…Yeah, exactly. Sounds great. There's a few aspects to that. I think the first one is pick your memory system right. I said, we've seen this HBM family, we've got the SRAM family, put them both together is actually, the most obvious idea, but you can actually do it. There are a lot of details to make that work well. We've done that work. One of the things that shows up there is you've spent all of this area on your chip on SRAM. How do you fit in the matrix multipliers, which are the other big thing you really need to do, and somehow create a much more efficient matrix multiply engine? There is a gold standard for that. That is called the systolic array. Make a really large systolic array. You can't beat that in area or power efficiency. Provably so? Practically?…
