The next-generation AI architecture powers the H100 card and DGX-H100 system. The 700W flagship card triples peak performance over Ampere while adding FP8 support for more-efficient training.
Intel announced its first Agilex to copackage DRAM, sporting a pair of HBM2e stacks that deliver up to 32GB. It’s also using the Intel 7 process to further cut power dissipation.
The R-Car V4H is a new automotive system-on-chip for vehicles with extended ADAS capabilities. It addresses functional safety and the greater AI performance for Level 2+ driving.
In its sixth generation, PCI Express underwent the biggest changes since its debut in 2003, adopting PAM4 signaling. The new modulation enables data rates to reach 64Gbps per lane.
The ADAS-processor leader is developing a single-chip solution for self-driving cars, along with its own lidar and radars. By 2025, Mobileye hopes its system will reduce the car buyer’s add-on cost to just $10,000.
NeuPro-M, a licensable deep-learning accelerator, offers up to 16x faster inferencing than the previous generation thanks to its new architecture, Winograd modifications, and unstructured-sparsity engines.
Low-cost laptops get a graphics boost from AMD and Nvidia, which now offer their leading GPU architectures in low-power products that increase gaming frame rates and enable hardware ray tracing.
Startup Lightelligence recently took its first step toward commercialization by demonstrating a proof-of-concept device that stacks an electrical IC atop a photonic IC.
AMD’s new laptop processor, code-named Rembrandt, is the first PC processor with integrated hardware ray tracing. Its new RDNA2 GPU also doubles graphics performance relative to the previous generation.
