Many tech companies are pushing their employees to use AI tools and increase their productivity, but it seems that this initiative has begun to backfire. …
… "Our preference is to use off-the-shelf cores whenever we can, because Arm also builds good cores," he said, adding that Olympus was pushed toward single-thread speed in a way standard many-core Arm parts weren’t: "We wanted to push single-threaded performance as far as we could push it." The first… …
… With the company pushing Windows as a platform for agentic AI with Nvidia's new processor, the Surface-branded mini PC is set to run sustained workloads with a 100W thermal envelope — more than you can get in a laptop. …
… But as agentic AI becomes more popular and sophisticated, the number of tokens these systems use has been increasing exponentially, seemingly outpacing the efficiency gains that AI labs have been making on training and inference. …
… With AI agents, that token usage is certainly possible. Just this month, we saw OpenClaw developer Peter Steinberger rack up $1.3 million in OpenAI API usage in just 30 days across a three-person team working on the agentic AI framework. …
… Adobe is rearchitecting Photoshop and Premiere for the platform with a claimed two-times uplift in AI and editing workflows, and over 100 Windows software vendors, plus game developers including KRAFTON, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games, and Microsoft Xbox are listed as backing the platfor… …
… Progress, Amodei’s lab argues, would then be paced almost entirely by available compute, human engineers would be pushed into oversight and verification, and a self-improving model could come to dominate as its abilities outstrip those of the people who built it. …
… For example, the team has partnered with Collabora “to push full support for the Rockchip RK3576 SoC into the mainline Linux kernel.” This is a work in progress, though, with current effort focused on power management and USB DP Alt-mode support. …
… You know, we were the only game in town for almost two years now, and the large local memory is becoming super critical in the agentic AI workloads ,” said AMD’s Rahul Tikoo, senior vice president and general manager of AMD’s client business. “I'm actually happy to see Nvidia join the race for thes… …
… We’ll have to evaluate the Arc G3 range in different handhelds and gaming scenarios to see how it holds up, but from our first impressions and Intel’s bold 42% uplift claim versus the Ryzen Z2 Extreme , the range is shaping up nicely. — Jake Roach Read more: Intel challenges AMD’s handheld dominanc… …
