Amazon explains how the Trainium chip works to non-experts

The Trainium article, complete with animations, is surprisingly good. It covers several concepts which I suspect many professional software engineers couldn't explain, like systolic arrays and interposers. :) I only disagreed with one explanation, which was the on-chip interconnect. The article calls it a "data bus", when it is obviously a 2D mesh made up of point-to-point links. But overall it's pretty good. Better than some quasi-technical publications usually do, and pretty much every mainstream one.
