He receives a small portion of that but there's apparently enough independent creative design work delegated out to young engineers in just working on a small area of the design of a new chip, that it's not just a layout-jockey job where you're desperate to get away after two years.
I would ask how much longer they give up on the massive bandwidth interface s to the few other chips on the motherboard and just incorporate the memory and other logic on the CPU. What is still needed for I/O? I think the Et hernet could be done on the CPU along with all the USB interface functions leaving only the display and the various I/Os types for package I/Os. In o ther words, a PC on a chip.
But I know the answer to that one and it doesn't include an Intel CPU, it i s based on an ARM.

Back in the early '90s, I helped out with a Clark board (*) problem. It had large copper angle iron bus bars: +3 and -1.6 (?) volts at 8000 amps.
