Consider the data-center SoC: On average, it's consuming 200 W to provide its transistors with about 1 to 2 volts, which means the chip is drawing 100 to 200 amperes of current from the voltage regulators that supply it. So, the industry is faced with the twin problems of higher resistance in interconnects and less room for them on the chip.
