'Logic folding' and 'tau law' dismissed as die stacking

Original: What am I misunderstanding? "Logic folding" and "tau law" are just die stacking. They don't change the statistics behind

A debate is under way in chip-industry circles over Huawei-linked terms 'logic folding' and 'tau law'. One widely shared take argues the concepts are simply die stacking — connecting chiplets more neatly — and do not change the underlying statistics governing machine learning performance or manufacturing yields. Critics say the terminology overstates what is essentially known packaging technology.

Why now: Scepticism about hyped new semiconductor terminology attributed to Huawei is drawing attention from chip experts.
