I’ve been thinking about building a rig for the new flight simulator but a few months ago I probably couldn’t name the parts of a pc. So my question is: why aren’t processors bigger? Surely they would be cheaper and more powerful if they were the size of a graphics card, especially in a pc where size of the machine doesn’t really matter. Maybe I’m just dumb but this has been bugging me for a while.</T></DIV> Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:57:35 GMT Anonymous 2020-07-20T17:57:35Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Installation-update/Why-aren-t-cpus-bigger/m-p/263188#M27426 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I’m new to the whole building a pc thing.

Power consumption and heat dissipation. Have you seen the size of Threadrippers?<BR /> <BR /> Anyway, this is not the place to be asking this type of question. Better off asking it over on the PCMR Reddit or some tech forum...<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Ling.
