Scientists crammed video projection into a chip the size of a pinhead, blasting 68 million light spots per second. Quantum salvation? Or the kind of trick that never leaves the lab?
Agentic AI isn't just software smarts — it's rewriting the rules of silicon. A holistic chip design approach is the key to unleashing its true power.
Staring down Intel's latest Arrow Lake refresh, the Core Ultra 270K tempts with power. Too bad the rest of your PC build wants to bankrupt you.
Broadcom just dropped its 400G/lane optical DSP, the Taurus BCM83640, claiming it supercharges AI networks. Twenty years in the Valley, and I've seen these 'revolutions' before—let's cut through the spin.
What if your prized 486 DX2-66 suddenly can't boot the latest Linux anymore? Kernel 7.1 is drawing a line in the sand on 35-year-old silicon.
Three instruction set architectures dominate computing. Here is how RISC-V, ARM, and x86 differ in design, ecosystem, and real-world applications.
