I wish they dug into how this monstrosity is powered. Assuming 1V and 24kW, that's 24kAmps.

Backside power delivery using through-silicon vias.

I'm sure those TSVs connect to a huge array of switching power supplies, so the 24kW doesn't travel very far at such low voltages.

and cooling!

Imagine the heat sink on that thing. Would look like a cast-iron Dutch oven :)

The one of the videos posted here gets into that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39693930: https://vimeo.com/853557623

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.

"We call it the engine block because it somewhat resembles a three cylinder motorcycle engine"

(referring to the power distribution and cooling)

24kW translates to like 32hp, so you could imagine this thing with a liquid cooling loop hooked up to something that looks like a car radiator.

24kW is on the lower end of a home heating gas boiler.

Then just connect the water loop to the house heaters...

Finally, a chip that outmatches the Noctua NH-D15!
