Introducing NVIDIA Blackwell: Transforming AI with trillion-parameter models
NVIDIA has unveiled the Blackwell platform, a new advancement in computing that enables organizations to build and run real-time generative AI on trillion-parameter large language models, all while reducing costs and energy consumption by up to 25 times compared to its predecessor.
The Blackwell GPU architecture introduces six transformative technologies for accelerated computing, aimed at unlocking breakthroughs in various fields including data processing, engineering simulation, electronic design automation, computer-aided drug design, quantum computing, and generative AI.
Apple's M3 processors power the new MacBook Pro and iMac
Apple has rolled out its new chip models: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, which power refreshed iMac and MacBook Pro computers. These chips are built using a more compact 3-nanometer process technology, potentially boosting performance and enabling new features for Mac computers. This new lineup represents a notable progression from Apple’s previous M1 and M2 chip series.
The M3 chip family comes with an upgraded GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), which Apple claims is a big step forward in graphics technology for their products. New features include Dynamic Caching and debut rendering technologies like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading for Macs. These improvements are said to make rendering speeds up to 2.5 times faster than the previous M1 chips
