TSMC 5nm version. 850,000 -> 900,000 AI cores versus CSE-2 on 7nm. 10% more on-die SRAM (44GB). The CSE-2 had 1.5% extra cores to achieve a 100% yield. (That means the CSE-2 had about 863,000 cores...

Which is it? The chip market is slowing, or Intel just trying to squeeze the Commerce Department? I still can't believe Intel is going to agree to the government's restrictions on...
JERUSALEM, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Israel's government agreed to give Intel (INTC.O) a $3.2 billion grant for a new $25 billion chip plant it plans to build in southern Israel, both sides said on Tuesday, in what is the largest investment ever by a company in Israel.
The news comes as Israel remains...
Tucked away on Microsoft’s Redmond campus is a lab full of machines probing the basic building block of the digital age: Silicon. This multi-step process meticulously tests the silicon, in a method Microsoft engineers have been refining in secret for years.
Today at Microsoft Ignite the company...

Definitely going for efficiency over highest processing power, which IMO is smarter for initial custom hardware designs.

Seriously? Why would the US mind at all if Huawei had to tolerate multi-millisecond average latencies, tail latencies that extend to ten times that long, and transfer rates for enterprise HDDs...
I've been betting this would happen for years, and was always wrong. Until now. It's a low-margin business that Intel originally created as a "standard high volume server" enabling initiative. With companies like Supermicro, Inspur, and Lenovo as players (not to mention Dell and HPE), they...
