“General purpose processors are not progressing at the rate they used to,” Friedmann said, referring to CPU performance. “Current processing units aren’t designed to manage today’s workload ...

These chip startups are working on everything from general-purpose processors that can outperform Intel’s and AMD’s latest to accelerators that can speed up AI and deep learning workloads.

Instead of going through the effort of designing a chip that could only be used for a calculator, Hoff made a general-purpose processor that executed a calculator program, but like a computer ...

Two companies have announced photonic devices that could solve specific real-world problems faster and with less energy than conventional computers.

The field of AI is notoriously filled with jargon. To better understand what is going on, here is a series of explainers, ...

Eventually the phone switch was abandoned in favor of a general-purpose processor but not before they stumbled onto the RISC processor which eventually became the IBM 801. As [Paul] explains ...

These processors combine a graphics and neural processor on a single chip. This consolidation can allow an NPU to use the general-purpose capabilities of a GPU to accelerate AI calculations beyond ...
