Rivian also unveiled its next-generation autonomy platform, which will be run by its new chips. The proprietary, purpose-built silicon was designed to “achieve dramatic progress in self-driving,” Scaringe says, as part of his road map to reshape the future of the industry with artificial intelligence .

Rivian's AI and Autonomy Day had exciting updates, like new in-house tech, an AI assistant, the addition of LiDAR, and a unique R2.

A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and blindness—helping to manage seizures and restore motor,

A good candidate might be an APU for laptops and handhelds, perhaps a successor for its Strix Point chip. Or maybe its next generation of gaming GPUs. Samsung's SFP2 process is generally thought to be inferior to TSMC's various N2-generation silicon. However, AMD currently makes GPUs on TSMC N5-derived nodes, including N4.

Rivian announced that it was designing its own AI chips for fully autonomous driving, in a bold — if belated — move to catch up with Tesla and other automakers that have working on the technology for far longer.

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep those constraints by building extra layers of logic directly on top of finished chips,

The Biden-Harris administration committed up to $750 million in direct funding to Wolfspeed on Tuesday. Wolfspeed is a North Carolina-based company specializing in silicon carbide technology for advanced computer chips. The funding will support Wolfspeed's ...

Lightspeed and Andreessen Horowitz led the investment. They were joined by more than a half-dozen other backers including Jeff Bezos and Rao, who contributed $10 million. The deal valued Unconventional AI at $4.5 billion.

Apple's custom silicon chips will begin to be manufactured in the United States at an accelerated pace as TSMC adjusts its timelines, although the chips produced domestically will be limited to older models for the foreseeable future, Nikkei Asia reports.

Nvidia and TSMC have developed a silicon photonics-based chip prototype, according to a recent report from the Taiwanese press. Silicon photonics merges photonic circuits with traditional electronic circuits to surpass physical limitations in semiconductor ...

In the tech world, top-tier microprocessors constantly evolve to offer peak performance. Mobile and desktop chipmakers alike have been pushing performance limits and downsizing components more and more to accommodate more transistors on a single silicon ...
