NVIDIA Prepares For Next-Gen GPU Architectures As β€œBlackwell-Next” Spotted In Linux 7.2 Kernel Patch

NVIDIA Prepares For Next-Gen GPU Architectures As "Blackwell-Next" Spotted In Linux 7.2 Kernel Patch

The Linux 7.2 Kernel Patches have seen the addition of a next-gen NVIDIA GPU architecture, cleverly listed as "Blackwell-Next". NVIDIA Ramps Up Support For Next-Gen GPU Architectures, Including Blackwell-Next, For Linux 7.2 NVIDIA's GPU architectures are not a mystery since the company has been outlining them in roadmaps for years now. We knew that Rubin was going to replace Blackwell years before its launch, and now we know that Feynman will replace Rubin. NVIDIA has only started volume production of Rubin, but internally, the company is prepping some big support for its next-generation architectures before they even ship. Phoronix spotted […]

AMD and Intel arm x86 against the AI gap with ACE, baking matrix-multiply engines & low-precision formats straight into future CPUs

An Intel and AMD branded processor displays 'x86' on its surface, surrounded by a circuit board.

ACE, the upcoming set of x86 Extensions defined by both AMD & Intel, has seen the latest spec release, focusing on AI acceleration. AMD & Intel Focus on AI Acceleration Through Next-Gen x86 Architectures That Are ACE Compliant Last year,Β Intel and AMD partnered to strengthen the x86 ecosystem through their "x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group" initiative. The plan was to offer a standardized set of features across architectures to make x86 accessible, scalable, and compatible with future requirements. Four key features were announced: FRED, AVX10, ChkTag, and ACE. Now, the latest ACE "AI Compute Extensions" specifications have been published by AMD […]

Space data centers face cooling hurdles and cost barriers

As SpaceX's listing has sparked discussion of space data centers, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the concept requires no magic and is simpler than existing Starlink systems. But supply chain sources say that cooling remains a major hurdle, while DIGITIMES Research shows that the timing is another key problem: launch costs have yet to reach commercial viability.
