Hello you fine Internet folks,I did an audio interview with Ravi Subramanian from Synopsys where we talked about the physics that goes into chip design and EDA tools.Ravi SubramanianHope y'all enjoy!The transcript below has been edited for conciseness and

Hello you fine Internet folks,NVIDIA has published a 45-page whitepaper explaining Vera, its first server CPU built around the company's own Olympus core. On paper, Vera is a fascinating chip with an 88-core monolithic compute die, Olympus being a 10-wide

Arm's 5-series cores are meant for tasks where performance barely matters, but power and area efficiency are top priorities. Because they're less performance sensitive, 5-series cores tend to be superseded less often than their more sophisticated counterp

Hello you fine Internet folks,Today we are talking about one of the stranger x86 stories I have seen in a while. According to both SemiAccurate and Reuters, Intel is giving a new startup called RosaicLabs access to the register transfer language code for

Hello you fine Internet folks, Today we are over AMD's Advancing AI 2026 event to chit chat on their newly revealed CDNA5 architecture with Alan Smith! AMD's Corporate Fellow and Chief Architect for Datacenter GPUs. Hope y'all enjoy!The transcript below h

Editor's Note (7/25/2026): The article has been edited with more information about the L2 behavior along with the bandwidth of the die to die interface.Hello you fine Internet folks, here at AMD's Advancing AI event we are looking at AMD's brand new Insti

Hello you fine Internet folks, this article is a sequel to the Scrying the AMD GFX1250 LLVM Tea Leaves article where we are going to look at the differences between GFX1250 and GFX1251.So if you want to know what GFX1250 is changing compared to the prior

In just a few short days, AMD will be showing off their brand new MI400 series of Datacenter Accelerators at their Advancing AI event but before that event comes, we thought it would be fun to attempt to scry the tea leaves that are LLVM commits to see wh

CPU designs must evolve to keep up with changing workloads. Sometimes, that evolution involves extending the instruction set to efficiently represent certain types of work. Intel's AMX extension is one such example. AMX accelerates matrix multiplication f
