Chip technology design maker Imagination Technologies plans to lay off 20% of the company's staff, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Nvidia has become synonymous with AI, AMD will need to "step up its game" to better compete in this space.

At Hot Chips 34, a new player entered the high-performance GPU market.

A sharp drop in graphic chip prices could presage an unexpectedly quick ending to a global chip crunch that has crippled manufacturing from smartphones to cars, and the issue will be a central one for companies reporting results this week.

"They're interested in us using their foundries," said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang regarding Intel, during a virtual press conference on Wednesday. "We're very interested in exploring it."

Apple is adding "one last chip" to the M1 processor family. The M1 Ultra is a new design that uses "UltraFusion" technology to strap two M1 Max chips together, resulting in a huge processor that offers 16 high-performance CPU cores, four efficiency cores, a 64-core integrated GPU, and support for up to 128GB of RAM.

Tianshu Zhixin said in January that BI was made using an unidentified 7nm process node and 2.5D chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) packaging. On Wednesday, it confirmed our suspicion that BI was made using TSMC's 7nm FinFET process.

From bad to worse

TSMC is reportedly struggling to keep up with demand

2021 will be full of console and GPU shortages

Ready for prime time

Samsung says the fruits of its partnership with AMD should appear next year.

It's not great news

The latest version of Nvidia's flagship A100 server GPU packs twice as much high-speed memory as its predecessor.

Acer, ASUS and Dell are among the first with the dedicated GPU.

October 8th for CPUs and October 28th for GPUs

CEO Jensen Huang will kick things off with a keynote.

Xe LP graphics in Tiger Lake laptops are only the first part of the story.

Arm, the world's leading supplier of CPU and GPU designs, just announced that it plans to transfer the IoT Services Group (ISG), which includes the IoT Platform and Treasure Data teams, to its parent company SoftBank.

Nvidia's new A100 flagship GPU is powering a new family of Google cloud computing instances -- including one that provides access to 16 GPUs.

The updates to Nvidia's vGPU software could help organizations remotely leverage virtual reality or better collaborate on computer-aided design.

Sony's new console can output 10.28 teraflops.

And it'll reach up to 5GHz with an i9 processor.

Nvidia and VMware today announced their intent to deliver accelerated GPU services for VMware Cloud on AWS to power modern enterprise applications, including AI, machine learning and data analytics workflows.

AMD's new Navi RX 5700 graphics cards are great additions to the current GPU market, offering performance that strikes at the heart of Nvidia's midrange. For something that competes with top-tier cards such as the RTX 2080 Super and 2080 Ti, though, we'll have to wait until next year. But when the summer of 2020 rolls around, we could be in for something special, as AMD is working on a card that some internal staffers are calling the "Nvidia Killer."

Nvidia executive vice president of operations Debora Shoquist said in a statement that "recent reports are incorrect - Nvidia's next-generation GPU will continue to be produced at TSMC. Nvidia already uses both TSMC and Samsung for manufacturing, and we plan to use both foundries for our next-generation GPU products."

Nvidia Korea chief Yoo Eung-joon said that its production of advanced GPUs will be conducted by Samsung Electronics with its 7-nanometer extreme ultraviolet process.

Nvidia looks set to respond to AMD's upcoming Navi generation of graphics cards with some tweaks to its existing GPU lineup.

This is the latest report from Jon Peddie Research on the GPUs used in PCs. It is reporting on the results of Q2'18 GPU shipments worldwide. Overall GPU shipments decreased -1.5% from last quarter, AMD decreased -12.3%, Nvidia decreased -7% and Intel, increased 3%.

$1,199 for Nvidia's fastest GeForce card

The compute accelerator is optimized for graphics-intensive applications and machine learning inference.

Samsung reportedly sniffed around AMD and Nvidia as potential GPU suppliers, but nothing came of it. Now it may follow in the footsteps of Apple and have design the second major component of a chipset in-house.

Intel wants to compete with AMD's Radeon and Nvidia's GeForce products

Nvidia may not be talking about its GeForce Partner Program, but AMD has gone from silent to proactive in less than 24 hours. Hours ago Scott Herkelman, Corporate VP and General Manager of AMD Radeon Gaming, addressed AMD resellers via Twitter, not only acknowledging the anti-competitive tactics Nvidia has leveraged against them, but inviting others to share their stories.

The Chinese owners of Imagination Technologies have drafted in a microchip industry veteran from a Beijing-backed technology conglomerate, after buying the British company last year.

SK Hynix has just made their next generation GDDR6 memory available to customers which can include graphics card manufacturers such as Nvidia and AMD.

Built on 10nm process technology, the new GDDR6 memory comes in a 16Gb density, which doubles that of the company's 20nm 8Gb GDDR5 memory.

When Intel and AMD announced they'd be cooperating on a new CPU with an Intel processor paired with an AMD GPU, it was easy to see who the loser was going to be. Nvidia has a dominant overall position in the GPU market, including the types of all-in-one and small form factor systems that might opt for one of Intel's new CPUs with Radeon RX Vega graphics rather than an Intel CPU with Nvidia GPU. Now, there's hints that Nvidia is planning to respond with a new GPU iteration of its own: The GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.

NVIDIA has announced plans to cease developing drivers supporting 32-bit operating systems for any GPU architecture in the near future. All NVIDIA GPU drivers published after the release 390 (due in early 2018) will only support x86-64 OSes. The decision marks an important milestone in the transition of the PC industry to 64-bit computing that has been ongoing for over a decade, but may upset some of the users who still run older machines or those that require drivers for embedded systems.
