New artificial intelligence company Cerebras Systems is unveiling the largest semiconductor chip ever built.
The Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine has 1.2 trillion transistors, the basic on-off electronic switches that are the building blocks of silicon chips. Intel’s first 4004 processor in 1971 had 2,300 transistors, and a recent Advanced Micro Devices processor has 32 billion transistors.
Most chips are actually a...
Engineers from China have developed an unmanned vehicle that flies on Solar energy, reports Xinhua.
The development was called "Motszy-2" and took to the air at Deqing County Airport in East China. The journey took place without incident. The drone works exclusively with solar panels built into wings with a span of more than 15 meters. It can rise to a height of...
Most of us have done it. Just a quick slip into Google Chrome’s Incognito Mode. Juke that paywall to read an important news story on that website we’ve been meaning to buy a subscription to. For a while, it worked. Then it started to not. Some of the biggest news sites—like the New York Times and the Washington Post—implemented...
The global telecoms industry on Tuesday demanded access to the high-capacity spectrum it says it needs to support data-intensive 5G services, accusing the space lobby of hogging frequencies in a way that could stunt the technology.
The call by the GSMA, which represents 750 operators and another 350 firms in the mobile industry ranging from Germany’s Deutsche Telekom to China’s...
A new wireless transceiver invented by electrical engineers at the University of California, Irvine boosts radio frequencies into 100-gigahertz territory, quadruple the speed of the upcoming 5G, or fifth-generation, wireless communications standard.
Labeled an “end-to-end transmitter-receiver” by its creators in UCI’s Nanoscale Communication Integrated Circuits Labs, the 4.4-millimeter-square silicon chip is capable of processing digital signals significantly faster and more...
A group of tech companies that includes giants like Apple, Facebook, Google, Qualcomm and others, petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a new, ‘Very Low Power’ (VLP) category of portable devices for use in the unlicensed 6 GHz band.
The group submitted a letter to the FCC titled, “The FCC can Accelerate 5G Services while Protecting Incumbent Operations by...
By 2025 organizations will churn out 175 zetta-bytes of data, IDC predicts. However bottlenecks and compute problems continue to plague IT pros as they struggle to support their growing edge workloads, according to a survey of more than 300 storage professionals by NGD Systems.
In the study entitled The State of Storage and Edge Computing conducted by Dimensional Research, barely...
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who look at monkeys and think “damn, having a tail would be fucking awesome,” and liars.
While most of us just imagine though, others create. So, enter the Arque – a mechanical tail that allows humans to experience the benefits our extended-backbone brethren take for granted.
The Arque was announced in...
Microsoft will be ending support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020. After January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running Windows 7. After the support ends, you can continue to use Windows 7, but your PC will become vulnerable to security risks as you will not receive security and feature updates....
