GLASS CPUs ARE COMING.

Processors with glass core substrates are coming - but what does that mean?

Don't let Linus handle glass CPUs!

I am glad these companies are being transparent with their technologies.

[sumdude]

Man I remember when CPU substrates were ceramic. Guess we're coming full circle?

[ThatOneGuy]

I worked at a fiberglass company and the person who was in charge of cutting the fiberglass material did not know that fiberglass was glass

[FlammableElectronics]

Now your future cpu **scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7**

[OrbitlynX]

As someone who works at Semiconductor industry I am excited to see another revolution on the horizon

What they didn't mention in the video is that the glass substrates will not be pure glass, there will still be other materials involved. So it's not just going to be a single fragile piece of glass. Not as fragile but also not as cool as it sounds.

[WillUltmate]

Now what happens if Linus drops them?…

Synthetic diamond would probably be even better if you could do it at scale - it's an electrical insulator & isotopically pure diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of any known material.

[ELCrisler]

Glass substrates along with the chiplette design have been two nice changes we are seeing in chip development. Both can, in theory lead to lowering costs of chips for consumers down the road.

glass have been in use in ltcc thick film and similar stuff for decades because of their high thermal stability so it makes sense for newer cpus to just use existing tech and get a nice improvement

[ctatrn]

Would of been nice to mention why pure glass die's weren't able to be used in the past and the specific breakthrough that allows manufacturers to use it now.

Transistors aren't getting smaller though. The nanometers used to relate to their size, but it was abandoned since the physical size limit has been reached about a decade ago

"Glass is glass and glass can break" DON'T TOUCH IT LINUS

[somethinggeeky]

This reminds me of glass substrate hard drives. They were terrible until they weren't then everyone forgot this was even a thing as technology moved forward.

[ibrahim-tech]

Get ready to hear things like "I dropped my phone and the cpu broke instead of the screen"

[googlesucks]

I'm looking forward to our glassy future. Future datacentres could look like the fortress of solitude from the first superman movie.

3:33 Look out, Riley! Evil engineer assassin sneaking up on your 6!

[Gabryel]

Mr. White, this is glass! You're an artist!
