minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•4 months agoN00b question. Do these chips get transferred from USA to India/Vietnam for assembly and then back again to all over the world for shipping?
minus-square@mholivlinkEnglish6•edit-24 months agoThey may. But logistically I can’t see it being a problem. Each CPU is like 10mmx10mmx1mm. You could fit a TON in a 1m^3 box.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•4 months agoIdeally 100,000 if my math is correct. Just be careful as there is no packing material except for the box itself.
