NVIDIA's Linux open-source graphics driver Nouveau will not face much trouble with HDMI 2.1 integration, as AMD witnesses a setback in this department. NVIDIA May Take The Lead In HDMI 2.1 Integration In Linux, As The Firm's Close-Source Approach Worked Out Perfectly For those unaware, the HDMI Forum, a firm responsible for maintaining HDMI standards, rejected AMD's request for public access to HDMI 2.1 functionality, meaning the platform was deprived of the standard for over three years. Despite being released several years ago, Team Red has faced hindrances in enabling the standard with the AMD graphics driver on Linux; however, in […]

Nancy Pelosi, a career politician, Democratic party heavyweight, and a household name on the hill, is quickly becoming an investment guru in her own right. After consistently beating the market, Pelosi has spawned an entire genre of retail investing on the back of a committed army of copy traders who try to emulate her every financial move. Now, the career politician is attracting a fresh bout of scrutiny and attention vis-a-vis a single NVIDIA trade that has transformed into a phenomenal rainmaker.

This step came after the CUDA platform witnessed an increasing adoption from third-party developers and companies who utilized NVIDIA's software powerhouse to upgrade their hardware capabilities. The use of translation layers for running CUDA on […]
NVIDIA's qualification tests seem to be giving HBM manufacturers a hard time, as yield rates are significantly low compared to traditional memory products. HBM & Semiconductor Industry Sees a Common Enemy, As Low Yield Rates Raise Concerns On Production Volumes The issue of yield rates is common, mainly associated with semiconductor wafers when measured as the number of semiconductor chips produced from a single silicon wafer. Maintaining yield rates at an optimal level has been a huge concern and task for firms like TSMC and Samsung Foundry, but it seems like this issue has also crawled into the HBM industry. […]
