Three Dimensional Chess Anyone? The Challenges of Power Integrity for Multi Die Designs

Power integrity has been a substantial design challenge for a long time. In the multi-die era, the problems associated with EMIR analysis must now move beyond the chip to consider interactions across the entire stack. The effects to be analyzed span a multi-dimensional, multi-material space. The graphic at the top of this post… Read More

Her, in the ear

On May 13, 2024, OpenAI demonstrated GPT-4o, a model that could carry on a spoken conversation with the timing and inflection of a person. One of its voices, called Sky, was warm, quick and more than a little flirtatious. After the demo, Sam Altman posted a single word on X: “her.” Nobody in the industry needed the reference… Read More
