Yes, I was going to say I thought this had been looked at with the transputer. I also recall Clive Sinclair suggesting this approach in the late 80s (can't recall if that was somehow related to the transputer or was completely separate). I believe his idea was that the faulty CPUs that naturally exist due to wafer defects would be cut off from the main group (I could have misremembered but I think it may have been via some kind of self test process).

It looks like they were close to launching a product! https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?id=qlwiki:sinclair_wafer_ram_expansion https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?id=qlwiki:sinclair_waf... RAM, not CPU, but IIRC he was talking about CPUs too. and later there was a prototype storage product:: https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/3043/Anamartic-Wafer-Scale-160MB-Solid-State-Disk/ https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/3043/Anamartic-Wafer...
