A closer look
Moore's Law has been dying a slow, expensive death. Trying to manufacture massive, flawless silicon processors was resulting in a ridiculous amount of defective, discarded chips. Advanced Micro Devices stopped trying to make giant chips and instead pioneered the chiplet architecture. They chop the processor into tiny, easily manufactured blocks and glue them back together using a microscopic, high-speed data highway called Infinity Fabric. This approach drastically reduces the risk of manufacturing defects while allowing them to cram an insane number of cores onto a single motherboard. It is a brilliant, Lego-like engineering loophole that successfully bypassed the harsh physical limitations of traditional semiconductor manufacturing.
