Just a few days ago we asked you to contribute your PC's leftover horsepower to help fight the Coronavirus, and while every bit matters, it looks like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of supercomputers is joining the fight: The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) just announced that it's bringing in the big guns, tasking Summit with accelerating the process of finding a protein that can bind to the spikes found on the Coronavirus, as reported by HPC Wire . Blocking these spikes would stop

AMD VP of computing and graphics Rick Bergman said that at least one of the upcoming laptop models using the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 APUs will be able to hit 18 hours of battery life, as reported by PC World . AMD has already confirmed that the mobile processors will offer up to eight cores, and rumors are pointing to high overall performance from AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile.

In a statement at a recent financial analyst briefing in San Francisco, Bergman stated:

Intel today announced a new breakthrough for co-packaged silicon photonics optics Ethernet switches. The company has integrated next-generation 1.6Tbps silicon photonics engines with the 12.8Tbps programmable Tofino 2 Ethernet switch Intel acquired from Barefoot Networks last year.

With the emergence of hyperscale cloud data centers, demand for data bandwidth has become practically limitless. To provide cost-effective interconnect solutions, Intel has been on a path to increase the bandwidth of its silicon photonics, which has been available in a 100

Startup Hailo announced on Thursday it has secured $60 million in funding for the development of its edge AI chip for inference, VentureBeat reported . The Hailo-8 has 26 TOPS of performance and as an edge chip is aimed at applications such as automotive, smart cities and robotics.
