The amount of current that can be pushed through a thin silicon die is just wild.

- noir_lord 4mo agoI think of that every time I watch my GPU hit 440W sustained power draw on a die that is ~23mm square. Which comes out to be about 831kW per square meter and the cooling solution keeps it at 60-63C even under that load (while noticeably warming my office since it's effectively dumping the same as one bar on a two bar electric heater). As a species, we got really good at engineering.
