AI chips juggle several number formats with cryptic names. Here is what the formats mean, why lower precision is popular and how each one is used.
AI clusters grow in two directions: by making tightly linked groups of chips larger, and by connecting more of those groups together. Here is the difference.
Large AI models are too big for any one chip, so accelerators must share data constantly. Here is how interconnects work and why they matter so...
AI chip announcements arrive packed with numbers. This question-and-answer guide explains the most common specifications and what each one tells you.
Some ideas about AI hardware get repeated so often they sound true. Here are common myths about AI chips, paired with what is actually going on.
Transistors have changed shape to keep shrinking. Here is how flat designs gave way to fins and then to fully wrapped gates, and why each shift...
Every AI chip is built from billions of transistors. Here is what a transistor does, how it works in simple terms and why it is so...
Moore's Law gets the fame, but Dennard scaling explained why shrinking transistors once made chips both faster and cooler. Its end changed chip design.
Governments sometimes restrict where advanced chips and chipmaking tools can be shipped. Here is how export controls work in general and why they target semiconductors.
Making a chip involves many companies across many countries. This overview walks through each stage of the semiconductor supply chain in order.
Each new generation of AI accelerator tends to draw more power than the last. Here is why that happens and what it means for servers and...
Not all AI runs in giant data centers. Edge AI chips run models on phones, cars, cameras and factory equipment. Here is how they differ and...
