Shit got real!

I can't help but boost articles about Clearwater Forest even though it's drastically off-topic for this feed ... despite not owning any (yet) I have a soft spot for Intel all-E-core designs, and 288 E-cores on a single giant chip is quite an accomplishment. it will be interesting to see how it performs in the real world once it ships.
interesting: the Skymont E-cores will be built on both TSMC 3nm and Intel 18A process nodes. #semiconductors
