My eyes just glaze over, at this point. The horsepower and specs of this hardware is so far beyond anything I have access to or could even use, I barely see any point in even trying to keep track of it.

TBH, I'm having more fun tweaking with my N97 mini PC, lately. I'm doing some perf/W scaling analysis on Gracemont, right now.

Well, since TSMC recently laid out plans for up to 5.5x reticle size chips by 2026 (100x100mm substrate), I'm curious to know how the industry reacts, and whether RUBIN arch will still use a more economical 4x reticle design by that time.

There is at least some surety these R100 GPUs are expected to be manufactured using TSMC CoWoS-L packaging technology on the N3 process node.

A greater than 8x reticle size in a 120x120mm package configuration is also on TSMC's pipeline though, integrating four different SoICs.
