With the power of four trillion transistors and power saved by not having to communicate with other chips in a rack, will this change the data center game and in how many ways?
Will the WSE-3 chip from Cerebras change everything

I think there was a similar thread here a few weeks ago -- some good discussion there.
WSE-3 is an impressive (historical) technical achievement.
It appears to have the ability to change the game for AI data centers, though it's definitely not a general purpose chip, so not changing data centers overall. The biggest advantage I see is the potential for stellar power efficiency - a lot less energy wasted on interchip communications, and power efficiency (density) is limiting data center compute these days..

How much is Cerebras revenue? How many "Chips/wafers/systems" do they sell per year?
I consider it a super computer with trivial volume but I thought the same about the Intial AI GPUs (oops)
