one thing to appreciate here is that even if your overall peak package power budget stays the same due to more efficient cores on smaller die process nodes, the climbing core count and other features (e.g. 3D vcache) can still result in signfiicant power delivery challenges that require clever engineering, and that's 99% of the problem. throwing 1.5kW into a CPU package is easy at this point, but meeting dynamic load demands on these huge packages is *far* harder.
