AMD Vega 10: 4096 stream processors, with all-new architecture

Linkedin profiles of the experts in hardware can often reveal very interesting information. And 'the case of this profile, made public by 3DCenter site and in the meantime removed, an AMD R & D Manager in Shanghai, indicating that it operated within the project indicated by the code name of "Greenland".

With this name indicates AMD internally of the next-generation GPU architecture positioned in the top segment of the market range so we speak of the chip known as Vega 10, as indicated in the latest of AMD GPU roadmap shown by ' American company to coincide with the GDC in San Francisco in recent weeks.

In Linkedin profile indicates that the Greenland GPU integrates within itself up to 4,096 shader processors: this implies a given identical to the integrated GPU from AMD in Fiji used in Radeon cards of the Fury family. Changes little, then? An identical number says nothing of architecture at the base, and then the performance capabilities: AMD plan is already confirmed as the Vega solutions will use 14-nanometer production technology FinFET type allowing complexity levels well above those of 28-nanometer technology adopted for Fiji solutions.

AMD has also remarked as with Polaris solutions will be able to introduce significant improvements in terms of overall efficiency, thus achieving higher performance by balancing the overall consumption. With Vega 10 AMD will use the second generation of HBM or High Bandwidth Memory memory, able to offer a level of twice the theoretical maximum bandwidth than the first generation HBM memory coupled to the family Fiji GPU as well as increase the total amount of memory for each GPU.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
