These processors were already in use in commercial systems and made a good showing in the last round of MLPerf benchmark tests. These components are formed in deep, narrow trenches in the silicon, exactly like the bit-storing capacitors in DRAM. The other wafer had a corresponding set of power-delivery chips.
