- ls612 3y agoOh the reason they don’t make dies that big is the probably of a defect balloons and your yields would be shit.
- mikepurvis 3y agoApple handles that in part by fusing off the broken subcomponents of the huge die, though, which is how they end up with stuff like a 7-core GPU.
- Detrytus 3y agoEvery chip manufacturer does that, that's how they come up with cheap, low end parts. They just try to keep number of cores an even number, so the trick is less obvious.
