- shwetanshu21 9mo agoThanks, I was acutally wondering how would someone even manage to make that big a chip.
- jmalicki 9mo agoIt's a whole wafer. Basically all chips are made on wafers that big, but normally it's a lot of different chips, you cut the wafer into small chips and throw the bad ones away. Cerebras has other ways of marking the defects so they don't affect things.
- ash_091 9mo ago*thousands, not thousandths, right? The correct number is fourty six thousand, two hundred and fifty five square mm.
- Sharparam 9mo agoThis is why space is the only acceptable thousands/grouping separator (a non-breaking space when possible). Avoids any confusion.

- xyproto 9mo agoSpace is also confusing! Then it looks like two separate numbers. Underscore (_) is already used as a decimal separator in programming languages and Mathematics should just adopt it, IMO.
