Sixteen startups attracted funding rounds of nine figures in November.
How good are standard FPGAs for AI purposes, and how different will dedicated FPGA-based devices be from them?
Next-gen litho is important for scaling, but it’s also expensive and potentially risky.
More nodes and alternative memories are in the works, but schedules remain murky.
Hydrogen fuel cells will play a role in the transportation ecosystem of the future, but how large a role hinges on infrastructure and application-specific demand.
New approaches to managing and processing data emerge, along with standard ways to compare them.
Why Intel, AMD, Arm, and IBM are focusing on architectures, microarchitectures, and functional changes.
Marvell & NAV Alliance; drone bill; Hyundai’s $35B plan; Intel’s edge play; 7nm certifications.
September was spectacular for startups, as 27 tech companies raised $100 million or more, taking in a total of $7.1 billion during the month.
ML will augment existing manufacturing processes, but it won’t replace them.
New approaches aim to drive down cost, boost benefits of heterogeneous integration.
New architectures, different markets and more variables make it increasingly difficult to design and verify low-power chips.
Moving large amounts of data around a system is no longer the path to success. It is too slow and consumes too much power. It is time to flip the equation.
