If there's serious work that can't be effectively done any other way then complex and esoteric cooling setups to overcome those challenges are fine to design and use.

Not sure what needs 1600 cores in one 'chip' but it's probably fairly impressive.

You can’t call it a chip anymore as it’s not cut into chips. More a slice.. perhaps they’ll put it in a 19” pizza box.

Sure, at some point solving the cooling becomes the path with least resistance. It's just surprisingly hard if you have to account in the reliability and dimensions - so it depends on the application.

I haven’t done the math - why wouldn’t something as ‘simple’ as a die diameter solid copper slug work?

Easy to drill for water cooling, and at these scales pretty cheap.

Or are we talking just getting the heat out to whatever heat management device is attached without burning something in the chip itself?
