Wafer-Scale Engine
Current generation processor; the foundation of every CS-3 system.
What it is
The Wafer-Scale Engine is a single processor built across an entire silicon wafer instead of being cut into many small chips. Cerebras describes it as the first commercialized processor of this kind. Its large on-chip memory and bandwidth are the basis of the company's speed claims for inference.
Why it matters to the stock. It is the technical moat behind every hardware sale. If it stops being a performance lead against GPUs, the hardware and cloud businesses both lose their pitch.
