The pursuit of computing power by humans is endless. But just yesterday, we seemed to have taken a big step forward: California based startup Cerebras released the world's largest chip, specifically designed for AI computing.
This chip called Wafer Scale Engine (WSE) has 1.2 trillion transistors, which is 57 times the number of Nvidia's latest flagship GPU Titan V. Its size is already larger than an iPad:

WSE is built using TSMC's 16 nanometer process technology, with an area of 46225 square millimeters and 400000 cores. It has on-chip storage of up to 18G, power consumption of 15000 watts (approximately equivalent to the power of 6 induction cookers), memory bandwidth of 9PB/s, and communication structure bandwidth of 100PB/s. The company stated that using only one such chip can drive complex artificial intelligence systems, from autonomous vehicles to monitoring systems.

Cerebras' 'violent aesthetics' have caused people to exclaim that the number of transistors in WSE has exceeded the number of neurons in the human brain!
Prior to this, Samsung had actually developed a 2 trillion transistor flash memory chip (eUFS), but Cerebras' chip was used for processing work. In addition, WSE has achieved a speed increase of 3000 times and a storage bandwidth expansion of 10000 times.
I. Classification and Standards of CleanroomsHospital cleanrooms are classified into four levels (A, B, C, D) based on usage and cleanliness requirements (referring to GB/T 16297-1996 "Air Cleanliness Standard"), with Level A having the highest cleanliness suitable for sterile operating rooms and tr
With the acceleration of industrialization, particularly in marine environments, coastal regions, and specific industrial sectors such as chemicals, automobile manufacturing, and electronic equipment production, products are facing severe challenges from salt fog corrosion. To ensure product reliabi
Under the framework of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), the air filtration system has become a core engineering element in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the sterility of drugs and prevent cross-contamination. With the rapid development of biopharmaceutical and cell therapy technologies, a
In the field of advanced semiconductor manufacturing, air cleanliness control has evolved from an auxiliary process to a core technical element that determines the chip yield rate. As the process node enters the era below 3nm, the number of 0.1μm-level particulate matters allowed per cubic meter of
