TSMC Plans to Put a Trillion Transistors on a Single Package by 2030

• ls612 2y ago
  For context: A 4090 has 76 billion transistors, and the B200 superchip that Nvidia announced has around 200 billion transistors, on an absolutely enormous package of 2 dies glued together ala the M2 Ultra. So this would suggest a minimum density increase of 5 times in the next 6 years. Moore's Law isn't dead yet folks.

    "Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated". It feels like people have been harking the death of Moore's law for decades, I think we still got at least another decade to go just based on the technology we have today.

    It is for cost and power density.

      Power Density seems to be scaling 1:1 for N5/4 to N3, with a 50% increase in transistors per mm^2 and a 33% reduction in power at the same performance (which when scaling horizontally means 50% more performance at the same power). Cost is another question, though it is still falling year over year in $/Mtr.
