The rumor in this case comes from Inpact Hardware who reportedly received information from AMD sources claiming that they were planning an HBM variant of their upcoming Zen 4 base architecture EPYC Genoa server processors. Although we have learned a lot about processors Genoa ‘standard’, this would be the first time we’ve heard of incorporating ...
Intel has always been the third in contention when it comes to GPUs, after all that’s not their core business and it’s about something more than what they do that are CPUs. Although in recent years they have increased their resources and have a series of gaming GPUs on the starting ramp. However, its architecture ...
In this article we are not going to deal with a specific GPU architecture, but that of all in general and so when you see the scheme that manufacturers usually launch on the organization of their next GPU you can understand it without problem. It doesn’t matter if it’s an integrated or dedicated GPU and ...
Over time, programs have to go faster and faster, but at the same time, CPUs and GPUs have become complexity giants where it is very difficult to increase performance in the traditional way. The future solution to this problem? Domain-specific accelerators First, the concept of the accelerator Since the dawn of computing, carrier chips have ...
VLIW type processors have a number of advantages and disadvantages over other processors and have not only been used in processors, but also as shader units for GPUs and also in DSPs. Today, VLIW designs seem to have disappeared from PC hardware, but they remain a valid option in designing new processors for different areas ...
In fact, if there is a known ARM design, it is big little, consisting of a heterogeneous architecture made up of larger and more powerful cores to perform demanding tasks and other smaller, low-power cores to save power when the equipment does not require a lot of power. This architecture has been implemented in smartphone ...
The new Sony console, unlike Microsoft’s, comes in two different models on the market. The first model costing 400 dollars does not have a BluRay player and is called Digital Edition, so it can only play games in digital form. The second is the standard PlayStation 5 which has this type of drive and costs ...
The NVIDIA Lovelace architecture will not be released until 2022, using the TSMC 5nm node, although this last detail is not yet assured, as it has also been speculated with the TSMC 7nm node for the current RTX 3000 and at the end NVIDIA has makes use of Samsung’s 8nm node. In any case, for ...
Whenever Intel® announces the availability of new processors, in this case for area-oriented desktop configurations the game, many users ask themselves the following question: is it worth updating my PC? Generational leaps go hand in hand with advances in microarchitecture and the chip manufacturing process, alternating the two so that the manufacturer can improve the ...
Rocket Lake is actually nothing more than a lake of ice, but with the main difference that Intel designed it so that it can be manufactured under its 14nm node, which is surprising, because the fact of ‘using one node or another is not something simple and requires the complete overhaul of the whole chip, ...
