Would be interesting if all of a sudden, a paradigm shift, all he chips are designed as concentric rings for some reason

Imagine someone quietly developing, and then suddenly releasing a modern chip with this kind of design in mind. They’d get a lot of publicity just for being different. And the process would be their own, so if anyone likes it, or there turns out to be any benefits to the design, it would be a while until someone replicates it.

My feeling is that this would make bin packing on a silicon wafer less optimal?
