The next episode of Die Shrink will see KarbinCry join yet again to discuss all of the presentations, announcements, and technology discussed from Hot Chips this year. Presentations and subjects that stood out (to us) include:

  • Intel Granite Rapids' Design, DDR5 Support, and Performance Claims
  • Intel Sierra Forest
  • AMD Zen 4 EPYC Architecture Overview
  • AMD Phoenix
  • UCIe
  • Photonics
  • FPGAs (Many were presented and discussed this year)
  • Whatever else you guys want!

What stood out to you?  What do you have questions about? You have ~16 hours (till tomorrow afternoon US Central Time) to submit, and you also have access to all of these presentations at the following link to think of questions:

How much energy does the AIE in phoenix use? It's 10 tflops of Int8 don't seem particularly impressive compared to the integrated GPU's 8.6 tflops of FP16, but maybe its just way more efficient?

I hope Intel are putting more effort into Sierra Forest than their copy-paste presentation. I think it has a good chance of being Intel's most power efficient server processor by a long way, but that's quite a low bar to clear. I doubt it'll beat Bergamo on a per-socket basis in performance but maybe it can get close on perf-per-watt. I don't see it beating Bergamo on cost either. And Turin-Dense might double performance again.
