Intel's new Xeon MAX 9480 has 64GB of high-speed RAM packaged next to the cores.

Four large squares in the center are CPU cores (14-cores each)

Four rectangles on the outside are HMB2e RAM (16GB each)

Interestingly, it can boot and run a full OS without any extra DIMMs installed!

It's wild that we can literally look at molecules using atomic force microscopy.

It's especially satisfying when the resulting images look like their structural formulas.
