Round Silicon Wafers
- Silicon wafers are round due to the cylindrical growth of silicon crystals.
- Circular polishing and spinning processes during chip production also favor round wafers.
M1 Ultra Design
- The M1 Ultra likely uses EMIB/LSI technology, similar to a mini circuit board, to connect two M1 Max dies.
- This method is more efficient and scalable than fabricating adjacent dies.
Mac Studio Fan Noise
- The Mac Studio's fans cool both the chip and the power supply, contributing to constant fan noise.
- However, other Macs with internal power supplies, like the Mac mini, are much quieter.
