    News Samsung Foundry renames '3nm' process technology to '2nm' production node, following industry trends: Report

    Yeah, I agree. I'm just waiting for the industry to start using negative numbers. It's about as meaningless as any current naming scheme.

    News AMD's custom Instinct MI309 GPU for China fails export license test from U.S. government

    Yeah, I tend to agree except possibly for different reasons. China is still able to get high end kit from back channels and black markets for their important projects. This site had an article dated January 28th about a smuggling operation trying to import 53,000 chips in violation of...

    News Apple Vision Pro goes up to 1TB, uses M2 chip with 10-core GPU

    It's apple. People will buy it. I've seen some honest and less than honest reviews of the product. It seems conclusive, it is an impressive device, but currently is pretty limited as far as functionality. If I end up purchasing it, I'm waiting for version 3.11. They still have bugs to work...

    News Linux is the only OS to support diagonal PC monitor mode — dev champions the case for 22-degree-rotation computing

    Some developer really liked the Batman Tv show is all I can think of.

    News Nvidia CEO Jensen dishes out career tips for the fast-changing AI era

    I'm sure his assistants and handlers wear watches. Of course everyone has a phone on them that has the time but I'm sure I'm missing the point.

    Review Kinesis Advantage360 Review: Niche, Comfy Keys with a Steep Learning Curve

    This keyboard is actually pretty great. Do to a unrelated injury, I have wrist/hand issues when typing for long periods and this keyboard essentially solved them. Although, much of this can be attributed moving most of the pinky reaching to the thumb keys. If the price is to high or you...

    News Tachyum, long on wild performance claims and short on actual silicon, delays the Prodigy Universal processor to the second half of 2024 — meme chip...

    So basically an entirely different chip then the one announced in 2018. Not holding my breath on this one.

    News AWS and Nvidia build a supercomputer with 16,384 Superchips, Team Up for Generative AI Infrastructure

    That's a fair question. I just read a NY times and MIT article where AI is expected to exceed AC units as the largest single source requiring as much as 21 percent of the grid by 2030, which would likely be higher that projected EV consumption as well. Google AI/data centers already use more...

    News Lawsuit accuses Nvidia of stealing trade secrets — perpetrator busted with a screenshot of stolen code

    Doing work at work? What, were you born in the 20th century or something?

    News Ventana's 192-Core RISC-V CPU Takes Aim At AMD Epyc Genoa And Bergamo

    It's possible but yuck. Reminds me of Transmeta. Given Apple did a better job when they transitioned to the arm instruction set but they have control of the whole ecosystem and even then it wasn't without its problems and was always a good deal slower than native. I don't think this is...

    News Russia Aims to Mass Produce 28nm Chips by 2027, 14nm by 2030

    I highly, highly, highly, doubt it will be anywhere near that time frame. Even if by some miracle that's true, it will still take them time get the machines in working order and to produce enough to ship to Russia, that's simply not going to happen not by 2027, realistically not by 2037 either...

    News RISC-V Responds to U.S. Lawmakers: Open Standards Are Important

    I know. Sorry, if sounded like debating something. That wasn't my intention.

    News RISC-V Responds to U.S. Lawmakers: Open Standards Are Important

    Perhaps but China has never cared about legally purchasing software, or patents and they're really good at stealing tech. I just don't see this genie going back in the bottle.

    News Russia Aims to Mass Produce 28nm Chips by 2027, 14nm by 2030

    Without EUV that would by quite a feat.

    News RISC-V Responds to U.S. Lawmakers: Open Standards Are Important

    I'm curious. The designs and documentation are already out in the open and the entire world has access. How exactly do restrict that?
