Arm has designed its first production silicon proprietary CPU which sits, in the integration hierarchy, between Arm’s IP portfolio and its Compute Subsystems products. The processor, designated Arm AGI CPU, is targeted at agentic AI infrastructure. Arm says it delivers more than two-times performance per rack compared with x86 platforms. “Today marks the next phase of the Arm compute platform ...
The Iran War is hitting the electronics industry, writes Paul Dempsey in Washington DC. Analyst IDC says that if it lasts only a few weeks, it will have a “modest” impact, although inflation across key areas is already visible. But if the conflict drags on, it could worsen component crunches and reignite issues over access to rare earth elements (REEs). ...
Intel has appointed Craig Barratt to be its next chairman, taking over from Frank Yeary who became chairman in 2023. Barratt, pictured, joined the Intel board last gear. He previously ran Atheros Communications, which was bought by Qualcomm, worked at Google and was CEO of Barefoot Networks, which was bought by Intel. “Craig brings deep semiconductor expertise and a strong ...
Ericsson and Intel are collaborating for the transition to AI-native 6G deployments and use cases. The collaboration will span mobile connectivity, cloud technologies, and compute capabilities across AI-driven RAN and packet core use cases, and platform level-security and network capabilities. “6G is not merely an iteration of mobile technology. It is the infrastructure that will distribute AI across devices, the ...
The SBC3518 is a rugged 3U VPX single board computer that sees Abaco Systems building on Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 processors. It’s designed for demanding commercial, defence and aerospace applications, and supports AI processing at the edge. “As defence systems evolve toward greater autonomy and data-driven operations, the demand for AI-enabled SBCs is accelerating,” said the company’s Director of Product ...
SambaNova, the AI company whose chairman is Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (pictured) and which was in M&A talks with Intel at a valuation of $1.6 billion, is now seeking $300 million to $500 million in extra funding, reports Bloomberg. The success of the fund raising for rivals Groq and Cerebras, and the winning of several sovereign AI contracts have transformed ...
Intel has an execution problem, said its CEO at its Q4 results meeting, which is something we have known for some time. “To be candid, it’s just our execution needs to improve,” said Lip-Bu Tan. “Our yield and production manufacturing are not up to my standards,” added Tan. Yield is what is dragging down Intel’s margins. The Q4 loss was ...
At SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, Kontron is announcing a series of industrial PCs based on Raptor Lake 13th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 mobile processors up to 45W, which have up to six ‘performance’ cores and eight ‘efficient’ cores. “These processors offer impressive computing power, making them the ideal basis for demanding real-time applications, machine learning or processing ...
Portwell has chosen Intel Core 3 Processor N355 to be the CPU behind a series of 120 x 120mm Nano-ITX embedded computer boards for edge computing, automation and signage. Sharing the same NANO-6065 series name, there are two other boards: one with a Processor N150 and the other with an Atom x7835RE. “Its processor options allow system designers to tailor ...
Aaeon has announced a Raptor Lake (13th Gen Intel Core) processor fan-less industrial PC with industrial-grade I/O and expansion slots for both PCI and PCIe. Called Boxer-6801-RAP, it “was designed with the aim of helping its customers modernise industrial set-ups, pairing advanced features such as multiple PoE LAN and NVMe storage support with both a PCIe and PCI slot for frame ...
