We've seen a set of Skymont slides circling around the internet. While we're not trying to verify those slides, we can infer a few things and have some fun from looking at low res images. At first glance it appears to be a substantial jump over prior Atom iterations, a lot like Tremont was over Goldmont Plus https://chipsandcheese.com/2024/05/30/thoughts-on-skymont-slides/
Today's article is a update on our previous article on comparing the 2 different Crestmonts found in Meteor Lake and how power states can mess up measurements.
Today's article is comparing the low power version of Crestmont found on Meteor Lake's IO die to the standard version of Crestmont found on Meteor Lake's CPU tile.
Today's article is short look at Oryon's LLVM patch which appeared a few weeks ago and what that patch can tell us about what the back end of Oryon may look like.
Today's article is on Intel's Crestmont architecture which is an incremental improvement on Intel's Gracemont architecture with improvements to the BPU, instruction fetch, and more.
Today's article is the Chips and Cheese State of the Union where we talk about forming a 501c3 entails, some feedback needed from you folks in the community, and most importantly a Call to Action!
Today's article is a correction to our prior articles on Qualcomm's Adreno iGPUs. Microbenchmarking is hard, so thanks to Conner Abbott for reaching out and explaining what is happening under the hood.
Today's article is a sort of follow up on our Qualcomm iGPU article from a week ago but instead of looking at the Qualcomm 8cx Gen 3's iGPU we are looking at the Snapdragon 855's iGPU.
Today's article is a bit more of a philosophical article about the most promising Chinese CPU company, Loongson, and if they have a chance to catch up to the West in terms of performance.
Today's article is shorter one on the iGPU in Qualcomm's 8cx Gen 3 SOC and we compare it to the iGPU found in the Ryzen Z1 as well as to a GTX 1050 which is an older mid-range dGPU.
Today's article is on the NPU on Intel's Meteor Lake processor and we look at the capabilities and limitations of the NPU and in what scenarios you may choose to use it over the iGPU.
Today's article is on looking at the raytracing capabilities of Meteor Lake where we look at MTL's raytracing pipeline, compare it to AMD's RDNA2/3 in their APUs, and more.
Today's article is on the ambitious iGPU that Intel equipped Meteor Lake with where we look at the structure of the iGPU as well as measuring the memory bandwidth, latency, instruction rates, and more.
Today's article is on a Mainframe. A system that has seemingly dethroned the king of the mainframe, IBM.
Today, we are looking at Control Data Corporation's CDC 6600, the fastest mainframe available today!
Today's article is a rebuttal to the article "Why x86 Needs To Die" as well as standing as a rebuttal to the wider argument of "RISC vs CISC" and why in today's age it is a very dead argument.
P.S. Please do not harass the author of that Hackaday article, this article was written out of a frustration that the RISC vs CISC debate is still going on despite it being an argument that has been dead for well over 20 years....
