I was wondering if they could or if they do make APUs/CPUs/GPUs Like this.

So I was wondering if Platters could or are put together like this for versatility.

Imagine the small boxes are a cluster of GPU cores, the long boxes are a cluster of two CPU cores. blue is just an example of data connect and red would be differing examples of lazer cutting to produce a versatile platter which could be cut in may ways to suit different needs. so..

1gpu cluster/2 cores
2gpu clusters/4 cores
0 gpu clusters/16 cores
etc
etc
etc

I imagine some problems would replicating everything over one gpu cluster and 2 cores which could mean wasting silicon on replicating parts that only may need one instance of.

May be silly but it just popped into my head.

Couldn't embed the image for some reason it's late and I'm too tired to look into why.. But Link.

Silicone platters man. From which CPUs are made. Am I using the wrong terminology or something?

 

[TheMorningStar]

They're called wafers.

Cool cheers, anyway moving on. Are they or can they be made in a modular fashion like this?

I guess that means that chips are cut into a wafer one by one rather than the entire wafer being processed at the same time then?
