Packaging is something Intel does very well and they have facilities is the USA. The rumor is many companies might do final assembly with Intel.

I think packaging is still mostly Penang (Malaysia).

Intel opened a packaging facility in New Mexico in January that’s supposed to their largest.

Why not? A single Boeing 747-8F could carry 10M-50M chips in a single trip.

I'm going to call it now, the next big heist movie is going to be about hijacking a plane/container full of AI chips valued at >$1B.

With the way things are going: a plane carrying RAM chips.

Maybe valued at >$1B, but who do you sell it to?

You fly around the world running uncensored llms

China of course…

There have already been heists of trucks carrying GPU's, I could see something like this happening.

Fast & Furious: Quantum Drift.

I'm in.

The value of that airplane would be astronomical. I would split it up into dozens of flights just to reduce risk if one of them had a mechanical problem.

Should be fine as long as the chips have ECC

not the new chips. the A320 itself crashing while losing all of the loot onboard

that was the joke

No, they send them back to china to put them in the retail box.
