1 reports · 1 sources
Musk announced that Tesla will cut the AI5 chip RAM from 144GB to 72GB (halved), and the AI6 from 216GB to 144GB (cut by one third), stating that this move is the only way to secure sufficient memory capacity for mass production of the Optimus humanoid robot. He said that after the reduction bandwidth remains unchanged, and the performance impact is "negligible." Before Terafab goes into production, Tesla's memory supply can only be sustained by Micron's quota.
