Nvidia’s plans with Spark CPUs: Next generation, lower-cost chips

Nvidia unveiled its own RTX Spark laptop CPUs at Computex, with considerable support from PC manufacturers and Microsoft, who clearly expect Nvidia processors to capture a significant share of the PC market. Whether that’s achievable for the first generation, which has been delayed by more than a year, remains to be seen. Nvidia, however, already has a full roadmap of successors in development and revealed it at Computex. Read more “Nvidia’s plans with Spark CPUs: Next generation, lower-cost chips” »

The company showed a server platform roadmap that appears to be revealing when Zen 7 will arrive. Read more “AMD roadmap: Zen 7 CPUs coming as soon as in 2027?” »

Intel plans: 2nm processors next year, 1.8nm Panther Lake in 2025

Intel took a symbolic “step into the future” by unveiling Meteor Lake processors now, for the first time using TSMC-manufactured silicon as well as advanced chiplet design with 3D Foveros technology. Meteor Lake will come out at the end of the year, but Intel has also revealed a roadmap of processors for PCs and laptops, showing what will come after it. Three new generations or families of “lake” processors are coming in 2024 and 2025. Read more “Intel plans: 2nm processors next year, 1.8nm Panther Lake in 2025” »

AMD Zen 6 requiring new socket? Server roadmap may suggest so

Last week, a roadmap (or rather a cutout of it) apparently coming from one of the manufacturers of servers and similar hardware that was showing the planned products of the major players – Intel, AMD and Nvidia – was made public on the internet by leaker YuuKi_AnS. It appears to be showing the plans for 2025 or 2026, so time still quite a bit far off and product generations following those that are to come to market now.
