In-depth coverage of the latest Chip Design & Architecture developments, trends, and analysis — curated daily.
Picture this: your rig's heart pounding with AMD's fastest gaming CPU, all for under a grand. Newegg's bundling the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with premium parts—steal of the year, or just hype?
Picture this: 32GB of speedy Corsair DDR5 for pocket change in a bundle that packs a gaming CPU monster and MSI's absurdly loaded Godlike board. But at $1,625, is it a bargain or a brag?
If you're juggling apps all day on a budget, that shiny M3 MacBook Pro might not launch them as fast as a Windows rival anymore. One tester's simple benchmark flips the snappiness script.
Arm's finally baking its own server CPUs — the AGI chip for AI datacenters. But who's really winning here: Meta, SoftBank, or the same old licensees?
A decade ago, x86 powered 90% of top supercomputers. Now? Just 57%. Arm and challengers are rewriting the rules.
Picture this: a cluster of silicon brains churning through physics simulations that normally hog supercomputers — all on a fraction of the juice. Sandia's latest hack on Intel's neuromorphic tech just made that real.
Everyone figured video codecs were maturing into irrelevance—AV1's free ride killing premiums. Then Chips&Media's CEO drops claims of 3 billion chips shipped. Hype or hardware hero?
AWS chips hit a $50 billion annual run rate. CEO Andy Jassy's letter reveals near-sold-out AI capacity and customers begging for every Graviton server.
Your phone's CPU can't handle tomorrow's AI alone. Enter co-processors, the specialized sidekicks evolving faster than ever to power the agentic future.
Google's doubling down on Intel's SmartNICs—aka IPUs—for its datacenters. It's a pragmatic move in the AI era, but whispers of Arm's rise linger.
Everyone figured edge AI would live or die by NPUs and GPUs. Wrong. NXP's Arteris NoC expansion reveals the interconnect as the silent killer of performance — and the key to tomorrow's centralized brains.
SiFive just hauled in $400 million, betting big on RISC-V CPUs to run the brains of agentic AI. Sounds promising—until you poke at the power-hungry reality of data centers.
