Axelera AI, the leading provider of purpose-built AI hardware acceleration technology, unveiled the details behind Titania, its third-generation silicon architecture in a chiplet design. Titania is highly programmable and energy efficient and will deliver high performance at interactive speeds, all within the power and cooling limits of existing data centers, rather than the 100-kilowatt-plus liquid-cooled racks that today's highest-density GPU systems require. Performance expectations for Titania are up to 7x the throughput per watt compared to the best data center grade servers available, and up to a 20x better TCO. Each Titania-based system-in-package (SiP) will contain two Titania chiplets which are then packaged in a range of form factors, including standard PCIe cards as well as OCP-compliant UBB baseboards with eight Titania OAM modules connected in a scale-up network. In support of over $300 million in confirmed Titania commitments, these form factors will be available via OEM partners in an inference server configuration in both air- and liquid-cooled configurations.

Today, the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) Consortium, the open standards group for interconnects between chiplets within a package, announced the release of the UCIe 4.0 Specification, taking the UCIe architecture beyond chiplet-level interface design to address key requirements for integrating multiple chiplets into a cohesive on-package system. As chiplet architecture grows more sophisticated, connectivity is only part of the challenge. Systems incorporating compute, accelerator, memory and other chiplets must also address how those components are managed, secured and monitored while efficiently using power, die area and package resources. The UCIe 4.0 Specification addresses these broader system-level requirements with new capabilities spanning manageability and security, efficiency, memory connectivity and reliability.

NVIDIA's co-founder, chief executive officer, and president has officially signed a letter of resignation, stepping down from the role he has held since 1993. Following a series of controversies, NVIDIA announced on Sunday that the company's board of directors is launching a full-scale independent investigation into recent reports of founder and CEO Jensen Huang having a relationship with a woman the U.S. intelligence community believes is an agent of the Chinese state. Another allegation has since emerged, claiming that Jensen had an inappropriate relationship with one of his direct reports. As a result, Jensen Huang has resigned from all his positions, including President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board, effective immediately. The company board has begun the search for a new CEO and, in the meantime, has named Colette Kress, currently serving as vice president and chief financial officer, as the interim CEO. According to the official statement, NVIDIA's board is looking for a permanent CEO and is open to considering both internal and external candidates for the position. Who exactly will take on the role is unknown, as the board must find a suitable successor. During the transition, CFO Colette Kress will continue to perform CEO duties and manage the company.

Noctua today introduced the new NT-CP1 AM5/4 carbon nanotube thermal pad for AMD AM5 and AM4 processors. Leveraging Carbice's novel, space-grade carbon nanotube technology, the NT-CP1 is a premium-quality, easy-to-apply thermal pad that offers superior long-term stability for peace of mind. While thermal pastes and most other thermal pads gradually lose performance over time due to pump-out, delamination, cracking and other degradation effects, Carbice pads keep improving their performance over the first few hundred to a few thousand thermal cycles. This is possible thanks to the pad's robust mechanics, phase-change polymer coating and carbon nanotubes that incrementally conform to surface microstructures, enhancing the heat transfer rate with time and thermal cycling. Once this initial activation phase is completed, the NT-CP1 maintains stable, maintenance-free performance for years and years. As such, it is ideal for everyone who seeks to rule out thermal issues due to degradation and never wants to bother with reapply paste again. Unlike other carbon or graphite-based thermal pads that can be brittle, slippery and highly electrically conductive, Carbice pads are sturdy, safe and easy to install using a straightforward "peel, press, peel" process. The NT-CP1's aluminium backbone makes it surprisingly robust and easy to remove. The slightly tacky polymer coating helps to keep the pad in place once pressed onto the CPU and ensures that the contact surfaces are electrically non-conductive before usage unless the polymer layer is penetrated.

According to a company called Apex Compute, there is a new player in neural rendering. The company has developed Apex Neural Rendering, which reportedly offers higher quality and performance than NVIDIA's DLSS implementations. It includes three key components: frame generation (ANR FG), super resolution upscaling (ANR SR), and ray reconstruction denoising for ray tracing (ANR RR). Running frame generation on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 at 4K, the ANR FG achieves a latency of 1.01 ms per generated frame at a 2x setting, while NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation records 1.26 ms. We are not sure which version of DLSS FG was tested, but we can assume it was the latest version. Regarding memory consumption, ANR FG uses only 214 MB of GPU memory, while DLSS FG requires more than double that, at 562 MB. Reportedly, the ANR FG neural network weights fit within just 0.17 MB, which is incredibly efficient. Based on samples on the company's website, the image quality that ANR delivers matches DLSS and even surpasses it in some cases. Apex Compute also managed to get Hogwarts Legacy and The Last of Us Part II Remastered working, showing the difference compared to DLSS, resulting in frame generation with more visual fidelity. ANR FG is a beta injector built around OptiScaler, which works in any game offering NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation. You can view the results below.
