Samsung Debuts The Industry's First GDDR7 Memory Chips

Vol 304 · Issue 3 · 2023-07-19

On Wednesday, Samsung announced that it has completed the development of the industry's first GDDR7 DRAM, the next generation of graphics memory that will feature in future computing, vehicle, and gaming hardware releases. The company's key partners can expect to install the new chips into their next-gen systems later this year for testing. If all goes well, we could see products running Samsung's GDDR7 memory hitting the market sometime next year.

Google Gives A Peek At What A Quantum Computer Can Do

Vol 304 · Issue 3 · 2023-07-18

Four years ago, Google engineers boasted of achieving 'quantum supremacy' following experiments that showed its 53-qubit Sycamore quantum system solving problems that classical supercomputers either can't or take a very long time to accomplish. At the time, Google was slapped around by rivals in the quantum space, with competitors like IBM saying the job undertaken wasn't overly complex and could be solved by a traditional system, though it may take longer.

PCI-Express Must Match The Cadence Of Compute Engines And Networks

Vol 304 · Issue 1 · 2023-07-07

When system architects sit down to design their next platforms, they start by looking at a bunch of roadmaps from suppliers of CPUs, accelerators, memory, flash, network interface cards - and PCI-Express controllers and switches. And the switches are increasingly important in system designs that have a mix of compute and memory types and for clusters that will be sharing components like accelerators and memory.

The M4 Robot Transforms To Roll, Fly And Walk Across Various Terrains

Vol 304 · Issue 1 · 2023-07-03

If you've followed robots with any frequency, you've no doubt encountered the wheel versus leg debate. Why, for instance, should a warehouse opt for a legged Digit robot instead of a rolling Locus system? The explosive popularity of drones has led to similar debates with flying. Recent interest in inventory automation has prompted similar debates between UAVs and rolling systems when it comes to dealing with tall shelves.

AI And Moore's Law: It's The Chips, Stupid

Vol 303 · Issue 2 · 2023-06-15

Moore's Law, which began with a random observation by the late Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that transistor densities on silicon substrates were doubling every 18 months, has over the intervening 60+ years been both borne-out yet also changed from a lithography technical feature to an economic law.

AMD Widens Server Cpu Line To Take Bites Out Of Intel, Arm

Vol 303 · Issue 2 · 2023-06-14

The best defense is a good offense, and as it turns out, the best offense is also a good offense. So while AMD is all polite-like in its presentations, rest assured that with the ever enwidening and embiggening Epyc server chip lineup, AMD is absolutely meaning to bring offense to Intel, the Arm collective, and any RISC-V upstarts that think it is a pushover.
