Intel founder and semiconductor pioneer Gordon Moore has passed away Friday at the age of 94.

Also that shirt

Stopped by the @AMD booth, where they are trying to go for some overclocking records. #ISSCC #ISSCC2023

Anyone attending? Let me know, say hi/lets chat. #ISSCC

Summary of some of the N3 details, mostly from IEDM last month plus a few extra things.

In the meantime, here's a cool picture I took.

So my article is supposed to go up just about now, but apparently WordPress isn't cooperating, so we'll see when that actually happens.

For the curious, here is a write-up on the z14 and z15 incorporating megabytes of fast L2 eDRAM cache, 100s of megabytes of L3 eDRAM cache, and nearly a gigabyte of L4 eDRAM cache on the system controller chip. https://t.co/3ozBFmCpCr

Since this article managed to generate lots of discussions, I figured I'd point out that there actually do exist some alternative technologies today. For example, the eDRAM used on GF's 14HP (SOI) for IBM is 15% denser than N3 SRAM with lower Si overhead https://t.co/Ivptt8DQhL

I was thinking a lot about this 👇. It's too easy for it to not happen. This definitely going to happen and it's going to dilute so many resources with junk content. https://t.co/CuxJwNz1yS

In a blog, Google announced "new C3 machine series powered by the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor and Google’s custom Intel Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU). " They are now in Private Preview. This is Mt. Evans and Sapphire Rapids. https://t.co/E4a1xBk8kg

Literally stole my entire article word-for-word and photo-for-photo. Obviously without consent. Even the title... https://t.co/a7qrbd3vnR

Horse Creek was shown for the first time. A0 running P550 @ over 2 GHz. Tech bodes well for their Intel 4 process which is currently ramping up. https://t.co/moUWNIwYOx

Expanding from DTCO to the entire system is the next obvious evolution of packaging. Here TSMC looks to optimize all those HBM stacks. [S] https://t.co/GpoIB85U1D

So finally got home and here's my coverage of Intel's 13th Gen launch. (P.S. How do you spend 5 hrs on a plane? you draw cartoons and infographics...) https://t.co/EHK7G5CiMu

Total deep dive into the AI accelerator found on all Intel client platforms nowadays. Although tiny, it's fairly capable. [S] https://t.co/MMW35DRiRR

And by next year we have 6 GHz. (We're 60% of the way to 10 GHz, just say'n..) https://t.co/8BY0XAq3Du https://t.co/pU3MZLcvRq

Kind of bizarre news. Intel killed the "Celeron" & "Pentium" branding; replacing them with "Intel Processor" brand. Using Processor as a proper noun mixed with its usual noun meaning is going to be super confusing. Also, how can this even be trademarked? https://t.co/QuIP4U8msE

@dylan522p It's not really clear what it actually is but they made it sound like an N3E variant. Literally, 98% of my questions were answered with "We're not ready to discuss this detail yet." 😕

Some info from the Symposium earlier this year. "N3E" is where TSMC sees the mainstream node path going. https://t.co/eu2lYqydrk
