Debate erupts over Huawei's 'logic folding' die-stacking claims

Original: What am I misunderstanding? "Logic folding" and "tau law" are just die stacking. They don't change the statistics behind

Commenters are challenging Huawei's marketing terms "logic folding" and "tau law" for its advanced chips, arguing the techniques are essentially die stacking that links chiplets more efficiently. Critics say such packaging does not change the underlying statistics of machine learning performance or manufacturing yields, and question whether the buzzwords describe any genuinely new scaling approach beyond established semiconductor practices.

Why now: Huawei's new chip terminology is being scrutinized amid debate over whether the company has real breakthroughs or is rebranding existing packaging techniques.

• What am I misunderstanding? "Logic folding" and "tau law" are just die stacking. They don't change the statistics behind either ML or yields, just connect your chiplets nicer. # Huawei # logicfolding # tauscaling # chips # scaling · markhahn · 2
