    Looks like each L2B has it's own memory controllers -- but that would only give each L2B a 64-bit wide memory IF, unless it's all ganged up somehow.

    Interesting.

    That's a bizarre PCie card. Double height, with *2* x16 plugs that are physically detached from the main PCB... And wouldn't forced induction with a big axial fan be more power efficient than that little leaf blower?

    *forced airflow*

    they managed to make it incredibly ugly

    Yes, because looks are the number one priority for this card.

    The dual connections are probably not data related and are tied only to the power draw.

    where have you gone anandtech for so many years
    it's a shame about this achievement

    Where have we gone? We're still here.

    That reads like a spambot padding its post count with innocuous nonsense

    I wonder who that customer might be...

    All that compute performance and they didn't manage to utilize PCIe 4.0.....total missed opportunity

    But ... the whole point is addressing compute limited applications ... why add cost to deliver pcie4 for no benefit?

    1000amps @ 0.55 V? Those have got to be some mighty thick traces!

    Cerebras: hold my beer.

    @ryan - will there be coverage of the Cerebras CS-1 from SC19?

    There are some misunderstandings in this article.
    Although the founders of Preferred networks (PFN) graduated from Tokyo Univ. PFN is not a spin-out from Tokyo Univ.
    PFN has built three AI supercomputers for private. It is not for Tokyo University.
