Also, rental tents and portable toilets won't be needed for large presidential receptions any more. The military bunker will be built to current standards, not outdated ones.

Glass substrates and laser cooling target AI chip's growing heat problem — 1dTRUMPF’s HiPIMS-enabled through-glass vias aim to pack more AI-computing power into chips by enabling reliable, high-yield glass-substrate packaging for next-generation processors, while its ultrashort-pulse lasers support integrated chip cooling to address heat bottlenecks. Alongside these advances, iCometrue is promoting copper-block solutions to drastically reduce TPVs/TGVs for power delivery in large AI multi-chip packages, illustrating a packaging-driven shift in AI chip design.

Maya Lindstrom Power delivery gets ignored until it becomes the bottleneck. Copper blocks instead of tons of tiny vias makes sense for these massive multi-chip AI packages.
