Without defending the article, it is however the case that simply scaling a chip size has nontrivial problems. For example, Will the piece of silicon warp or shatter if one side happens to get hotter than the other?

Nevertheless, it might be interesting to examine Cerebras' patents to see if anything of significance relating to WSI is there.
