocessor die shrink is followed by a microarchitecture change and then by an optimization. It replaced the two-phase (two-year) tick–tock model that Intel adopted in 2006. The tick–tock model was no longer economically sustainable, according to Intel, because production of ever smaller dies becomes ever more costly.[1][2][3][4][5]

Notes
- Cannon Lake: only 1 CPU released, microarchitecture dumped 1.5 year later.
gollark: <@331320482047721472> HelloBoi
gollark: This would also explain the RAM access memory.
gollark: Hmm, if it was a while ago it might be Opteron, i.e. bad, so I can mock it for its badness.
gollark: Is malbolgelisp concurrency?
gollark: How do they *have* that? Why are the RAM and CPU so weirdly balanced like that?
