4nm will have a hard time competing with Intel 18A and TSMC 3nm

Last week, AMD presented its AI, data center, and consumer plans for the next few years to financial and industry analysts. Despite the huge success in the data center market, partial success in AI, and a solid roadmap ahead, I wanted to share a shortcoming on the consumer roadmap, especially concerning 2026.

Old 2.5.6 version at the official Play store

The DJI Mimo Android application from Google Play store currently does not support the new Osmo Action 6 camera. This issue pertains specifically to version 2.5.6 available on the official Google Play Store

18A Architecture Revealed 50 percent faster CPU and GPU 

Intel’s Vice President and General Manager of PC Products Dan Rogers has shared with the audience at the Intel Technology Tour 2025 in Arizona that Panther Lake products will launch at CES 2026.

Over a few years, investment worth 500B

Nvidia is working with partners to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. Together with leading manufacturing partners, the company has commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space: facilities in Arizona will build and test NVIDIA Blackwell chips, while those in Texas will assemble the AI supercomputers. Jensen Huang is bringing some jobs back.

Tan's first big move

Intel Corporation's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan's first big move was to sell 51 percent of Altera to SilverLake at an $8.75 billion valuation. The company still retains 49 percent. Intel acquired Altera in 2015 for approximately $16.7 billion.

EPYC 5th Gen 3nm manufacturing in TSMC Arizona

AMD has made an important announcement regarding its EPYC data center CPUs. The company confirmed the successful tape-out of its CPU codenamed "Venice," which is part of the EPYC line.

A Year of Innovation

2024 proved to be a particularly exciting year for the mobile computing landscape, culminating in significant advancements even in the final days of December. This retrospective summarizes the standout mobile CPU products that shaped the year.

Andre Seznec, a star of branch prediction

After decades of dominance of X86 in the big core area, Arm cores from Arm, Apple, and now Qualcomm are making a big entrance to the market. As an alternative, it looks like SiFive, a leader in high-performance RISC-V cores is building a big core. It ought to be the highest performance Risc V core and a star engineer Andre Seznec has been hired as a Fellow to help out. Andre Seznec, a prominent figure with a branch prediction, has joined the company to help build the new core.

Great name for a dev computer

SiFive and generally RISC-V  are recently getting a lot of attention. With ARM and X86 well established in the market, many see RISC-V as a healthy alternative. The company is pacing out strongly as it stands out with its broad portfolio and being produced in silicon with billions of devices shipped,  from the many RISC-V competitors. Now the company announced the availability of the world’s highest performance RISC-V development board simply called SiFive HiFive Premier P550 board.
