With the expansion of the RA8 series, Renesas is integrating Arm’s highest-performing Cortex-M CPU in microcontrollers optimized for graphics display and motor control applications.
In the Meteor Lake CPU die, Intel has pushed the capacitance density of on-die capacitors to new heights by taking a page out of DRAM’s book of tricks.
Arm’s new Neoverse CSS N3 and CSS V3 provide a subsystem for N3 and V3 cores. For customers that won’t differentiate in that subsystem, the CSSs provide a head start.
The DA14592 is Renesas’s smallest multicore BLE SoC, featuring a power-thrifty radio transceiver that drops power by more than 23% for send and receive compared with Renesas’s other BLE chips.
NeuReality, an Israeli startup, is building an offload engine for AI-application pre- and postprocessing that removes the need for a CPU in a server and works directly with an accelerator.
Edge-AI vendor BrainChip has updated its Akida event-based IP offering. Its new Akida 2 architecture, available only as IP, supports temporal networks and Transformer encoders at low power.
As Pat Gelsinger begins his fourth year as CEO, three projects to revitalize Intel’s fabs, CPUs, and AI accelerators could restore its technology lead, but they won’t reach the market until 2025.
Intel’s fifth-generation Xeon family shows solid performance improvements over the prior generation, but not enough to beat its nemesis on core count or performance.
Renesas’s RZ/G3S targets IoT gateway systems, dropping camera inputs, display processing, and other graphic elements while retaining basic audio support.
With the first desktop processors to integrate a dedicated AI inference engine and dramatically better graphics, AMD hopes to give PC enthusiasts a reason to upgrade.
The new Ara2 neural-processor unit (NPU) from Kinara, which means edge in Hindi, provides an 8× increase in performance over the first-generation chip and can run large language workloads.
Intel, TSMC, and Samsung all presented papers on complementary transistors (CFETs) at the 2023 International Electron Devices Meeting. The results were successful enough that CFETs now have a place on the industry’s technology roadmap.
