#15628 — Creating a "European CMOS 2.0 Army"

Hi,

For marketing purposes people
typically look at the race towards
2nm, and we find:

A month ago, Apple lost its exclusivity
on 3 nm smartphone processors with
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chip, integrated
in the Vivo X200 Pro smartphone. Qualcomm
is also in the race with its recently
unveiled Snapdragon 8 Elite and set to
power the Xiaomi 15 Pro in 2025. However,
Apple should regain its position as innovation
leader in 2026 with the release of the
iPhone 18, which should feature the A20
chip built on TSMC’s 2 nm process."

But there is a vertical vias revolution
going on as well, some SOCs typically
being at 18 layers now:

Zooming Into a CPU (It's Incredible)

imec has coined the term CMOS 2.0:

LEUVEN (Belgium), MARCH 12th, 2026 — Imec,
a world-leading research and innovation hub
in advanced semiconductor technologies, has
launched a first-of-its-kind consortium with
26 European university groups that will jointly
work on the technology roadmap beyond
CMOS scaling (CMOS 2.0).

So we might see more mobile grade GPUs.

Hi,

So we might see more mobile grade GPUs,
on a finger nail, without any cooling fans
in the future? Yes my Redmi smart phone doesn't

have any cooling fans, I do not intend to put
a RTX 5090 in a rucksack and carry a 600 W battery
pack (*), to have some AI on my phone.

Have Fun!

#15631 — Light Tuning of LLMs Locally (Was: Micro penis walking around with a rucksack)

Hi,

Interestingly  "Strix" (Strix Point) is no longer
the top news, as "Krackan" (Krackan Point) and the
massive "Halo" (Strix Halo) have officially stepped
into the spotlight.

My tester Acer Swift Go was already "Krackan" (Krackan
Point. So a shift from local inferencing, to limited
local machine learning is possible. And AMD
Ryzen is hitting the drums:

AMD Ryzen™ AI Halo: Build the AI You Want. Your Stack. Your Rules.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxTaJ5LDY20

Pre-orders for the platform open in June, featuring
128GB of unified memory which enables developers to
run intensive workloads with models up to 200
billion parameters.

LoL

Have Fun!

#15634 — PCIe 6.0 x16 versus LPDDR5X-8000 latency (Re: Light Tuning of LLMs Locally)

Hi,

Its amazing how Micro Penis slumps in
his own turf, when he argues against iGPU
via nonsense like:

 > to the embedded gpu, blocked by the speed of the cpu

Facts are that dual channel RAM has some
advantage over PCIe x16. Take for example latency:

Latency Comparison

Data Pathway  Approximate Latency   Why It Matters
iGPU to LPDDR5X-8000  ~30 to 50 ns
Direct on-die access. The iGPU accesses the system
RAM directly through the CPU's internal fabric,
bypassing the PCIe bus completely.

GPU over PCIe 6.0 x4 Link ~80 to 100 ns
Bus transition penalty. This is just the time it
takes for a packet to leave the GPU chip, travel
down 4 traces, and reach the system controller.

For PCIe 6.0 x16 latency is a little lower,
but still higher than LPDDR5X-8000.

#15635 — TSMC's 2nm (N2) node and the 7 GHz target (Re: Creating a "European CMOS 2.0 Army")

Hi,

TSMC's 2nm (N2) node and the 7 GHz target
represent a monumental milestone in silicon
manufacturing, shifting away from legacy
FinFETs to advanced Gate-All-Around (GAA)
nanosheet transistors.

This evolution allows chip designers—particularly
in the PC and AI sectors—to push processor
clock speeds previously thought impossible
on standard nodes

AMD confirms Zen 6 rollout for its July 22 AI event
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-confirms-zen-6-launches-in-less-than-two-weeks-starting-with-epyc-venice

Production of the 6th Gen EPYC family is
already ramping up. AMD says Venice is its
first high-performance computing product
manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process
technology.

#15637 — pi-WAM is just like Laika3, the first Dog on Mars (Was: TSMC's 2nm (N2) node and the 7 GHz target)

Hi,

We recently implemented a parallel π-WAM
on a GPU backend and could demonstrate an
estimated 11.4 Giga Lips. In this post we
report a further experiment, this time
presenting a parallel π-WAM on a CPU backend,
that can lift specialized Prolog, currently
to 1.7 Giga Lips performance.

Having an excess number of threads is a
bad idea. What if we do context switching
on our own? With this approach we could
bring down the execution time of 128 Hack
VMs by 33%. We estimate for the test which
had 11.4 GLips on the GPU, that we reach
1.7 GLips on the CPU.

#15638 — So memory bandwidth is no issue at all (Re: pi-WAM is just like Laika3, the first Dog on Mars)

Hi,

So memory bandwidth is no issue at all for
this kind of backtracking problem. Its all
about arithmetic bandwidth . And since I am

not using vectors or matrices, it is still
poor. You can do the math. The CPU has 16
logical cores (8 physical with hyperthreading).

The GPU single-threaded is around 5 times
slower than the CPU single threaded, but
their number is greater. Now you can do

the math as follows:

16 * 11.4 / 1.7 * 5 = 536.47

Pretty much the number of shader cores (*),
i.e. 512, that the Ryzen AI 7 350 laptop
offers in its integrated GPU Radeon 860M.

LoL

Bye

(*) Unified shading units (also referred to
as unified shaders, shader cores, or stream
processors) are flexible processing components

inside a graphics processing unit (GPU) that
can handle any type of rendering or compute task.

#15640 — For iGPU which acts as a APU RAM is shared (Re: So memory bandwidth is no issue at all)

Hi,

For iGPU which acts as a APU RAM is shared,

an integrated GPU (iGPU) used as an APU
relies entirely on shared system RAM.
Because the processor and graphics chip
live on the same silicon die, they do not
have their own separate video memory
(like discrete GPUs do with dedicated VRAM).
Instead, the iGPU carves out a portion of
your regular system memory to store textures,
frame buffers, and other graphics data.

While AMD originally coined Accelerated
Processing Unit (APU) in 2011 to highlight the
fusion of CPU and GPU on a single die,
modern AI computing has redefined what
it means to "accelerate" data. When Intel
and Apple discuss their latest processors,
they frequently highlight dedicated hardware
blocks called NPUs (Neural Processing Units) or
Neural Engines right alongside the CPU and GPU.

#15642 — Village Idiot wants 8088 back [Puting Troll] (Re: For iGPU which acts as a APU RAM is shared)

Hi,

Ha Ha, Village Idiot is Pissed and
wants his Intel 8088 back. There you
have boards with VRAM = 1k Byte.

Well it fits you, since you are
a putin payed troll. Typically russian
or belarus 9000 level stupid.

#15643 — VT100 25 x 80 terminal = 2000 Bytes (Re: Village Idiot wants 8088 back [Puting Troll])

Hi,

Ok i misscalculated the 1k Byes. For 25 x 80
ASCII characters it would be 2000 Bytes.
Sorry for the wrong adjustment of your VRAM.

BTW, a VT100 had indeed 3000 Bytes:

Released   1978
CPU    Intel 8080
Memory    3 KB RAM
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100

So your 1GB were a little bit too high.
The lower bound is probably 2000 to
3000 bytes. Happy now moron?

Your 1GB were wroooong you were too
optimistic, in your pessimism.

Bye
