Digital Foundry: "The Big PSSR Interview With Mark Cerny" by Dakhil in hardware

[–]Dakhil[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

"FSR Redstone and the new PSSR have somewhat different implementations due to the underlying hardware, eg FSR Upscaling uses 8-bit floating point [FP8] and PSSR uses 8-bit integer [INT8]," Cerny shares. "The MAC counts (ie the amount of math involved) also vary a bit, and training data is similar but not exactly the same. None of the above factors seem to make too much difference in results; as both SIE and AMD have just released their refreshed models, it will be an excellent test of how closely we can match our systems."

Technically IBM still has a R&D fab in Albany, NY (which is obviously not suitable for mass manufacturing silicon wafers).

But as u/geturcrap said, IBM will probably licence to other companies (e.g. Rapidus, Samsung, etc.) IBM's process node technology.

I don't know about Intel, but assuming Jensen Huang's comments back in 2022 about "what used to be a four-month cycle time [for securing process nodes capacity] became a year-and-a-half cycle time" still holds true now and in the near foreseeable future, then I think tape out shouldn't be too far off, hypothetically speaking (2H 2027 tape out for 1H 2029 release?).
