Also I assume that both AMD and Intel bought FPGA companies for FPGA co-processor acceleration opportunities. I don't think this has panned out.. I know Microsoft has their bing FPGA accelerator, but I don't think FPGAs have made any dent in the AI space, and are certainly not essential in any of the hyperscalers. Maybe AMD will sell Xilinx at some point.
>they partitioned off the entirety of the transceivers to a separate tile fab'd by TSMC and sellotaped to the edge of the Stratix 10
awesome.. I could imagine it was too risky to redesign the transceivers.
