Another great write from Andrei:

2 wide, better branchprediction & fetching
On same node and freq:
Aprox 10% better perf for normal use case scenarios
& > 20% better efficiency
Up to 25% size reduction vs. 72
We get a quadcore on 10nm including 2M L2 on aprox 5mm2. or
2 core 1M L2 on 28nm on aprox 6mm2
Wow. Cheap highend perf to the masses and better efficiency at the same time.
