This is the bottleneck. EUV Photolithography is one of the hardest engineering challenges ever faced, it's like trying to drop a feather from space and guaranteeing it lands on a specific blade of grass. Manufacturing these GPUs at all requires us to stretch the limit of what is physically possible in multiple domains, much less producing them at scale.

Thanks for this explanation! :) (as someone without knowledge of the hardware process I appreciated it).
It is SO amazing that we have such a driving force (LLMs/consumer-AI) for this (instead of stupid cryptocurrencies mining or high-performance gaming). This should drive innovation pretty strongly and I am sure the next "leap" in this regard (processing hardware) will put technology in a completely different level.

That's a cool last minute detour from techno gods. We can incentivize AI to work on crypto mining, and regain our fully engaged primeval lives back ;)
