HEXUS has previously reported on the development of the Cerebras wafer scale engine – the world's largest computer chip at 462cm 2, which is the square size limit for a 300mm wafer. The chip, slightly ...

Modern CPU transistor counts are enormous -- AMD announced earlier this month that a full implementation of its 7nm Epyc "Rome" CPU weighs in at 32 billion transistors. To this, Cerebras Technology ...

A few years ago, we started to see researchers discussing an old manufacturing idea first explored in the 1980s: Wafer-scale processing. The idea of WSP is straightforward: Instead of dicing a wafer ...

At Intel's Innovation event, we snapped a picture of a curious wafer that the company had on display. It was labeled as "Raptor Lake-S," but upon even a cursory examination, it became obvious that it ...

The spot price of 6-, 8-, and 12-inch silicon wafers has fallen for the first time in three years. Taiwanese business journal UDN notes that this is the first dip in wafer pricing since the start of ...

We managed to get some additional details and pictures of this 80-core CPU beast. We had a chance to see and picture the wafer and you can clearly see that this CPU is going to be huge, but since its ...

Last year at the Hot Chips Symposium, Cerebras caused quite a stir by taking the wraps off the "world's largest computer chip". The so called Wafer Scale Engine (WSE) packed 400,000 cores in its ...

The 2 nanometer chip fabrication technology expected in the iPhone 18 A20 processor is expected to cost 50% more to manufacture, but given history Apple is not likely to pass on the increase to users.

BERNIN, France — Silicon-On-Insulator Technologies (Soitec) here today announced a multi-million dollar order for 200-mm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers from Advanced Micro Devices Inc., which plans ...

In brief: The semiconductor industry can't keep up with demand for advanced chips even as foundries have continued to optimize their output. Now even that's off the table, so companies like TSMC are ...
