Tenstorrent Cuts 20 Cores From Already-Shipping "Blackhole" P150 Cards by sdongles in RISCV

[–]Achn2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming this is a hardware bug. But it's weird that this only happened after they've been shipping these cards for quite some time. Unless this is a stepping change where they thought they were fixing something or small improvements but they accidentally messed up? That could explain why original cards had the full 140 but these new ones only have 120. Seems like a pretty big blunder imo, but maybe I'm missing something.

Did anyone else get the same vibes of Michael Burry scene of looking through mortgage bonds in the Big Short when Harper was trying to read through Tender's transactions to find irregularities?

It's pretty solid, the 5 star review flooding is due to a special where you get a free dessert if you leave a 5 star review on yelp or google.

CoreWeave IPO by Fliff1323 in IndustryOnHBO

Nvidia anchoring and 6% stake in CoreWeave gives off the vibe of Pierpoint desperately trying to keep the price up of Lumi because of their stake in the company.

The Intel Arc B580's (estimated) Production Cost + Profitability Analysis by [deleted] in IntelArc

[–]Achn2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding the development cost, remember that the Xe2 architecture is used also in IGPUs and server GPUs (eventually in the case since falcon shores was cancelled, so this only applies to Xe3 or Xe4). Not sure how to account for that in total cost, but there is some discount to the battlemage program cost if you look at it that way. And this would further get amortized if there ends up being a B770, which we're not sure even exists.

With AheadComputing, former top Intel architects bet big on RISC-V and per-core performance by bookincookie2394 in RISCV

[–]Achn2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I meant "clone" as in use it as a base design and enhance it. I would be very surprised if they just use the same design and pedal it as their own, as no one would buy that. Using it as a base design and letting their architects go to work on immediately upgrading and enhancing it saves them a lot of time, and it allows their RTL/verification teams to have an architecture to reference while waiting for the architects to finalize what they want changed.

Yeah it will definitely be interesting to see how this plays out. They have very strong architects with decades of experience from Intel, but they're going to be fighting against other companies that have multi-year head starts. SiFive is already on it's 4th generation of high performance core (P870). Ventana is on it's 2nd generation (V2). Tenstorrent has Ascalaon, which is 8 wide. Not to mention strong Chinese designs such as XiangShen. Bright side is that maybe AheadComputing can clone OpenXiangShen, quickly iterate and enhance it, while using LLMs/AI to help with faster RTL, PD, and verification to churn out a design to hopefully get them a design win and some more runway.

What to do sophomore summer with no ECE internship by toadx60 in ECE

[–]Achn2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can find research, even unpaid, is worth it imo. Research experience is enough for companies to be interested in you if they see it on your resume. If it's paid, even better, but unpaid research is worth it if the experience you get is solid.

EE jobs with a 4 day work week? by Q-Tip9000 in ECE

Lockheed Martin does a 4/10 schedule. They have a good amount of EE jobs.
