    Samsung Foundry will produce all of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 875 chips using the 5nm EUV process

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 12:36 PM PDT

    Outlets reported 5 days ago that Samsung will be producing Qualcomm's 5G chips.

    Now more detailed reports from South Korea tell us that Samsung will produce all of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 875 chips using the 5nm EUV process, meaning that Qualcomm will not be taking a multi-foundry approach for its latest AP chip: https://www.hankyung.com/economy/article/2020091346231

    The deal was worth 1 trillion Won, or 840M USD.

    According to an industry professional, who was not named, Samsung offered a cheaper deal than TSMC for applying 5nm EUV. It also disproves the rumors started by Taiwan's 'Digitimes', who previously reported that Qualcomm is pulling out because Samsung was having trouble producing 5nm chips. The industry professional says the recent uptick in negative rumors from Taiwan's tech news outlets against Samsung Foundry speaks to the company's growth and future potential to size up TSMC in the foundry market.

    So AMD's original vision of having GPU + CPU inhouse was correct, just wrong timing

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:18 PM PDT

    AMD acquired ATI in 2006 with the vision of synergizing the GPU and CPU. They saw a future where having efficient APUs would rule mobile devices, and powerful customized CPU+GPU combinations would rule servers. They were correct in their vision, as both Intel and Nvidia are doing the exact same thing now.

    Only, they were 14 years too early.

    Because AMD was too early in this strategy, Intel's primary focus on the CPU allowed them to run away with the x86 market and Nvidia's primary focus on the GPU allowed them to run away with the A.I. and discrete GPU market.

    AMD nearly went bankrupt multiple times since buying ATI.

    But since AMD survived, now all 3 companies will compete in all areas of computing. Quite exciting to see what will happen in the next 5 years.

    I have this strange feeling that Nvidia will be the one to come out on top.

    Cash-and-stock takeover of Arm by Nvidia may be announced as soon as Monday

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 03:16 PM PDT

    According to Ars Technica the sale of ARM Holdings by its Japanese owner, SoftBank, to the U.S. Company Nvidia is imminent

    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/nvidia-reportedly-to-acquire-arm-holdings-from-softbank-for-40-billion/

    SoftBank is set to sell the UK's Arm Holdings to US chip company Nvidia for more than $40 billion, just four years after its founder Masayoshi Son bought the chip designer and said it would be the linchpin for the future of the Japanese technology group.

    Multiple people with direct knowledge of the matter said a cash-and-stock takeover of Arm by Nvidia may be announced as soon as Monday [edit: tomorrow, 14 Sep 2020], and that SoftBank will become the largest shareholder in the US chip company.

    Oculus Quest 2 Leaked By Facebook: Qualcomm XR2 SoC, 256 GB storage, 'Almost 4K' resolution

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:37 AM PDT

    Is the difference between the Xbox Series S and Series X really just resolution?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:14 AM PDT

    People keep saying resolution is the only difference between the two so would that mean a 4TF console would still be able to run games like the photorealistic Unreal Engine 5 Demo that ran on the PS5?

    Elephant in the room - NVIDIA acquiring ARM

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:50 AM PDT

    Seems like this is the hot topic today, and rightly so.

    I've been reading many conflicting opinions here and on various articles, but I thought I'd dedicate this post to addressing the elephant in the room.

    How is this acquisition remotely going to survive regulatory scrutiny?

    Surely, what would be the point for NVIDIA to acquire ARM if it doesn't capitalise on bottlenecking competition?

    It's already a licensee and wouldn't need to buy ARM to get what it needs.

    Just wanted to see if I'm missing something obvious and to get your guys' thoughts on it.
