Finally back in-person, this year #HotChips35 is at Dinkelspiel Auditorium and I was told it's 100% sold out. It's much smaller than the usual Memorial Auditorium where HC is usually held (due to construction).

Amazon recently announced the Graviton4 processor. Here are the deets. fuse.wikichip.org/news/7633/amaz…

Up early for day1 of #IEDM2023 before the chaos.

Surprised to see a bunch of talks about hardware Zettascale design requirements at #IEDM2023 (Inc. by Intel&AMD). It seems they've all landed on a power envelope target of ~100-125 MW. Is that even realistic? That's 10EF/MW. Today we're hardly getting 150PF/MW #HPC

SK #IEDM2023 talk says they are pushing HBM4 16Hi proposal to utilize hybrid bonding w/ sub-20um bump.

Intel announces Intel A14 node; shows wafer. They also announced a series of enhanced sub-nodes. Gelsinger announced a "lifetime deal value of $15B" for their Foundry business so far.

Recreation of the classic Intel Bunny People Pentium commercial.

Aart de Geus talks about Synopsys collab with Intel. Says their Intel 18A test chip is back and the results are "really good" (based on older 0.5PDK). Includong a high performers core. #Intel18A

No idea why I like this so much; but he jokingly said he love the word Angstrom because...

This is, perhaps, the most important slide from Synopsys. This might not seem like a big deal to most people, but this is what makes or breaks your process - interface and IP support. Can't develop good xTors in a vacuum. #Intel18A

Similar slide by Siemens EDA. They announce verifications flow support for 18A.

Ya'all, I can't take it😂. Looking to the right of me and seeing Patrick J Kennedy like this... send help 🤣😂
