- One chip to rule them all: Tachyum's Prodigy T16128 is a 128-core vector processor running at 5.7GHz. (Tom's Hardware)
Each core is a standard 4-issue out-of-order design, but is paired with two 1024-bit vector units (four times the capacity of Intel's CPUs) and a 4096-bit matrix unit. It supports up to 8TB of DDR5 RAM per socket and up to four sockets per system.
And it runs x86, ARM, and RISC-V code as well as native binaries. It's as fast for GPU tasks as next-generation GPUs, and much faster for CPU-oriented workloads.
How much it will cost when it arrives next year is not mentioned, but they'll offer 32 and 64 core models for broke gang.
- Rural America could have the solution to the growing tech skills crisis. (ZDNet)
With everyone sane fleeing the cities, this is increasingly becoming true by definition.
- Qualcomm's new X70 mobile modem chip can hit transfer rates of 8.3Gbps. (Hot Hardware)
Great, now I can hit my monthly bandwidth cap in 2.4 seconds.
- MIPS is switching to RISC-V. (The Register)
MIPS was one of the first commercial RISC chips - IBM's 801 came earlier but mostly in embedded applications rather than as a system CPU.
- Failed "stablecoin" UST aka Terra was designed by the same people behind failed stablecoin Basis Cash. (CoinDesk)

I'm tempted to point out that I have a new chip that has eight times as many cores as the Tachyum(???) one, supports up to 48 processors on a single motherboard, and uses less than one tenth of the electricity, but I won't because I can't frankly afford to process all of the venture capital money that I'm about to start buying Ferraris with.
