TSMC takes 'chip binning' to a whole new level as entire wafer 'found in a dumpster'
Anyone know how to slice it up into GPUs?
from r/pcmasterrace'Chip binning' is supposed to be the process of testing newly manufactured silicon to see how many of the important bits work and how high the thing will clock. You'd need a lot of thermal paste, of course, and the power requirements would put even melting Nvidia RTX GPUs to shame. Overall, Redditor AVX512-VNNI does seem to be suspiciously well informed on the subject of chip production, which does rather beg the question of exactly how serendipitous the discovery of the wafer really was...
