The internal expansion of chips is rapidly driving the rapid rise of "giant chips"! !

Update time : 2022-08-01 17:56:43

According to US media reports, the most powerful chips are so powerful that they can hardly be called "microchips" anymore.
As industries demand faster and more powerful chips, shrinking transistors is hitting a bottleneck. So engineers stacked microchips, which eventually led to the rapid rise of "giant chips." In some cases, they are reaching massive volumes that are almost never seen before.

Nowadays, most chips are the size of a coin, and some are even as big as a credit card. In extreme cases, it can even be the size of a dinner plate. These giant chips are not only found in the world's most powerful supercomputers, but also in household devices. Microsoft's Xbox video game console and Sony Apple's Play Station 5 use some new designs designed by Advanced Micro Devices. The M1 Ultra chip used in Apple's Mac Studio computer also uses this design approach, and the Intel Ponte Vecchio processor core used in supercomputers and data centers is also a big chip.
To some extent, giant chips are just a way to push Moore's Law forward. Intel founder Gordon Moore once said that every two years or so, the number of transistors on a chip doubles. The giant chip is just the latest innovation in the industry that promises greater efficiency. But these giant chips pose challenges for engineers because they generate additional heat as they perform calculations in densely packed circuits. Although they are generally more environmentally friendly, their huge size also means that they often need to consume more energy. For example, Intel's Ponte Vecchio chip is greener per calculation, but still uses 600 watts of power, which is enough to get a hair dryer up and running. That's one of the limiting factors if you're asking why giant chips haven't been used in phones yet.
However, despite the challenges in the development of giant chips, the current effort to break down microchips into smaller core particles and then reassemble them into larger and more functional giant chips is becoming an unstoppable trend. In short: the internal expansion of chips has just begun.
