Arm launches its next-generation flagship processor, the Cortex-X925, formerly Blackhawk. #ArmCortexX #ArmCortex #Arm #Armv9 #N3E

Waited like a whole month to meme this. lol #ArmCortex

Ya'all, I can't take it😂. Looking to the right of me and seeing @Patrick1Kennedy like this... send help 🤣😂

Similar slide by Siemens EDA. They announce verifications flow support for 18A.

This is, perhaps, the most important slide from Synopsys. This might not seem like a big deal to most people, but this is what makes or breaks your process - interface and IP support. Can't develop good xTors in a vacuum. #Intel18A

No idea why I like this so much; but he jokingly said he love the word Angstrom because...

Aart de Geus talks about Synopsys collab with Intel. Says their Intel 18A test chip is back and the results are "really good" (based on older 0.5PDK). Includong a high performers core. #Intel18A

Recreation of the classic Intel Bunny People Pentium commercial.

Chip

Intel announces Intel A14 node; shows wafer. They also announced a series of enhanced sub-nodes. Gelsinger announced a "lifetime deal value of $15B" for their Foundry business so far.

Intel Clearwater test chip taped out on Intel 18A.

Aim at being #2 Foundry by 2030. Aimed at being most resilient supply chain and sustainable.

At #Intel's Foundry event. It's now simply called Intel Foundry.

SK #IEDM2023 talk says they are pushing HBM4 16Hi proposal to utilize hybrid bonding w/ sub-20um bump.

Surprised to see a bunch of talks about hardware Zettascale design requirements at #IEDM2023 (Inc. by Intel&AMD). It seems they've all landed on a power envelope target of ~100-125 MW. Is that even realistic? That's 10EF/MW. Today we're hardly getting 150PF/MW #HPC

BTW, we are talking about 3-6 angstroms thick for those channels. This always comes up: yes carbon (1d/2d) is still well researched, still lots of stuff on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene but it's all a bit further out.

Over the years, there were lots of proposals for utilizing various novel 2d materials for constructing dense nanosheet channels with exceedingly good mobility. Practically all papers this year converged on Molybdenum disulfide for nMOS & Tungsten diselenide for pMOS #IEDM2023

Amazon recently announced the Graviton4 processor. Here are the deets.

Finally back in-person, this year #HotChips35 is at Dinkelspiel Auditorium and I was told it's 100% sold out. It's much smaller than the usual Memorial Auditorium where HC is usually held (due to construction).
