HBM3 swings open the door to significantly faster data movement between memory and processors, reducing the power it takes to send and...
MORRIS TANENBAUM
Silicon microchip inventor
Fellow, 94; died 26 February
Tanenbaum’s research in the mid-1950s proved that silicon was a better semiconductor material for transistors than germanium, which was commonly used at the time. His discovery paved the way for more efficient transistors...
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make a table comparing various technologies with a simple yes or no for whether any commercial products have been sold with the specified combination. (Limited range to the last 10 years for brevity's sake.)
I have it roughed out with many cells filled in but I'm...

Only the iPhone 14 Pro models will have the "A16" chip, while the standard iPhone 14 models will retain the A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13, according to insightful Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
In a tweet, Kuo said that the 6.1-inch "iPhone 14 Pro" and the 6.7-inch "iPhone 14 Pro Max"...

Apple’s new M1 Ultra SoC, announced yesterday, appears to be a genuine breakthrough. The new M1 Ultra is made from two M1 Max chips and features a new GPU integration approach not seen in-market before. While the SoC contains two GPUs — one per M1 Max — games and applications running on an...
By no strings attached and throw it over the wall service I mean a type of scenario where once the negotiations are complete, contracts signed, files transferred, and money wired to their bank account, the entire team, including CEO, could take a year long vacation and expect wafers with enough...
I was reminiscing about the bright and early days of multi core computing, particularly about Intel’s first ’Nehalem’ chips back in the fall of 2008.
I couldn’t believe how few transistors those chips had compared to modern designs!
For example,
Intel i7-940 had 731 million transistors...
Hi everyone! This is my first post here.
I’ve been trying to understand how the process works, specifically the story of TSMC’s deal with Apple for their N5 production, where Apple reportedly booked the entire capacity for sometime. It seems that 13 months elapsed between risk production start...
