IBM closing its R&D units in China, ASML being threatened with long-term exclusion, US semi sales overtaking China's, Intel’s 18A process, China outspending everyone on semiconductor manufacturing equipment...
There's a Gartner forecast for semiconductor sales, the NovoSat lightweight, dual-port, L Band antenna, IBM debuting the first in a new series of utility-scale quantum processors, Broadcom's novel on-chip, neural-network inference engine called NetGNT, and a guide to optimising energy efficiency in low power wireless technologies...
IBM has debuted ‘IBM Quantum Heron,’ the first in a new series of utility-scale quantum processors with an architecture engineered over the past four years to deliver IBM’s highest performance metrics and lowest error rates of any IBM Quantum processor to date. IBM also unveiled IBM Quantum System Two, the company’s first modular quantum computer and cornerstone of IBM’s quantum-centric ...
IBM has revealed an analogue in-memory IC for implementing neural networks. The device stores weights locally as analogue levels as conductance in phase-change memory, and implements analogue multiply-accumulate calculation. For analogue AI processing “two key challenges need to be overcome: These memory arrays need to compute with precision on par with existing digital systems, and they need to be able ...
There's a story about a copy-cat fab, Intel investing in ARM, an IBM quantum computer, a project for cooler chips in data centres, and Intel's new fab in Magdeburg being in doubt...
IBM has shown that quantum computers can produce accurate results at a scale of 100+ qubits reaching beyond leading classical approaches. One of the ultimate goals of quantum computing is to simulate components of materials that classical computers have never efficiently simulate. But today’s quantum systems are inherently noisy and they produce a significant number of errors that hamper performance. This ...
IBM has announced a European quantum computer data centre at its facility in Ehningen, for companies, research institutions and government agencies. This will be its second, after a quantum data centre in New York. Scheduled to operate in 2024, the German site will have “multiple IBM quantum computing systems, each with more than 100 qubits”, said IBM. “The data centre ...
Globalfoundries is suing IBM for allegedly sharing GloFo’s IP with Rapidus and Intel. GloFo says that it collaborated with IBM on process development in Albany for many years and acquired the exclusive right to that technology in 2015 when IBM paid GloFo $1.5 billion to take over the ownership of IBM’s fabs. IBM has been working with both Rapidus and ...
Sierra Space, the space plane specialist, and IBM have agreed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work on AI-based space-related technology and software, to work across the former’s range of space vehicles and infrastructure. Specifically, they plan to coordinate the workload of astronauts through Sierra Space’s data analysis and collection technology. They also envisage “building a seamless technology platform in ...
IBM revealed vertical FET CMOS logic at a sub-45nm gate pitch on bulk silicon wafers at the IEEE International electron devices meeting in San Francisco this week. IBM’s VTFET with a vertical channel (yellow) and gate-all-around (blue). Contacts are brown and the white line shows current flow. It calls them VTFETs, for vertical transport FETs, and is describing the channel cross-section ...
