Cool stuff, although this would have been more impressive before AMD pulled out their hands down insane 192 core monsters of processors.

Stacking cores over memory is very interesting however, specifically if you can combine this with high density SOT-RAM, you could get like gigabytes of (even persistent) cache…

Edit: I mean, like, actual cache with cache-level latency, not just on-package DRAM or a little extra SRAM

Fujitsu has demonstrated a mechanical sample of its Armv9-based 144-core Monaka processor for data centers, revealing some details. Less than a week ago, it disclosed that it is being developed with Broadcom and relies on its 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package platform.

The same tech, 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package, is rumoured to be used in Apple’s upcoming custom AI processing chips.
