Intel hedges its bet for High-NA EUV with the 14A process node — an alternate Low-NA technique has identical yield and design rules
Intel explained the rationale behind its High-NA EUV strategy at its Intel Foundry Direct 2025 conference this week. Despite persistent questions around cost-effectiveness, Intel has championed its use of the new High-NA EUV chipmaking tool with its forthcoming 14A process. However, Intel has not yet fully committed to using the new tool in production, but…

NVIDIA AI Researchers Introduce FFN Fusion: A Novel Optimization Technique that Demonstrates How Sequential Computation in Large Language Models LLMs can be Effectively Parallelized
Large language models (LLMs) have become vital across domains, enabling high-performance applications such as natural language generation, scientific research, and conversational agents. Underneath these advancements lies the transformer architecture, where alternating layers of attention mechanisms and feed-forward networks (FFNs) sequentially process tokenized input. However, with an increase in size and complexity, the computational burden required…
Validation technique could help scientists make more accurate forecasts
Should you grab your umbrella before you walk out the door? Checking the weather forecast beforehand will only be helpful if that forecast is accurate. Spatial prediction problems, like weather forecasting or air pollution estimation, involve predicting the value of a variable in a new location based on known values at other locations. Scientists typically…
