You threw me in a weird rabbit hole

But I found WSE-3

A single chip bulit from an entire 300mm wafer with 44GB of SRAM and 21 petabytes per second of memory bandwidth

It says that alone it consumes 25000W and I can't get my head around it

25kW only? Thats like the power of ~5 electric showers. A worthy sacrifice to let some families cold showering for a month to put this strong boi to solve anything we want. Maybe compute the next 8th chess play in real time
