The socket is the motherboard, Part 2 — Intel archrival (and Nvidia’s BFF) plans to build giant chips that could use kilowatts of power but they won’t be as big as Cerebras trillion transistor behemoth

by

A few weeks ago, we wrote how Eliyan’s NuLink PHY could do away with silicon interposers and integrate everything into an single, elegant package. How, essentially, the socket could become the motherboard. At the recent 30th annual North America Technology Symposium, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) revealed plans to construct a version of its … Read more
