Ampere has announced a new 256-core, 3 nm AmpereOne processor and an AI collaboration with Qualcomm. Ampere’s efficiency focus may not be enough against competitors and for cloud giants building their own chips. Arm’s ascendancy in computing suggests Ampere consider a niche beyond data centers. continue reading
Google unveils the Trillium TPU, its next-gen AI chip (NPU) that features larger MXU matrix units to boost throughput and updated SparseCores to handle embeddings. continue reading
I’ve joined the SHD Group to produce an edge-AI report. Intended to be a resource for both product developers and technology suppliers, it will detail processors integrating AI, accelerators, software, and services and deliver insights into edge AI application requirements. We’re partnering with the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, and our research dovetails with recent… continue reading
Arm may design and sell AI chips, targeting production by 2025. Directed by majority shareholder SoftBank Group, the move is risky. Selling chips is less likely to succeed than licensing AI IP, which Arm already does, and won’t alienate Arm’s customers. continue reading
Some guy is accomplishing generative AI using a Commodore 64. His BASIC code generates sprites, the tiny character images eight-bit games use. continue reading
