Startup Cerebras will describe at Hot Chips the world’s largest semiconductor device, a 16nm wafer-sized processor array that aims to unseat Nvidia’s GPUs dominance in training neural networks. The whopping 46,225mm2 die consumes 15kW, packs 400,000 cores, and is running in a handful of systems with at least one unnamed customer.

Developers must comply with specific hardware,
software, and documentation requirements to guarantee both safe and
secure system performance under all operating
conditions. NXP’s automotive MCUs/MPUs are supported by the
SafeAssure® program to address these requirements, simplifying the
process of system compliance ....

IBM defined at Hot Chips a new interface for the 2020 version of its Power 9 CPUs. The Open Memory Interface (OMI) will enable packing on a server more main memory at higher bandwidth than DDR, and as a potential Jedec standard could rival GenZ and Intel’s CLX.
A few key dynamics are helping to accelerate the
progress of prosthetic technology across the globe now that previous
financial barriers being broken down and the potential for a far
broader cross section of society can now be supported...

Facial recognition is getting lots of attention here in the UK, as we’re seeing everything from the wacky to the scary. The wacky involves a bar equipped with facial recognition technology to help Brits order an estimated 78 million more pints of beer...
A two-day shut down of Hong Kong International Airport forced the cancellation of hundreds of passenger flights — and also caused a fair amount of anxiety in the electronics supply chain.
Today’s 8-bit MCUs still hold a large portion of
the overall microcontroller (MCU) market, despite competition and
strong market share gains from newer platforms like Arm Cortex-M
processors. Th...

The SoftBank Group said revenues for its microprocessor business Arm increased 9.7% year-on-year to $418 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2019, despite royalty revenue falling 8% due to dampening smartphone demand.
Would highly automated vehicles make driving safer? In principle, the answer is yes. But pitching autonomous vehicles (AVs) as a paragon for an accident-free future?
Wrong.

AMD is likely to claw more sockets back from Intel despite an uncertain server market with its second-generation Epyc launched today. The combination of the chip’s upgraded Zen x86 cores made in a 7nm TSMC process along with more PCIe and DRAM channels deliver more performance and I/O at less cost than Intel’s latest Xeon.
