In-depth coverage of the latest Chip Design & Architecture developments, trends, and analysis — curated daily.
Imagine zapping a running CPU with invisible rays and watching its transistors twitch in real time. That's the wild new trick researchers just pulled off with terahertz radiation — and yeah, it could let hackers steal secrets without touching the chip.
Everyone figured liquid cooling ruled supreme. Then one mad genius built a fan dome that crushes temps by 20°C—without the leaks or pumps.
A leaked SKU list just surfaced, showing Intel's Nova Lake packing 52 cores and massive cache to dethrone AMD's 3D V-Cache kings. But is this the architectural pivot Intel desperately needs?
Computing with photons instead of electrons: the emerging field of photonic processors promises orders-of-magnitude improvements in speed and energy efficiency for specific workloads.
AI chips aren't dying from compute shortages—they're choking on data traffic. NoC is the unsung hero redesigning the future of silicon brains.
India's semiconductor dreams are taking root, not in Silicon Valley-style fabrication plants, but in the minds of its designers. IndieSemiC and Kaynes are spearheading this wave.
The AI gold rush is hitting a wall, and chipmakers are quietly scrambling. Intel and SambaNova's latest move isn't just another partnership; it's a pragmatic pivot away from the GPU-only playbook.
Arm's ambition to capture a $1 trillion total addressable market means it's no longer just a neutral IP provider. The implications for its customers, and the rise of RISC-V, are seismic.
The silent PC market just got a lot louder – visually, at least. Kubb's new Mini PCs, powered by Intel's Twin Lake chips, arrive in a rainbow of hues, challenging the drab aesthetic of passive cooling.
The silicon is ready, the apps are trickling in, but the laptops running Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite are hitting the market with a price tag that could choke an ecosystem before it truly breathes.
Everyone figured Apple's M5 chips would dominate laptops with effortless efficiency. But ASUS's Zenbook A16, powered by Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, flips the script with superior cooling that delivers real sustained performance—exposing Apple's thermal shortcomings.
India's National Supercomputing Mission delivered 37 beasts totaling 39 petaFLOPS. Yet the real story? Homegrown tech hovers frustratingly short of true independence.
