simple die

Extrusion profiles with holes are very difficult to produce because they can not be just produced by a simple die, so it should be practiced to reduce the number of holes as much as possible.

It can be small and manually operated and hold one simple die set, or be very large, CNC operated, with a multi-station turret and hold a much larger and complex die set.

The new use of a new process did not mean that the R12000 was a simple die shrink with a tweaked microarchitecture, the layout of the die was optimized to take advantage of the 0.25 um process.
