Faulty RTX 4090 connectors are still burning out – and one ‘smart’ solution has created even more problems

Remember the RTX 4090 cable-melting fiasco? Way back in November 2022, following the launch of Nvidia’s mighty new flagship RTX 4090 graphics card, there were scattered reports of the GPU’s power connector overheating and melting, effectively rendering the $1,599 (£1,519/AU$2,959) component unusable. Now, almost a year and a half later, it looks like the problem…

TSMC’s System-on-Wafer Platform Goes 3D: CoW-SoW Stacks Up the Chips

TSMC has been offering its System-on-Wafer integration technology, InFO-SoW, since 2020. For now, only Cerebras and Tesla have developed wafer scale processor designs using it, as while they have fantastic performance and power efficiency, wafer-scale processors are extremely complex to develop and produce. But TSMC believes that not only will wafer-scale designs ramp up in…

TSMC Jumps Into Silicon Photonics, Lays Out Roadmap For 12.8 Tbps COUPE On-Package Interconnect

Optical connectivity – and especially silicon photonics – is expected to become a crucial technology to enable connectivity for next-generation datacenters, particularly those designed HPC applications. With ever-increasing bandwidth requirements needed to keep up with (and keep scaling out) system performance, copper signaling alone won’t be enough to keep up. To that end, several companies are developing…

SiPearl’s Rhea-2 CPU Added to Roadmap: Second-Gen European CPU for HPC

SiPearl, a processor designer supported by the European Processor Initiative, is about to start shipments of its very first Rhea processor for high-performance computing workloads. But the company is already working on its successor currently known as Rhea-2, which is set to arrive sometimes in 2026 in Exascale supercomputers. SiPearl’s Rhea-1 datacenter-grade system-on-chip packs 72…
