Competing in the semiconductor industry is often a game of chess, placing long term bets several moves ahead that culminate for a winning strategy. The announcement of AMD entering into an agreement to acquire adaptive computing powerhouse Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction, is a proverbial case study in Silicon Valley power moves. The transaction will be immediately accretive to AMD margins, cashflow and EPS, but what’s more interesting to me is the technology that Xilinx brings to the table, as well as the substantial market impact the combined companies could have.

Whenever Microsoft rolls out a large update for Windows, there are inevitable reports of problems. As much as Microsoft takes flack for these issues, the fact is Windows has to support a near infinite number of hardware and software combinations, which makes it impossible to test every one of them.

If you understand what the Surface Pro X is all about and the prospect of a silent, thin, light convertible PC with solid battery life is intriguing, it’s worth checking out. You may be surprised by what it can do.

In short, NVIDIA’s new DRIVE platform will kick Mercedes-Benz into a much-needed higher gear in the race for autonomous driving, giving chase to Tesla and many others.

Foveros goes beyond traditional 3D stacking to enable logic-on-logic integration, which will work with virtually all high-performance circuits, like CPU cores, GPUs, and AI accelerators, for example. Foveros allows Intel to leverage different IP, potentially manufactured on different process nodes, on a single, small chip.

It will be incumbent upon benchmark app developers and the press to sort through the finer points of what makes for a quality mobile AI benchmark, and also what is a truer measure of performance for your own personal pocket AI assistant.

Following on the heels of Microsoft’s own Surface Pro X launch — a classic detachable 13-inch Surface device that’s powered by a semi-custom version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx — Samsung stepped out in an effort to offer an even more premium laptop experience at a more competitive price point, in a traditional clamshell design, branded the Galaxy Book S.
