does anything prevents us from having enormous chips? like a core i50 the size of an a4 sheet?

Do you want to ignite atmosphere? Becasue that is how you ignite atmosphere.

Yes
Increasing the size of the die limits the clock rate because the electrons have to travel farther. It could be possible but then we would be back to having cpus in the mhz or khz range. Electrons only move so fast.

if it gets really hot then it's 2 birds one stone, if not more birds
passive cooling and heated floor? great.

besides restricted demand/applicability and all it's fringes, what else limits it?
>>55427142
well, shit. thanks for the response.
In short it generates a LOT more heat. The latency is also severely affected since physical distance actually slows down the CPU, which can only be solved by increasing clock rate which in turn makes even more heat
>inb4 muh electronic speed is near speed of light

Overall yield would be reduced . Meaning the chips would be ridiculously expensive . If you can make a small chip you can get a lot more of them from the same sized silicon wafer .
physics?

wrong. science it is.
