Den nya Apple M2 presenterades under teknikjättens WWDC 2022-konferens den 6 juni. Cupertino-företaget slösar ingen tid, nästa generations chip från Apple tillkännages bara åtta månader efter M1 Pro, M1 Max och M1 Ultra och kommer att finnas i de senaste MacBooks. Apple M2 verkar vara ett bra stycke arkitektoniskt arbete, som förbättras i de flesta avseenden jämfört med Apple M1 , som för närvarande sitter i gamla MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13" (2020) och Apple Mac mini. M2 är ett så kallat SoC (System on a chip) med totalt 8 CPU-kärnor, uppdelade i 4 strömsnåla varianter och 4 med högre prestanda. Chippet har även en GPU med 10 kärnor och en så kallad neural motor som ska klara 15,8 biljoner operationer per sekund, en förbättring med mer än 40 % jämfört med M1. TDP (strömförbrukning) bör ligga mellan 10 och 15 watt. Andra generationens Apple-chip tillverkas med en förbättrad 5 nm-process, har totalt 20 miljarder transistorer, 100 GB/s minnesbandbredd (50% förbättring … [Read more...] about Apple M2 tillkännagavs under WWDC 2022 – snabbare och lika strömsnål som M1

AI Flying Off the Shelves: Restocking Robot Rolls Out to Hundreds of Japanese Convenience Stores
Tokyo-based startup Telexistence this week announced it will deploy NVIDIA AI-powered robots to restock shelves at hundreds of FamilyMart convenience stores in Japan. There are 56,000 convenience stores in Japan — the third-highest density worldwide. Around 16,000 of them are run by FamilyMart. Telexistence aims to save time for these stores by offloading repetitive tasks like refilling shelves of beverages to a robot, allowing retail staff to tackle more complex tasks like interacting with customers. It’s just one example of what can be done by Telexistence’s robots, which run on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI and robotics platform. The company is also developing AI-based systems for warehouse logistics with robots that sort and pick packages. “We want to deploy robots to industries that support humans’ everyday life,” said Jin Tomioka, CEO of Telexistence. “The first space we’re tackling this is through convenience stores — a huge network that supports daily life, especially in … [Read more...] about AI Flying Off the Shelves: Restocking Robot Rolls Out to Hundreds of Japanese Convenience Stores
Design in the Age of Digital Twins: A Conversation With Graphics-Pioneer Donald Greenberg
Asked about the future of design, Donald Greenberg holds up a model of a human aorta. “After my son became an intravascular heart surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, he hired one of my students to use CAT scans and create digital 3D models of an aortic aneurysm,” said the computer graphics pioneer in a video interview from his office at Cornell University. The models enabled custom stents that fit so well patients could leave the hospital soon after they’re inserted. It’s one example Greenberg gives of how computer graphics are becoming part of every human enterprise. A Whole New Chapter Expanding the frontier, he’s creating new tools for an architecture design course based on today’s capabilities for building realistic 3D worlds and digital twins . It will define a holistic process so everyone from engineers to city planners can participate in a design. The courseware is still at the concept stage, but his passion for it is palpable. “This is my next big project, and I’m … [Read more...] about Design in the Age of Digital Twins: A Conversation With Graphics-Pioneer Donald Greenberg
Oppo Reno 8 Pro review: Style and substance
Rating Critic 3.5 Top Features Striking design Great performance Dependable battery life A good-looking smartphone can often tilt the balance in its favour as it does play an important role in the buyers’ minds. Oppo has given us some of the best-looking smartphones with its Reno series. For years the formula had been the same – a spectacular design with impressive but not the greatest internals, and the Reno 8 Pro is no different. Priced at Rs 45,999, the Reno 8 Pro falls in the premium mid-range segment. While the design shouts premium, the internals are not-so-premium. The Reno 8 Pro comes with a powerful, if not the most powerful, Mediatek Dimensity 8100-Max paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Aiding the Dimensity chip is Oppo's own MariSilicon X NPU, promising to handle imaging chops. Then, there's an AMOLED display, a 50MP camera and a 32MP one on the front. , The thing with a lot of Oppo, OnePlus and … [Read more...] about Oppo Reno 8 Pro review: Style and substance
Apple announces the new super-efficient M2 chip at WWDC 2022
Audio player loading… The Apple M2 is finally here. Revealed during the tech giant’s WWDC 2022 event , the new chip is the next generation of Apple silicon that will power the latest MacBooks and iPads. The Apple M2 chip is a significant advance over the Apple M1 chip which powered the last generation of MacBook Air, along with the MacBook Pro 13-inch and Apple Mac Mini. The Apple M2 chip is an 8-core SoC, featuring a 4+4 core configuration, with four performance cores and four efficiency cores, running with a TDP around 10-15 watts. The second generation of Apple silicon is designed on an enhanced 5nm process, with 5 billion transistors, 100GB/s of memory bandwidth, and up to 24GB of unified memory. The M2 features a 10-core GPU, and a neural engine capable of 5.8 trillion operations per second, more than 40% more operations than on the M1. This story is developing… … [Read more...] about Apple announces the new super-efficient M2 chip at WWDC 2022
