Blockscale 1000-series chips end of lifed

A project pushed by former Intel graphics-chief Raja Koduri to create a Custom Compute Group within the AXG graphics unit to support its Bitcoin ASICs has been mothballed.

Raja Koduri was not the only one to leave

Intel has announced the appointment of Stuart Pann as senior vice president and general manager of Intel Foundry Services (IFS).

Pat gives him a farewell pat

Raja Koduri, Intel's VP and chief architect, is leaving Intel by the end of March, as confirmed by Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsigner.

AXG business unit split in management shakeup 

Executive Vice President of Intel's  AXG business unit, Raja Koduri, will return to his previous role as an Intel Chief Architect after the unit has been divided in a surprise shakeup.

Two main barebone SKUs

While it might not be similar to earlier NUC Extreme barebones, the latest one, dubbed the NUC 12 Extreme, comes with rather interesting specifications and will be available in two versions, depending on the CPU.

We have got two animals but this might take longer than 40 days and nights 

Raja Koduri, Intel’s SVP and GM of the Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics (AXG) Group delivered an update on the state of Intel’s first generation of Arc graphics and it looks like that it will be a long time before we see anything.

Driver optimizations underway

Intel's Raja Koduri has teased the Xe-HPG (DG2) chip with 512 EUs on Twitter, showing that the chip is ready but that there are still a lot of things to be done, including upcoming game and driver optimizations from the software team.

Ready for power on 7nm, 10nm internal external

Raja Koduri of Intel has already talked a few times about the Xe HPC SoC codenamed Ponte Vecchio. Now Raja was happy to share that the Xe HPC is ready to power on.

Hardware Ray tracing

Xe LP is a 96 EU GPU inside of Tiger Lake, and it will be the first time Intel gets to decent clock speeds at least at 1.7GHz in the notebook form factor. It is a new architecture that is the part for DG1 and SG1 desktop and server cards. Now Raja Koduri, Intel’s chief architect, announced Xe HPG high-end card for 2021.

Performance Hybrid with big and small cores

Intel showed a Lakefield prototype CPU at the Architecture Day on December 12, 2018, and it was a unique part. It had one big core-based CPU and four smaller Tremont 10nm cores on a special package codenamed Foveros. At the architecture day 2020, Raja Koduri confirmed the existence of performance hybrid codenamed Alder Lake.
