Wafer
When microprocessors are produced, they are etched onto a flat round wafers of silicon,
and then chopped up to yield a certain amount of processors per silicon wafer. Silicon wafer production began with small silicon wafers, and those wafers have now scaled up to 200mm (8 inch) and 300mm (12 inch) sizes. Microchip production / fabrication equipment capable of handling large 300mm wafers is capable of increasing the yield of chips per wafer by a large degree, and lowering total costs of chip production. Since wafers are round and chip dies are square or rectangular, you lose a certain amount of chips around the edges of a wafer, so there's a classic problem of fitting as many chips as you can onto a wafer.
Wafer is a program designed to graphically display the metrics of microprocessor production, with a focus on comparing the yields of 200mm and 300mm silicon wafers. Chip dies come in different sizes, typically between 50 square mm and 200 square mm, and amount of chips you can build on a given silicon wafer depends on that die size. Newer production technologies can fit more transisters onto smaller chip dies, but at the same time, the amount of transistors packed into microchips
continues to increase at a rapid pace, such as specified by Moore's Law.
