The Full Monte-cito (part 5.1)
Multicore
A New Strategy
Microarchitectural innovations can improve performance. Within the 32-bit Intel Architecture (IA-32), however, microarchitectural innovations, and other techniques that have been used in the past, in and of themselves are not enough to keep pace with Moore’s law of doubling processor power every 18 months.
It is for this reason that “a new strategy is needed” (p. 4).
