Giant Chips for Supercomputers

Should we not call these chips bricks? How to make this "chip" fit in my smartphone? 😊

"... the company has been squeezing as many processors as it can onto one giant wafer. The main advantage is in the interconnects—by wiring processors together on-chip, the wafer-scale chip bypasses many of the computational speed lossesthat come from many GPUs talking to each other, as well as losses from loading data to and from memory. ..."
