Wired communication at VRAM speeds on a single low (production) cost chip?! This is going to be game changing for AI and super-computing. Wow. At these speeds clustering and distributed computing will be a thing of the past in supercomputin

It actually doesn't make sense. A circle with a 1D point missing from its edge is the same as a sphere with a 2D hole in it. Both have material connected "around" it in another dimension. For a sphere the connection wraps aro
