Why can't we just have bigger dies? Same density, more transistors. If yields are too low, connect smaller dies somehow.

- clarry 7y agoIf you stop scaling node size down and start scaling die size up, the result will be higher prices and power consumption. If you don't mind, go buy a Threadripper or EPYC. Might consider getting multiple sockets while at it. Caveat: won't fit in your pocket. I'm sure there'll be additional interconnect issues to worry about as the physical cluster of dies gets larger and larger.
