Apple is generally known as a company that largely likes to rely on itself for both hardware and software, which is why they design their own phones, their own chipsets used in their own phones, their own software that runs their phones and their computers, and so on. This is […]
Read MoreIntel Foveros isn’t the name of a new chip, but rather a technology that will allow the chipmaker to bundle various vertical chip components, and thus improve the speed of devices without having to wait for a new chip manufacturing process to mature, like the 10nm chips that it keeps postponing. In other words, with […]

It’s been a little over a year since Intel made the Movidius Neural Compute Stick (previously codenamed Fathom) generally available. The $79 thumb drive — a metal dongle housing a system-on-chip purpose-built for accelerating machine learning algorithms — was the product of chipmaker Movidius, which Intel acquired in September 2016. […]

reader comments 3 Share this story Over the past 11 months, the processors running our computers, and in some cases phones, have succumbed to a host of attacks. Bearing names such as Meltdown and Spectre, BranchScope, TLBleed, and Foreshadow, the exploits threaten to siphon some of our most sensitive secrets—say passwords or cryptographic keys—out of […]
Read MoreQualcomm just accused Apple of giving its trade secrets to rival chipmaker Intel. The accusation is the latest in a round of legal troubles between Qualcomm and Apple. According to Qualcomm, the company has proof of these allegations against Apple but hasn’t publicly disclosed that proof yet. Despite the fact that the chipsets in iPhones […]
Read MoreThe plot just thickened yet again in the complex Apple vs. Qualcomm battle, as the latter has accused Apple of stealing “vast swaths” of its confidential information and trade secrets and then sharing code with Intel to improve the modems Intel made for Apple’s new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Qualcomm filed the […]

It takes about $10 billion or even $15 billion to build a brand new state-of-the-art chip manufacturing plant, and only a few companies in the world can amass the kind of expertise and capital to do it. Globalfoundries admitted yesterday it would no longer invest in a bleeding-edge 7-nanometer fabrication […]

The common narrative of artificial intelligence is that it finally took off in recent years when there was enough data — from mega repositories like Google — and enough computing power through racks of servers equipped with fast processors and GPUs. That’s not incorrect, but it’s too simplistic to describe […]
