The first gen WSE monolithic chip was as big as an iPad; second gen chips should mostly retain the same size as Cerebras now uses 7 nm nodes instead of 16 nm. (image Source: BBC)

Cerebras breaks own record with improved densities via TSMC's 7 nm nodes: 2.6 trillion transistors and 850,000 cores on a single chip

The updated Wafer Scale Engine allows Cerebras to double the transistor and core counts on the monolithic chips, although the size and power requirements should remain close to the original gen 1 chips since the technology now uses TSMC's 7 nm nodes instead of the older 16 nm. It remains to be seen if Cerebras is going to double the amount of on-chip SRAM and the fabric bandwidth.

Why is Softbank rushing to sell ARM? Softbank overinvesting in the wrong business areas and the Chinese ARM branch "going rogue" among the possible reasons

If Nvidia manages to buy ARM, team green will certainly have its hands full with all sorts of inherent problems in addition to all the other competing ARM clients that demand equal access to current IPs and future technologies. One such problem may have been created by Softbank itself when it began overinvesting in an IoT ARM division that did not take off, plus the Chinese ARM branch could prove a bit of a wildcard as its CEO is now trying to separate from the British branch.
