The evolution of bitcoin mining machines in 2025 came down to an unyielding chase for leaner energy use paired with massive gains in computational muscle, all centered on the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market. What follows is a rundown of the top five bitcoin mining machines as the year wraps up and the industry rolls […]

ATX dying would probably require a drastic upheaval beyond even CAMM. Likeliest candidate for the executioner would be tied to development of glass PCBs with photonic interconnects – something I don’t expect to land anytime soon even with TSMC and other non Intel parties making moves on photonics.

Now with eight cores per CCX, since launch, AMD has been extremely coy about telling anyone publicly how those cores are connected together. When asked at launch if the cores in a Zen 3 eight-core CCX were fully connected, AMD’s general attitude was ‘Not quite, but close enough’. This would mean something between a ring […]

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is rumoured to feature the Exynos 2400e SoC (presumably an underclocked version of the 2400). The remarkable thing is that this chip will be in Galaxy S24 FE phones of all regions, including the USA. That’s right, this is the first Samsung phone since the Galaxy S6 to feature […]

Global LDS patent Patent available here: https://patents.google.com/patent/US12001334B2 It’s a radiating fabric paradigm. Does nearest neighbour searches first, then propagates out to other CUs further out. The patent is old so likely major tweaks since then (LDS instead of L0 etc…). But the … docs.google.com

N4P is supposed to be -22% power @ iso-perf relative to base N5. Relative to N5P, however, TSMC’s numbers give something like +4% perf, iso-power, or -7% power, iso-perf. Honestly, kinda marginal gains. Does beg the question, however. With Zen 5 widely expected to bring a much “bigger” core, but only small improvements on the […]
