Samsung has announced that it will manufacture 5nm chips for Ambarella, a US-based edge AI fabless semiconductor company. Ambarella’s CV3-AD685 is a new semiconductor chip that’s designed to be an AI controller for autonomous cars. The South Korean firm says its new collaboration will help transform the next generation of self-driving cars. Ambarella’s CV3-AD685 is the company’s first chip based on its CV3-AD family of automotive AI central domain controllers. Tier-1 automotive suppliers have announced they will create…

Samsung said on Tuesday that it will be using its 5-nanometer (nm) node to manufacture US AI chip firm Amarella's latest SoC that supports self-driving by cars.Ambarella's CV3-AD685 is powered by the company's latest AI engine called Cvflow and is aimed at advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) of vehicles.The chip can use read the input given by cameras and radars to determine driving scenarios, the South Korean tech giant said.Samsung said it will be applying its automotive IPs, latest processes, and packaging…

Samsung on Thursday unveiled its latest solid-state drive (SSD) that comes with its own 5-nanometer (nm) controller.PM9C1a is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD integrated with a 5nm controller and the tech giant's latest V-NAND.Samsung said the high-performance SSD is aimed at PCs and laptops for demanding computing and gaming applications.It has top sequential read and write speeds of 6,000MB/s and 5,600MB/s, respectively, which is 1.6 times and 1.8 times faster than its predecessor PM9B1, the South Korean tech giant said.According…

Google's Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were launched in India earlier this month. The company's latest Pixel-branded smartphones debuted with the next-generation Tensor G2 SoC, which was earlier reported to be built using Samsung's 4nm fabrication process. However, according to a new report, the Tensor G2 SoC is said to utilise a 5nm fabrication process instead of 4nm. Google at its keynote announcing the Pixel 7 series with the Tensor G2 SoC, claimed that the processor on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro would offer a 60 percent…

Google unveiled the Pixel 7 series last week but did not share detailed specs about the new Tensor G2 chipset. Earlier rumors pointed to a 4nm manufacturing process but as it turns out the new SoC is based on a 5nm process as a Google spokesperson confirmed to Android Authority. We don’t get official confirmation if Tensor G2 is built on Samsung’s 5LPE process like the Tensor G1 or the newer 5LPP process. The confirmed specs for the Tensor G2 CPU includes 2x Cortex-X1 cores, 2x A78 and 4x A55 cores along with updates…

Chinese state media on Thursday said that Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. had initiated mass production of chips on its 14nm-class fabrication process at its Fab SN1 near Shanghai, China, citing a local official. Perhaps more importantly, the report also claimed that despite being unable to procure advanced chip production equipment, the company is proceeding with its 7nm and 5nm-class nodes."With the completion of Shanghai's industry cluster for the 14nm chips, more advanced projects in the 7nm and 5nm…

AMD has unveiled the first of its Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs for high-performance gaming and enthusiast PC users. The company claims that its top-end Ryzen 9 7950X will be the world's fastest processor for gaming and content creation. These CPUs are based on the new 'Zen 4' architecture and introduce a new platform called AM5, with support for DDR5 RAM and the PCIe 5.0 interconnect standard. The new CPUs will be available in retail around the world starting from September 27. Pricing for India has not yet been…

AMD's Radeon RX 7000-series is coming, and working hardware is now in AMD's labs. At its Ryzen 7000 launch event, AMD demonstrated a working RDNA 3 GPU, aka Navi 3x, aka RX 7000, running a pre-release build of Lies of P (opens in new tab). (Jump to 30:48 in the above video if the embed doesn't do that automatically.) That of course tells us precisely nothing about the GPU performance or hardware other than the fact that it exists, since no one else has the game and thus can't benchmark it or say how it runs on competing…

The US technology giant Apple reportedly use a new 5nm chip in its iPad Pro and MacBook Pro. Both these gadgets are heading towards mass production this year and will not use a 3nm chip technology, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He also added…

MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro, which are heading towards mass production this year, have been hinted to not be using a 3nm chip technology. Both the Apple gadgets are tipped to sport the new 5nm chips, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He had first hinted this a few days earlier. The analyst had also added that the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with new processors will enter mass production in 4Q22. Kuo has reiterated his earlier tip that the upcoming MacBook Pro and iPad will enter mass production in the…
