Logic transistors keep getting denser, but the fast SRAM memory built into chips has not kept pace. Here is why, and how designers are responding.
AI hardware coverage is full of jargon. This glossary defines common terms in plain English, from accelerator and HBM to tape-out and yield.
Researchers are exploring computing approaches very different from today's digital accelerators. Here is a general look at neuromorphic, analog and optical computing ideas.
AI accelerators concentrate a lot of power in a small area. Here is why heat density matters, how heat leaves a chip and what that means...
Most chips are cut from wafers in many small pieces. Some designs keep the whole wafer as one giant processor. Here is how wafer-scale chips work...
Quantization is not the only way to make AI models leaner. Here is how pruning, sparsity and distillation work, and how hardware is adapting to them.
Chipmaking depends on a long list of ultra-pure materials, gases and chemicals. Here is an overview of the key inputs and why their supply matters.
Leading-edge chips are made on silicon wafers 300 millimeters across. Here is why wafer size matters, how it grew and why moving larger has proved so...
As AI clusters grow, copper wires struggle to keep up. Here is how optical connections and silicon photonics work, and why they are getting so much...
A semiconductor fab is filled with specialized machines, each handling one kind of step. Here is a tour of the main tool categories and what they...
Benchmarks are how the industry compares AI hardware on real workloads. Here is how they work, why they are useful and what they cannot tell you.
New AI chips are announced with bold claims and big numbers. This checklist helps curious readers ask the right questions and keep the claims in context.
