Takahashi shared eye-catching numbers for how big is big, with more than 1.2 trillion transistors across all of the cores on one wafer, compared with a typical processor with 10 billion transistors on one chip.
The company now has a dramatic second chapter to its story; with the WSE news in August, the news that follows is the debut of the entire system, called CS-1. The CS-1 houses the WSE.
"You can't take a Ferrari engine and put it in a Volkswagen to get Ferrari performance," said Andrew Feldman, CEO, in his exchange with VentureBeat. "What you do is you move the bottlenecks if you want to get a 1,000 times performance gain."
So. now there is a CS-1 "powered by a 400,000-core, 1-trillion-transistor wafer-scale processor chip," wrote Samuel Moore in IEEE Spectrum.
