We really need to get to a point where the systems support the users, rather than users supporting the systems.

Variability increases as geometries shrink. Leakage power varies five to 10 times. Frequency varies about 30 percent.

We need to design our systems to fit within this set of thermal envelopes.

We are really focused on minimizing energy per instruction. That's the new mantra.

It's kind of like how many angels can you fit on the head of a pin?

Now we're looking at power in the rest of the platform. The CPU is in relatively good shape.
