TYLsemi is set to offer pre-validated chiplets, along with custom ASIC design services, and build highly custom multi-tile processors at relatively low costs.
Etched has a simple pitch. Nvidia builds chips that do everything. Etched builds chips that do one thing, inference, and claims to do it far better. On Thursday the bet got a lot more money behind it. The startup raised $300 million in a Series C round…
The AI industry runs on Nvidia. A team at the University of Cambridge has just shown it does not have to. They have built a planetary-scale foundation model for the Earth, and every chip that trained and ran it came from AMD. The model is called TESSER…
The Nvidia chip at the centre of America’s export fight with China has a new home: a classroom in Monterey. The Naval Postgraduate School has stood up a DGX GB300 AI supercomputer, the first in the US military, Nextgov reported. The machine runs on Nvi…
Memory chips are the oil of the AI boom, and right now they are hard to get. So when Elon Musk used Tesla’s quarterly call to publicly thank Micron, it was worth noticing. Suppliers rarely get shout-outs. Scarce ones do. Micron recently gave Tesla a “s…
The gap between American and Chinese AI is closing fast. Chinese models narrowed the performance shortfall to a record-low 6% in June, down from 9% in May, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The research arm said the shift raises real questions about…
The model that rattled Silicon Valley last week now has Washington’s attention. A senior White House official has accused China’s Moonshot AI of breaking US export controls to build Kimi K3. It reached restricted Nvidia chips, he said, and leaned on Am…
Intel will design, package, and fabricate Fortinet’s sixth-generation Security Processor (SP6) on its Intel 4 node.
The two companies announced a strategic collaboration to build the Fortinet Security Processor 6, the custom silicon inside its FortiGate firewalls. Intel will handle the chip design, advanced packaging, and manufacturing. The first name on the list Th…
The pitch is bold for a seed round. Infinity says it can strip away the one advantage that has kept Nvidia untouchable. It has just raised money to try. The company closed a $15 million seed round at a $100 million valuation on Monday, it announced. Ba…
