Datacenter server processor chips have proven valuable as pluggable and removable devices for the socket connectors mounted to a server’s main PCB board. However, the number of contacts per socket connector has dramatically risen over the last few years. New chips offer 3000 to 5000 or more contact pads per flip chip. Typically, the socket […]
How the terabit class of pluggable cables and connectors is advancing
The world of gigabits began some 25 years ago, with a progression of interface lanes and links — from 100G and 200G to 400G and then 800G using IO standard and proprietary connectors and cables. Believe it or not, gigabit lanes were first used in 1999. Today, we’re entering the terabit phase with interface links […]
AI analytics for manufacturers
by Brian McCarson, Vice President and Senior Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is moving into broader adoption. Influenced by open-source communities, the AI domain is making advances quickly – moving from invention to mass replication in just weeks. To unlock potential AI…
John Deere leveraging AI to support welding manufacturing
John Deere is leveraging Intel’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help solve a costly, age-old problem in the manufacturing welding process. Deere is piloting a solution that uses computer vision to automatically spot common defects in the automated welding process in its manufacturing facilities. “Welding is a complicated process,” said Andy Benko, quality director, John Deere…

Intel Pohoiki Beach 64-chip neuromorphic system available for researchers
Intel unveiled its 8 million-neuron neuromorphic system codenamed Pohoiki Beach today at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Electronics Resurgence Initiative in Detroit. Consisting of 64 Loihi research chips, Intel claims Pohoiki Beach can be up to 1,000 times faster and 10,000 times more efficient than CPUs for autonomous driving, robotics and other applications.…
Intel, OSU, and UC San Diego work on reinforcement learning, PartNet could help household robots
Intel AI Lab is working with researchers at Oregon State University and UC San Diego on machine learning approaches that could help robots interact with dynamic environments. They include a combined approach to reinforcement learning and PartNet, a massive dataset of 3D objects with annotated components.
Intel principal SLAM engineer to discuss precision tracking at Robotics Summit
To serve a widening range of applications, robots need to navigate their environments and manipulate objects with greater precision than ever before. At the Robotics Summit & Expo Intel will explain how new technologies are emerging to help developers and users.
How do you connect sensors to the cloud quicker?
Sensor suppliers make cloud connectivity easier and faster by offering special design kits and tools. For example, STMicroelectronics recently launched SensorTile.box, STEVAL-MKSBOX1V1, so users can easily collect and send sensor information to the cloud. With Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity to a smartphone, the multi sensor kit allows the design of wireless IoT and wearable sensor […]
Intel offers approach to IoT scaling and security
While earlier reports claimed that we will see 50 billion devices connected through the IoT by 2020, the reality is we are nowhere close to reaching those numbers. In fact, recent research reports are far more tempered and predict closer to 30 billion devices by the same timeframe. The reason for the scaled down outlook…
A case of IoT fatigue?
