There is a vicious cycle that comes from screwing up, but there is also a virtuous cycle that comes from digging yourself out of the hole and not only not screwing up anymore, but catching up to and then leapfrogging the competition through good engineering, hard work, and a little luck. …
Technical debt is a real thing, as any IT manager, programmer, system administrator or SRE, or end user will tell you. …
It has taken eight years and $303 million in seed and three rounds of venture funding, but NextSilicon is today delivering several incarnations of its 64-bit dataflow engine, called Maverick-2, which was revealed this time last year when the company dropped out of stealth mode. …
Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank announced a $6.5 billion acquisition of Arm server CPU upstart Ampere Computing back in March, and that deal has not yet closed. …
Of all of the hyperscalers and cloud builders, Meta Platforms has always been the one that we expected to design and have manufactured its own CPU and XPU accelerator compute engines. …
Back at the end of July, we had a discussion with CPU maker AMD and the topic of conversation was hybrid cloud. …
As we talked about a decade ago in the wake of launching The Next Platform, quantum computers – at least the fault tolerant ones being built by IBM, Google, Rigetti, and a few others – need a massive amount of traditional Von Neumann compute to help maintain their state, assist with qubit error correction, and assist with their computations. …
With AMD having attaining more than 40 percent revenue share and more than 27 percent shipment share in the X86 server CPU market in the first half of 2025, that means two things. …
Just because the center of gravity for GenAI compute and other kinds of machine learning and data analytics has shifted from the CPU to the XPU accelerator – generally a GPU these days, but not universally – does not mean that the choice of the CPU for the system hosting those XPUs doesn’t matter. …
It is beginning to look like Intel plans to milk the impending 18A manufacturing process for a long time. …
