IBM’s 2nm Breakthrough: Implications for Chip and Server Makers
IBM last month unveiled its proof of concept for the world's first 2-nanometer transistor technology. Initial projections show the breakthrough could lead to 45% higher performance and 75% lower energy use than today's 7nm processors.
While 2nm technology is a few years away from coming to devices, IBM's success could benefit much of the chip industry. While AMD and TSMC's advancements in recent years put...
A Tale of Two 3rd Gen Processors: AMD & Intel
In the latest chapter of the AMD-Intel battle for global chip dominance, both companies are targeting the server market with their 3rd generation x86 CPUs. Earlier this year AMD released its EPYC "Milan" chips and Intel countered with its Xeon Scalable Processor (SP), codenamed "Ice Lake."
Server processors: x86
While AMD and Intel manufacture and sell a suite of chips for computer systems, EPYC and Xeon...
PowerShell is Top Attack Vector for Critical Security Threats: Research
PowerShell was the source of more than a third of critical security threats detected by Cisco Secure Endpoint in the second half of 2020.
Dual-use tool exploitation was the top threat category detected by Cisco, followed by ransomware, fileless malware, and credential dumping, with PowerShell a primary vector in those last two categories also.
Ransomware has been in the headlines quite a bit, thanks to the...
