Intel 3.0 Logo SemiWiki

Lip-Bu Tan made it very clear on his most recent call that Intel will not continue to invest in leading edge semiconductor manufacturing solo. Lip-Bu is intimately familiar with TSMC and that is the collaborative business model he envisions for Intel Foundry. I support this 100%. Intel and Samsung have tried to compete head-to-head… Read More

AI Inference Use Cases from Edge to Cloud

Keeping up with competitors in many computing applications today means incorporating AI capability. At the edge, where devices are smaller and consume less power, the option of using software-powered GPU architectures becomes unviable due to size, power consumption, and cooling constraints. Purpose-built AI inference … Read More

vibe coding

This isn’t a deep article. I only want to help head off possible confusion over this term. I have recently seen “vibe coding” pop up in discussions around AI for code generation. The name is media-friendly giving it some stickiness in the larger non-technical world, always a concern when it comes to anything AI. The original intent… Read More
