- airstrike 2y agoIn his interview to Bloomberg Technology after the latest earnings call, Jensen Huang said Blackwell's reported struggles were an yield issue, not a design issue. From TFA, it sounds like the yield issue is caused by the design, so maybe that was a distinction without a difference... But then again "push technology's limits" is the hallmark of processor manufacturing, is it not? Having said that, from my layman's consumer perspective, the phrase "One Giant Chip" reminds me of my experience with the Pentium D, which is obviously entirely different but it was a god awful attempt at "bigger means better". Fortunately there were other more sensible offerings from competitors and even Intel was later able to come up with more sensible designs, so I'm confident that in the longer term the very talented engineers in this field will keep finding success
