IBM pioneered neuromorphic hardware a decade ago with TrueNorth and is now iterating with NorthPole, a 22-billion-transistor prototype that fuses memory and compute on the same die to deliver 13 TB/s of on-chip bandwidth., If you go back a similar amount of time, you get to 2011 and Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs built on 32 nm silicon. An Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7 2700K chip had 1.1 billion transistors back in 2011., IBM verfolgt nun einen neuen Ansatz: sogenannte quantum Low-Density Parity Check (qLDPC)-Codes. Diese sollen mit etwa einem Zehntel der bisherigen Qubitanzahl auskommen und erlauben dadurch einen kompakteren Systemaufbau. Eine weitere Neuerung ist die Fähigkeit zur Echtzeitdiagnose von Fehlern., The integrated circuits' journey from a hand-wired germanium prototype to today’s nanoscale, multi-billion-transistor marvels is a testament to the power of human ingenuity., The WSE-3 packs 900,000 AI cores onto a single processor and integrates an entire GPU cluster’s worth of computing power onto a single chip. Its high bandwidth, low latency properties are powered by 4 trillion transistors, a more than 50 percent increase over the previous generation thanks to the use of newer chipmaking technology., .
