[ad_1] The Cortex-A77 CPU design is ultimately a refinement of last year’s 7-nanometer A76, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The new hardware claims 20 percent faster instructions-per-clock performance without hurting efficiency, and that translates to roughly 35 times faster machine learning performance than the old A55 (for context, ARM was celebrating a 28-fold […]

[ad_1] You can expect “multiple” 10nm chips throughout 2019 and 2020, including a general-purpose GPU, server-side processors and specialized parts like the AI-oriented Nervana. You’ll have to wait a while for the leap to 7nm. The first product based on the smaller and denser technology, an Xe-based general-purpose GPU, isn’t due until 2021. At least […]

No Comments on NVIDIA joins Intel in bidding war for major Israeli chip maker

[ad_1] Mellanox and Intel have declined to comment, while NVIDIA wasn’t available for comment on the weekend. Xilinx is also believed to be involved in the bidding, but Reuters believed that NVIDIA is close enough that it could unveil a deal as soon as March 11th. While the exact reasons for a potential deal aren’t […]
