Chip Manufacturing Insights
A recent patent sheds light on the intricate workings of M1 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips, revealing that two adjacent chips must function properly to achieve the Ultra configuration. This requirement significantly impacts manufacturing costs, as the likelihood of finding two working chips next to each other on a silicon wafer is much lower. The discussion highlights the complexities of chip design and the challenges posed by the circular nature of silicon wafers, leading to wasted space in production.In this clip
