There's several ways to engineer around that as the errors are detectable. There's a big literature on how to trade off speed or transistors for error correction. [1]

(Is Cerebras doing something novel? CPUs and memory blocks have been doing those things for a long time too, since the error rate is otherwise too high for normal size chips as well)
