Do you really know if your CPU is performing the same as the ones we review? We don’t know. But we know that if we want to increase our testing capacity, we need to PARALLELIZE. But that means we need nearly identical test benches. And trying to make that happen sent us down a far deeper rabbit hole than we could have anticipated.
