Clocks Getting Skewed Up
The clock network is complex, critical to performance, but often it’s treated as an afterthought. Getting this wrong can ruin your chip.
CXL And OMI: Competing Or Complementary?
It depends on whom you ask, but there are advantages to both.
Power Now First-Order Concern In More Markets
No longer a separate set of requirements, designers are prioritizing both power and performance in markets where performance has been the main goal.
Improving Memory Efficiency And Performance
CXL and OMI will facilitate memory sharing and pooling, but how well and where they work best remains debatable.
Why Comparing Processors Is So Difficult
Some designs focus on power, while others focus on sustainable performance, cost, or flexibility. But choosing the best option for an application based on benchmarks is becoming more difficult.
Robots Become More Useful In Factories
Automation includes increasing number and variety of bots as chips become more capable and cost of entry drops.
