F everything. We’re doing 4 trillion…transistors.

Big if true.

I know those guys.

Whoa... they're growing square boules!

they got the idea from those weird japanese square watermelons.

At 8.5" on a side, that would almost fit into a Mac Mini box. A power supply and cooling would be a challenge.

Ian Cutres (spelling?) has made a few videos on water scale at this point. It’s wild stuff.

It’s a wafer scale device; unsure why it’s not circular. I forget how many kWs it uses, but it’s a lot. Absolutely brilliant, though. Someday I’ll make one in my basement

(on a 2” wafer)

i imagine they have a lot of failures.

I know a bunch of folks who work/worked there. A very strong AMD connection at one point, and Fred was a consultant. He asked me to chat with them about something at one point. As I walked around I kept running into former AMD colleagues, including some from the K6 days who didn’t stick around for Opteron.

I’m sure that

• They are priced appropriately
• There’s plenty of redundancy on the wafer that up to half of the modules could be dead and the thing will still work.

IIRC from reading articles about it, and this is not really a big surprise, a lot of the challenges for that wafer-scale device involved packaging, power delivery, and cooling.
