- tantalor 11mo agoWhy not? A single Boeing 747-8F could carry 10M-50M chips in a single trip.
- epicureanideal 11mo agoThe value of that airplane would be astronomical. I would split it up into dozens of flights just to reduce risk if one of them had a mechanical problem.
- dylan604 11mo agoThey said 747, not 737MAX, so the risk isn't as high /s Then again, if it were A320s, they'd be at risk of solar flares, so best go by ship I think
- HansHamster 11mo agoShould be fine as long as the chips have ECC
- dylan604 11mo agonot the new chips. the A320 itself crashing while losing all of the loot onboard
- HansHamster 11mo agothat was the joke
- bhouston 11mo agoI'm going to call it now, the next big heist movie is going to be about hijacking a plane/container full of AI chips valued at >$1B.
- throwaway31131 11mo agoMaybe valued at >$1B, but who do you sell it to?

- KronisLV 11mo agoWith the way things are going: a plane carrying RAM chips.
- robotnikman 11mo agoThere have already been heists of trucks carrying GPU's, I could see something like this happening.
- Bad_CRC 11mo agoFast & Furious: Quantum Drift. I'm in.
- wil421 11mo agoNo, they send them back to china to put them in the retail box.
- throwaway31131 11mo agoPackaging is something Intel does very well and they have facilities is the USA. The rumor is many companies might do final assembly with Intel. https://www.eetimes.com/intels-embarrassment-of-riches-advanced-packaging/ https://www.eetimes.com/intels-embarrassment-of-riches-advan...
- hedgehog 11mo agoI think packaging is still mostly Penang (Malaysia).
- throwaway31131 11mo agoIntel opened a packaging facility in New Mexico in January that’s supposed to their largest. https://newsroom.intel.com/intel-foundry/updates-intel-10-largest-construction-projects https://newsroom.intel.com/intel-foundry/updates-intel-10-la...
