Watched the talk at Hot Chips today[0]- 400,000(!) cores on a single wafer is absolutely remarkable! There was a slide not posted in which there were virtual segments of the wafer designated for each step, and the example given by the presenter showed a perfectly in-order workflow execution.

Their 2020 announcement is 850K cores, which is even more impressive!
