Comment on 4T transistors, one giant chip (Cerebras WSE-3) [video]

Interesting. I know there's a lot of attempts to hobble China by limiting their access to cutting edge chips and semiconductor manufacturing technology, but could something like this be a workaround for them, at least for datacenter-type jobs?

Maybe it wouldn't be as powerful as one of these, due to their less capable fabs, but something that's good enough to get the job done in spite of the embargoes.

What do you mean by "this", and how does it work around the restrictions? Do you mean just making bigger chips instead of shrinking the transistors?

Yes.
