Most impressive.
I would enjoy an ELI5 for the market differences between commodity chips and these mainframe grade CPUs. Stuff like design, process, and supply chain, anything of interest to a general (nerd) audience.
IBM sells 100s of Z mainframes per year, right? Each can have a bunch of CPUs, right? So Samsung is producing 1,000s of Telums per year? That seems incredible.
Given such low volumes, that's a lot more verification and validation, right?
Foundaries have to keep running to be viable, right? So does Samsung bang out all the Telums for a year in one burst, then switch to something else? Or do they keep producing a steady trickle?
Not that this info would change my daily work or life in any way. I'm just curious.
TIA.
