I suppose that would be funny if one was completely ignorant of how semi devices work.

Chances are most people buying chips with a 240x240mm substrate are dealing with mission-critical infrastructure where chips that break prematurely are a surefire way of losing customers forever, either from them going to alternative suppliers that aren't breaking down as much or sticking with older systems for much longer. Some companies still hire VAX and AS400 gurus to keep their antique payroll and billing systems running.

this isn't window glass, heh. It is stronger than the boards used today. If you read the article:
" superior mechanical, physical, and optical properties of glass substrates to enable the company to build higher-performance multi-chiplet system-in-packages (SiPs), aimed primarily at data centers."

The crazy engineers at AT&T had dreams of replacing copper wires with cables made out of glass and even stretching them under the oceans. Any decent manager would have fired them before the presentation was over, but no, they actually funded the project with billions of dollars of cold hard cash!! (sarc off)

Intel should have come up with a better name than glass for it.

There was a PopSci article about super strong glass in 2015 that used a combo of glass and aluminum.

Of course there is zero chance that any computer nerd on the planet would ever allow Intel to steal the name I'm thinking of.

AKAIK, hard drives have been using glass platters for quite a while now. Yet I don't know of anyone complaining that his HDD platters have shattered, despite actually moving during operation.

The the comments of "LOL glass will break!" would be merely replaced with "[newname] is just glass, LOL glass will break!".

"Siri, ask chatGPT to come up with a good name for a glass based substrate"

Aluminum platters are still common in low-cost 3.5" HDDs. Also, glass doesn't typically shatter from mild static and dynamic loading unless it has defects in it. Good glass shatters from shock loads such as getting dropped from high enough onto a hard enough surface.

a hdd can fail from just being moved around.

and those are not under stress the way substrate is (intel's even recently had issue with sockets bending the substrate due to the pressure they are under)

Just saying...

You talking about Star Trek’s transparent aluminum?
