Arriving in the first half of 2023, NVIDIA’s Grace Superchips will become part of a building inertia with respect to the highly scalable ArmV9 architecture in the data center, and give legacy x86 a run for its money.

Built into in the CHIPS and Science Act is approximately $52.7 billion designated for the American semiconductor industry. Of that number, roughly $39 billion is earmarked for manufacturing incentives, including $2 billion for already-designed chips currently used in automobiles and defense systems. Another $13.2 billion is targeted at R&D and workforce development, with an additional $500 million destined for international information communications technology security and semiconductor supply chain activities.

Today’s smartphones also have unmatched computational photography capabilities, thanks to processors like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon mobile platform, which has a significant amount of silicon resources dedicated specifically for image and video processing.

Wireless headsets and glasses are the better path to the metaverse to implement augmented reality, virtual reality or XR (Extended Reality) the right way. But wireless virtual realities are not easy problems to solve.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision have become and ever increasing part of our daily lives, both personally and professionally. Vision AI permeates everything from assembly line manufacturing to video chats, and touches our daily activities in many ways. As such, there is currently an immense demand for developers in the field.

Recently, I was able to not only go under the hood of an Intel Arc Graphics reference platform laptop from one of its OEM partners, but I can also now share with you an extensive array of performance metrics as well.

Qualcomm just announced some new updates to its processor line-up that target a couple of key market segments. The freshly minted Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 targets top-tier, premium Android devices, while the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 focuses on more mainstream, gaming-centric devices.

Qualcomm gave me a new perspective on freedom last week at its 5G Summit in San Diego, with its new Wireless AR Smart Viewer reference design glasses. And just like the many vistas in that sunny California town, the view was quite nice.

Ryzen 6000U is probably the company’s best chance in many years, perhaps ever, to take share from Intel in a product segment its chief rival has had a stranglehold on for what seems like forever.

As the metaverse becomes a larger part of the enterprise, business, and our personal lives, the need to ensure high-speed, reliable and secure wireless communications into the metaverse – across the globe –becomes increasingly more important. To that end, AMD has just announced that its recently acquired Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC is being used in the development of multiple Evenstar radio units (RUs).

At is Vision 2022 event, currently underway in Grapevine, Texas, Intel unveiled the latest new additions to its mobile processor line-up, targeted squarely at the high-performance mobile workstation and extreme gaming laptop segments. Intel’s new 12th Gen Alder Lake-HX processors build upon the company’s current mobile line-up, by adding more cores and features…

Today at its annual 5G Summit in San Diego, Qualcomm announced it has achieved a significant milestone in the evolution of 5G wireless network connectivity and the future of wireless broadband services everywhere.

Announced in collaboration with Microsoft, Synopsys Cloud will give customers access to Synopsys’ cloud-optimized, AI-infused design tools, on optimized infrastructure in Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform.

Though Intel is preparing a full onslaught of discrete GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) this year, based on its scalable Arc Alchemist architecture that can address powerful desktop PC to mobile applications, the company is stepping out first with a low power offering for laptops.

AI and the metaverse seemingly go hand-in-hand, but NVIDIA is clearly all-in on both emerging markets and their enabling technologies.

Chip design tools bellwether, Synopsys, is making great strides at harnessing machine learning in many areas of chip design. The latest AI-fueled innovation Synopsys has on tap is Silicon Remastering of legacy chips in newer, more modern chip fab processes.

At Mobile World Congress, currently underway is Barcelona, Spain, Lenovo unveiled an array of new devices spanning multiple product segments, including tablets, Chromebooks, displays, gaming devices and laptops. As the world begins to re-open and opportunities to travel become more common once again, one particular product – the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s – seems particularly well-targeted.

Based on the Wi-Fi 7 standard, Qualcomm’s FastConnect 7800 will deliver peak speeds of 5.8Gbps and sub-2 millisecond latency, with High Band Simultaneous (HBS) Multi-Link technology for link aggregation, and a huge performance lift at half the latency of previous generation WiFi-6/6E solutions.

The Nubia RedMagic 7 is powered by Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform processor. Despite the device’s killer performance, however, pricing starts at only $629.

This morning AMD announced it completed its acquisition of Silicon Valley adaptable computing powerhouse, Xilinx.
