IBM WAS WAVING a lot of cells around at MPF. It had CPUs, dies and wafers of shiny Playstation 3 goodness.
If you ever wondered how many Cells can dance on the head of a 12-inch wafer, all you need to do is count. So, without further delay, here is a wafer of Cells, a closeup of four chips, and the back of the finished CPU. The front is entirely a thermal lid.
Enjoy. ยต
