I was reminded of this picture: https://en.wikichip.org/w/images/f/f8/OPGA-1331_pinmap.svg

it's the pinout of an AM4 CPU. Note how many ground and voltage pins there are, and also how the CPU has USB pins and even SATA pins built-in.

it'll never not be funny to me that we still call these things CPUs even though it doesn't just contain the entire northbridge (memory controller), but also parts of the southbridge (USB, Sata), and even sometimes a GPU, as well as an entire ARM core dedicated to management and security processes.

A screenshot of the SVG mentioned in the post. It's a colorful pin map that shows every single pin on the underside of an AMD CPU. Around the middle there are many black and red pins for power, there are also many black pins spread throughout the pin map. there are clusters of other colors, which are named on the legend underneath the picture.
The legend reads as follows:
VDDCR_CPU, VDDCR_SOC, VDDIO_MEM_S3, VSS, Display Port, P_GFX, P_HUB, P_GPP (PCIe/M.2/SATA), USB HS, USB SS, Azalia HD Audio, LPC/UART/I2C/SPI/GPIO, Memory Channel A, Memory Channel B, Test/Debug, RSVD
