Anand Shimpi (Former Anandtech Owner) Outed in Apple/Nuvia Lawsuit for Confidential Info Leaks Posted: 14 Feb 2020 07:14 PM PST In a Santa Clara court filing dated August 7, 2019, a familiar name to us old hardware enthusiasts popped up: Anand Shimpi. The short story is that Anand is being accused of sharing confidential Apple documents to the Nuvia startup (Nuvia is looking to make ultra-performing and ultra-efficient ARM processors for datacenter, and Apple is suing Nuvia/ Gerard Williams III for leaving Apple and "poaching" talent from Apple staff). This is the full passage from the lawsuit: "Additionally, current Apple employee Anand Shimpi sent Williams text messages on numerous occasions after Williams' departure from Apple. In an April 4, 2019 conversation, Shimpi included slides and other material designated "Apple Confidential" that Shimpi had prepared for a future meeting with Srouji. Williams indicated that this material was inappropriate and unwelcome, as Williams was no longer an Apple employee." Apple has a ferocious track record of firing folks that it finds leaking confidential apple materials. This makes me wonder if we will soon see Anand looking for a new job? And maybe returning to Anandtech? It is rumored that his family still owns a stake in Anandtech, but I have no idea if there is any truth to that or not. I for one would love to see him back as a tech journalist. One thing I do know for sure, now that this issue has popped up in court, Apple will be hammering to find out if Shimpi's confidential information sharing is true or not.

Why doesn't the IO components of microprocessors scale with physical transistor size? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 04:16 PM PST It's well known in the CPU/semicondictor design world that compute components (like the CPU or GPU cores) scale with decreasing physical size of the transistors, but I/O (memory controller, cache, bus controllers for things like PCIe, etc) doesn't. It has famously led AMD to pioneer their chiplet design for consumer CPUs where the IO components are literally on a larger process node. But what is the cause for this failure to scale in I/O components and are there any solutions to it? Why do compute units scale well? Finally, is lack scaling in this context referring to performance or efficiency staying the same as you physically shrink the circuits or that you cannot physically make then smaller as well as you can compute units? submitted by /u/AgreeableLandscape3 [link] [comments]

Are there any significant benefits to stacking semiconductor chiplets if there's space to lay them all out in 2D? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 03:43 PM PST Baring things phones and laptops where space may very well drive the need for 3D stacked chiplets for major chips like the SOC, is there any benefit to 3D stacking other than space efficiency? If you had the choice between stacking two layers of processor chiplets with an interposer in between and just laying them out flat and ending up with twice the die surface area, what would be the benefits and drawbacks to each? Are the power savings and latency benefits usually enough to outweigh the cost of more advanced tooling and the extra piece of silicon for the interposer, even for high-cost applications like servers and industrial control systems? Finally, if it's between having a separate chipset package and stacking the chipset under the processor die, what would be better? submitted by /u/AgreeableLandscape3 [link] [comments]
