- smithza 6y agoThis is very cool. The explanation of how yield/defects was interesting: they can bypass cores with defects due to channeling and account for the statistical defects, allowing them to have a 100% yield.
- m463 6y agoThis is how pretty much all large chips are designed nowadays. The perfect chips are expensive higher-capacity / faster chips, the less perfect chips are cheaper lower capacity and/or slower.
- XCSme 6y agoI laughed at the "arm+leg" official cost of the CPU. EDIT: Or GPU, or whatever it is.
