Framework's 10G Ethernet module exposes USB-C's complexity

I've been following WisdPi's development of various 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet adapters for the past couple years. They use newer Realtek Ethernet chips, which sometimes have performance quirks—most frequently encountered under Linux. In today's video, I tested the new WisdPi 10G Ethernet Expansion Card for Framework computers. It fits in any available Framework Expansion slot—even on the Framework Desktop. But Expansion Cards use USB-C for their connection to the mainboard—and therein lies the rub...

IBM debuts sub-1 nanometer chip technology

IBM unveiled a major semiconductor breakthrough with the introduction of the world’s first sub-1 nanometer (nm) chip technology, featuring a revolutionary transistor architecture at the 0.7 nm, or 7 angstrom node. The achievement marks a landmark moment for an industry facing the physical limits of traditional chip scaling. Semiconductors play critical roles in everything from computing, to appliances, to communication devices, transportation systems, and critical infrastructure.

Apple to skip high-end M6 Mac chips in favor of AI-focused M7 line

Apple Inc. is making one of the biggest-ever changes to its Mac silicon strategy, preparing to jump ahead to a new artificial intelligence-focused chip generation for its next top-end processors.

Un-0: Generating Images with Coupled Oscillators

We built Un-0, an image generator powered by a simulated system of coupled oscillators, an example of an emerging physical computing substrate. On ImageNet 64×64 it reaches FID 6.74, matching the quality of leading conventional image generation methods when they were first published. Weights, training, and ablation code are all open.,TL;DR. Executing deep neural networks on GPUs has dominated AI for a decade, but we think the next jump in energy efficiency demands a fundamentally different computer, one where physics does the computing. We built Un-0, an image generator powered
