‘The socket is becoming the motherboard’ — how a Samsung-backed startup wants to change computing forever by integrating everything in an elegant packaging to tackle the AI beast once and for all

Many system designers are exploring chiplet-based SiPs that move beyond the limitations and costs of huge single-die implementations, but which depend heavily on silicon interposers as substrates for mounting and interconnecting the dies.  Silicon interposers deliver a higher data rate than organic substrates, but are not without drawbacks. They are costly, proprietary and limit the … Read more

Samsung is going after Nvidia’s billions with new AI chip — Mach-1 accelerator will combine CPU, GPU and memory to tackle inference tasks but not training

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch its own AI accelerator chip, the ‘Mach-1’, in a bid to challenge Nvidia‘s dominance in the AI semiconductor market.  The new chip, which will likely target edge applications with low power consumption requirements, will go into production by the end of this year and make its debut in early … Read more

Training AI to use System 2 thinking to tackle more complex tasks

Artificial intelligence seems to be on the brink of another significant transformation nearly every week at the moment, and this week is no exception. As developers, businesses and researchers  dive deeper into the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, we’re beginning to see a shift in how these systems tackle complex problems. The … Read more
