Cerebras win SEMI Award 2023 for its chip with 2.6 trillion transistors

Cerebras Systems effort in making AI chip WSE-2 with 2.6 trillion transistors gets it 2023 SEMI Award for North America for process and technology integration at SEMICON West. Cerebras made world's largest integrated circuit chip for complex artificial intelligence (AI) computation applications training with very large AI databases as a single data core. Cerebras Systems made this big chip by having multiple semiconductor wafers integrated using advanced semiconductor packaging and system design. WSE-2 packs 2.6 trillion transistors and 40 gigabytes of on-chip memory with an active area of 46,225 mm2 fabricated on 300mm silicon wafers using TSMC's 7nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. WSE-2 are deployed in stand-alone units of the company’s CS-2 Artificial Intelligence system and incorporated as accelerators in large-scale AI computing centers.
“We are honored to be recognized by SEMI for our work in revolutionizing AI compute for generative AI,” said Dhiraj Mallick, SVP, Hardware Engineering and Operations, Cerebras Systems. “Our Wafer-Scale Engine, the industry’s largest AI processor which powers our CS-2 systems, enables the AI community to train truly large-scale models efficiently and easily.” The Cerebras WSE-2 is the largest processor ever built.
