From 25 Million Pixels to a Six-Ounce Product: Engineering Visor for Manufacturing

From 25 Million Pixels to a Six-Ounce Product: Engineering Visor for Manufacturing
by Moh Kolb on 10-11-2026 at 8:00 am

By Dr. Moh Kolbehdari

Putting roughly 25 million pixels into a wearable device weighing about six ounces sounds, at first, like a display problem.

It is not.

The displays must fit behind an optical system capable of turning those pixels into a usable visual field. Compute must generate and move the required data. Power must support… Read More

Intel Foundry: AI performance now depends on the whole system

Intel Foundry: AI performance now depends on the whole system
by Daniel Nenni on 10-02-2026 at 6:00 am

AI performance now depends on the whole system

For decades, chipmakers improved computing performance largely by putting more capable circuitry on a piece of silicon. That remains important, but AI is exposing its limits. Large models demand enormous amounts of data movement, sustained power and effective cooling. A fast processor cannot deliver its full benefit if memory… Read More
