It is a single very large chip...and they are having trouble with the yield....see link at #32...and then post #3 on that thread. .
HOLY MOLY!!!!
That’s insane.
3 billion transistors seems a little low for that many cores though. A current quad core i7 CPU from intel has almost a billion transistors. The six and eight core i9 CPUs will probably have 2 billion or more transistors. I would think.
I’m having a hard time imagining what software an average joe is going to run that will make full use of computer power 5 years from now.
