Welcome to this week’s roundup of triple-distilled AI news.
This week, battle lines were drawn in the chip wars in Taiwan.
Microsoft may need to forget to remember.
And AI techs are fighting for their right to warn us about what they saw.
Let’s dig in.
Made in Taiwan
This week all eyes were on the Computex 2024 event in Taiwan, where most of the world’s high-end AI chips are produced.
GPU top dog NVIDIA unveiled its roadmap for increasingly powerful GPUs and other next-gen AI tech.
CEO Jensen Huang says the company will be releasing a new family of GPUs every year. The Blackwell GPUs are barely shipping yet, but Huang said an upgraded version will launch later this year.
When you take a closer look at the Blackwell performance numbers, you begin to get an idea of the potential impact NVIDIA’s new AI superchip will likely have.
AMD is still playing catchup in the AI chip race but also announced that it will release new generations of AI GPUs annually. With its sights set on NVIDIA, AMD says its new AI chip, the Instinct MI325X GPU beats NVIDIA’s H200 flagship GPU.
The specs are seriously impressive, but it must have been a little awkward bragging about beating the H200 when the Blackwell chips are almost ready to ship.
The AI chip battle between NVIDIA and pretty much every other computing company ratcheted up a notch last week. Big Tech companies, including AMD and Intel, formed a consortium to develop an open AI connectivity standard.
Guess who wasn’t invited to participate?
Forget about it
The Silicon Valley mantra of ‘Move fast and break things’ was in evidence this week.
Microsoft is about to unleash its Windows AI Recall feature which sounds great on paper.
Recall remembers everything you’ve seen and done on your PC and can help out when you can’t remember on which website you saw that great deal, or where you saved your lolcat pics.
But there’s a problem. Tech security experts are saying the way Recall stores the data could be a security disaster. It’s worse than you think, and Microsoft may want to recall Recall.
