Been a while since I've posted a status update...
Anyway, Decided to upgrade my phone after 3 years (Mainly Samsung forced my hand as I was not getting updates anymore...).
Chose to give one of the Chinese brands a go - Xiaomi Mi 11T Pro 5G. I've actually been testing it for a few days now (close to a week actually) - although my courier decided to have a game of football with the box apparently... and its so much faster, however - and I know I'm going to sound like one of "those" people - I wish it had a headphone jack... Screen is great, but not as high res as the Samsung, and the haptic doesn't feel as good. Otherwise - its fantastic at the moment-

This is one of the reasons I will most likely never use an Android as my primary phone.
I am a type of person to upgrade my phone after like 5-6 years usually so it makes sense to use an iPhone for those insanely good update cycles.

TL;DR: I don't think this is the right way to see a CPU's architecture...
Well, I had an old C2D E6420 CPU laying around and thought - why not try and get the heat spreader off and look at the die as I was planning on making a key change from it...
Key word - Was...
I may or may not have - and by that - I did, split the die completely in half. Not a crack, on the face of it. No. A clean slide right through.
Now I know - either I need to be more careful if I do this again or Intel used a solder on this chip... (Pictures in Spoiler)
