At A.I. day Tesla said their DPU (Dojo) will use 7nm they didn't say specifically but I'm betting that will be at TSMC. Speaking of Tesla they have been adapting chips from pretty much any source they can get and re-writing firmware depending on the application that's why Tesla is not being hammered by the chip shortage. To my knowledge Tesla is the only one doing this.

I had a crazy thought during A.I. day, Tesla should buy AMD. It's a perfect fit they both are making products for deep learning and Tesla is now using an AMD GPU. Cross pollination between Tesla's Dojo and AMDs GPUs and CPUs would be excellent. And even more amazing (and bizarre) is Tesla is doing photo real simulations that look like the best video game you've ever seen.

edit - good vid talking about DOJO

 

7 nm? 5nm is already in the pipeline for many semiconductor industry. Don’t buy into hype from Tesla they’re not going to change the world you won’t see any of this next 10 yrs.

 

5nm is super useful for mobile applications because each node reduces power consumption noticeably. Tesla doesn't have the volume to order at 5nm and 7nm is dramatically cheaper as it's an older node now. The node you pick is due to cost consideration and their intended purpose. Lower doesn't mean better.

 

Wouldn’t you think with 15kw power consumption smaller 5nm node can reduce lots of heat? Tesla probably went with 7nm probably due to timing they have this chip in layout for yrs 5nm is pretty new.

 

7nm is much cheaper right now too and 5nm is really reserved for the Apple and Qualcomm's of the world. I think they are using 7nm as it's it has great power profile along with cheaper costs and availability.

 

i'm sure there isn't abundant 5nm manufacturing capacity worldwide right now.

oh, and ironic username

 

skip to 8:15 if you want to see the simulation, I'm kinda hoping Tesla starts making video games or at least allows their datasets to be used by game devs.

 

They stole my name lawsuit coming. Lol

 

great video. Thanks for sharing.

 

More vaporware announcements, but Tesla fanboys are either paid fluffers or so easily gullible and easy to scam, I'd love to somehow cash in on it.

 

Lol, google Tesla AI day bingo.

 

I’m against government push of EVs but nobody can deny the brilliance of Elon Musk.
While he is not a typical CEO that sticks to conservative timelines etc, he is one of the most revolutionary ppl of our lifetime.

He singlehandedly changed the automotive industry. NASA is using his rockets for space missions that is besides all the other projects he has had influence in.

The data that all the Tesla cars have accumulated and the AI software is beyond anything other automakers can even dream of at this point. I think he has much bigger vision for Tesla than just being car company similar to Jobs with Apple not just being a computer company.

Ppl used to say the same crap about Steve Jobs to the point he got chased out of Apple.

Musk will admit himself he has had plenty of failures but when your shooting for something nobody has done that is bound to happen. I respect his vision and actually going out and doing it with his $$$$$ on the line. I would never bet against anything he is doing.

BTW if you want to cash in, just keep buying Tesla stock and hold it for next 10yrs.

 

Except its cheating, lol.

 

Haha, from the people who brought us pictures of parking lots as proof of no Model 3 demand. You just have to look reeeally hard, and if you don't see it well you just didn't look hard enough.

 

I can't say i understand that twatter's tweet...

How do they know it's a "LiDAR rig"?
What does Miami have to do with it?
What is the picture supposed to be showing?

also Och, do you deny SpaceX has docked space ships at the space station and landed the boosters upright for re-use? Those accomplishments are amazing and required real science, real engineering, etc.

do i believe there's probably some smoke and mirrors in what's being presented? probably, but you'd think there would be plenty of former tesla employers being whistleblowers if it was total b.s.

Value Dissenter is no doubt shorting the stock. Lol
