natekupp··on Is Moore's Party Over?
Agreed, but we should note that the fundamental problem is not transistor density or quantum physics, but heat dissipation. Going 3D makes smaller process nodes less important, but efficiently removing heat from a die stack is a real challenge. Sandwich a 130W TDP processor die between two other similar die and the heat dissipated per cm^2 is tremendous.
natekupp··on What tool would *you* use to solve this?
You could probably get away with just using a 2-sample t-test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_t-test#Equal_sample_si...), no? No sense using a non-parametric sledgehammer unless absolutely necessary :).

Actually, just looking at the variance of the columns tells the same story as you've discovered above:

> var(data) A B C D E F 117.19610 20.49239 33.13114 90.62195 115.39044 27.34298

A, D, E are in the same group, B, C, F are in the same group.
