This might be an oddball question to ask... When cpu manufactures make wafers that get cut into separate cpu chips, why do they make the wafers round? From what I know about the way cpu cores are set up, the chips are usually square or rectangular in shape. This means that there are quite a few wasted cores at the edges of the circle wafer that are cut off. Wouldn't it make more sense to make the wafers square or rectangular shape?
