Why AI Chips Take So Long to Ship

TLDR: AI chips take so long to ship not because of design difficulties, but because of advanced packaging challenges and memory limitations. The process of connecting multiple chips into a single unit requires microscopic precision, and the industry demand has outpaced supply. High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) solves some problems but creates others with yield issues, while AI itself is being used to accelerate manufacturing through intelligent inspection and inverted models.
