That's cool. A quick search and I can't see if there is anything special/different about the silicon for that chiplet but it would absolutely make sense that they tweak those wafers to be less leaky and/or denser.

Indeed. And they've got designs using at least two different processes (one for compute, another for IO) but the article has examples using 4 or 5! I just can't see anyone else going as far as that.

As of this comment, there are 53 occurrences of "apple" and 4 of "chiplet" in the comments here (three from the same comment). And to comment on topic, this mix of processes, each optimised to the task at hand and all o

Sorry, messed this up. Ironically in an edit to make it clearer. I meant to say that "fuck off" is better than "fuck it".

I (British person) agree with you. "Fuck it" is better. Especially considering "Fork it" could already be considered ambiguous: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fork%20it

Have you tried Chase UK? They are an app-only bank but don't offer any lending so the checks should be more relaxed. They claim to accept an EU photo ID card if you have one of those.

I wouldn't expect a non-resident to know without doing research. But I would expect them to do that research because opening a bank account in another country because it is not a standard thing to do. I don't think it's the j

I hope @mojuba is now aware of this. This is not a good "bank if you have other options. Going back to Monzo would be a better choice.

Don't all UK banks require a UK address?

I didn't realise this. Why would anyone accept this risk and use Revolut as anything more than a place for pocket money while abroad?!

Static power (leakage) increases exponentially with temperature. Although, static power should be relatively small compared to dynamic power for TSMC's latest nodes.

I have the same credentials but I've never encountered anyone pronouncing it as dram. Only D-RAM and S-RAM etc. Although the bike brand SRAM is pronounced as sram, which is fun.

I think it very much depends on the equipment. I think we have multiple tiers of what we support at each type of facility, with traditional data centres having less stringent requirements (maybe w.r.t noise/filters rather than temp) co

I was under the impression that they still did some of their own software defined routing, maybe at lower bandwidths? That could be an out-dated view. I do know they also buy traditional equipment from the big vendors for high-bandwidth stu

Yes. You must be able to control the temperature of a building densely packed full of hot radiators. You might be able to avoid active AC within the Arctic circle but you'd m still want to filter that incoming (very) cold air, at which

Carrier-grade (i.e. critical) network equipment should be rated for 40C ambient air and then up to 55C for some short length of time (3 days??) to allow for air conditioning failure. This is what we design and test for. Cheap stuff, includi

Will these CPUs talk to each other with a similar latency hit as we get from talking to DRAM today?

Perhaps we should be counting computers, rather than people, in the "computer world". Although I am not saying you'd come to a different conclusion.

FYI, Symantec endpoint proection flags this as having "WS.Reputation.1" spyware. Which I think translates to them not being paid off sufficiently.
