The GPX10 Pro SoC has 10 programmable AI cores for a custom instruction set and is based on Ambient Scientific’s proprietarty DigAn architecture and MAC circuit design. The chip’s AI engine supports a variety of neural networking model types, including CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs and GRUs, locally at the edge. According to Ambient Scientific, the SoC offers up to 100x improvements ...
The importance of Singapore as a technology hub was reinforced at February’s Asia Photonics Expo 2026, reports Caroline Hayes. The three-day conference and exhibition hosted more than 350 exhibitors, from 17 countries and regions and 6,000 guests from 50 countries. “The convergence of photonics and semiconductors is becoming a defining shift for the industry, particularly as AI and high-performance computing ...
Samsung is stopping selling its Trifold phone once stocks are sold out, reports Bloomberg. The Trifold’s two hinges unfolded to deliver a ten inch screen. The Galaxy Z, as it was called, cost $2,899. High production costs and the recent 3-4x increase in memory cost contributed to the decision. Won-Joon Choi, COO of Samsung’s mobile unit said recently that the ...
Nisshinbo Micro Devices has brought out the NT1199, a high-linearity GNSS wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) that enables low current consumption and high performance for multi-band GNSS applications.i The device operates across a frequency range from 1164 MHz to 1610 MHz. It has a high gain of up to 17.5 dB in the L1 band and 18.0 dB in the ...
TI has produced an 800V DC power architecture for AI data centers built with the NVIDIA 800 VDC reference design. “By collaborating with NVIDIA, we’re helping accelerate the deployment of AI infrastructure that can scale efficiently and reliably,” says TI vp Kannan Soundarapandian. TI’s architecture requires only two conversion stages from 800V to GPU core power: compact 800V to 6V ...
Siemens Digital has brought out the Fuse EDA AI Agent system, an autonomous AI agent that plans and orchestrates multi-tool and multi-agent complex semiconductor, 3D IC and PCB system workflows that span across design, verification and manufacturing sign-off. Supporting Nvidia Agent Toolkit, advanced Nemotron models and Nvidia AI infrastructure, the Fuse EDA AI Agent manages workflows across Siemens’ EDA portfolio, ...
PhotonIC Technologies has announced a multi-channel current IDAC for External Laser Small Form-Factor Pluggable (ELSFP) modules used in AI Data Centers.. Utilised inside Linear-Pluggable Optics (LPO), Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), and Near-Packaged Optics (NPO), the external laser source (ELS) is suitable for next-generation optical modules. Because the ELS is required to deliver an extremely clean continuous-wave optical output power while minimizing power ...
