Perhaps the art of CPU design is getting too complicated, heading beyond the point where human brains can conceive meaningful and cost effective designs. The next truly new architecture might be designed by AI, a super-computer that can run simulations of all possible materials, foundry methods, and architectures, until it finds a breakthrough design. Skynet approaches...
Nooo, automated design cannot replace humans. We have see this lesson played out with AMD's Bulldozer. Automating the tuning aspect of silicon does not pay dividends. And in AMD's case they found that automated design resulted in 20% larger and 20% slower designs as compared with human designs. When AMD moved to automated design which is more common in gpu design, it was at a time when their management were making seriously suspect moves. They were reducing their engineer force and replacing them with automated design. And the rest is history and we all know how AMD flatlined after that.
