Is there a link to a version that isn't almost entirely compression artifacts?

This definitely isn't the original, since the blue text at the bottom right isn't even legible.

Neywiny•2h ago
Yeah if you scroll down they tell you how
system2•2h ago
I scrolled down, and there is only 1 paragraph of text and two blurry images. What did you scroll down to?
paulsen•2h ago
Next to the paragraph of text is this:

"High Resolution Floorplan images available here"

With some contact info below that

It is moved to the end of the page on mobile it seems

daemonologist•2h ago
Seems like the full resolution images are for sale ("contact us").
bigwheels•58m ago
+1, it's pretty fuzzy. Maybe chipsandcheese or hotchips will do an independent imaging?

The A19 appears to be remarkably intricate chip.

It’s still my strongly held belief that things like this are one of humanity’s grandest achievements.
temp0826•2h ago
It's definitely an "on the shoulders of giants standing on the shoulders of giants" thing. Insane breakthrough technologies on top of other insane breakthroughs. Firing lasers at microscopic molten drops of metal in a controlled enough manner to get massively consistent results like what??
itopaloglu83•2h ago
It’s a mind blowing achievement, nothing below sorcery if you think about it.

ASML machines are hitting tin droplets with 25kW laser 50,000 times a second to turn them into plasma to create the necessary extreme ultraviolet light, and despite generating 500W of EUV, only a small fraction can reach the wafer, due to loses along the way. I believe it was like 10%.

Here’s an incredible, very detailed video about it: https://youtu.be/B2482h_TNwg

bigwheels•55m ago
That is a really cool video, thank you!

Maybe the high water usage is at some other stage? Or intermediate preceding stages?

brcmthrowaway•2h ago
Nah, NVIDIA GPU has way more raw computational power & smarts.

Do TSMC current node sizes allow for Backside Power Delivery (BPD)?

As someone who knows nothing about PCB, from those images it appears that double side printing of some sort is happening.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

monocasa•2h ago
No backside power delivery on TSMC yet, even at 2nm. It's supposed to come on TSMC's A16 node.

I think what you're seeing is the silicon layers visible from the back through the bulk substrate, and the metal layers on the front.

wmf•2h ago
There is no backside anything here. This may be a photo of a thinned die; silicon is somewhat transparent so you can often see the die structures better from the back because it isn't blocked by the metal stack.
dishsoap•2h ago
Well I see the 'die shot,' but not the 'analysis'
giuliomagnifico•2h ago
Unfortunately I think think you have to pay for the analysis and high resolution pics.

Anyone interested in more info and detailed videos should check out Geekerwan: https://youtu.be/Y9SwluJ9qPI

English subtitles are recommended, unless you are better at Chinese than I am.

ksec•31m ago
The interesting part is the E-Core on A19 Pro are nearly as good as the previous ARM Big Core while only using half the power. I would love to know the die size of the cache and E-Core.

ARM were catching up to Apple in terms of big core, now Apple has leapfrogged in E-Core again. But competition is good. ARM should have some announcement coming in next few months.
