Intel XMM 7480 Offers 4xCA
By Linley Gwennap
Despite a lack of customers, Intel continues to roll out new LTE modem chips annually. At MWC, the company announced the XMM 7480, which can aggregate as many as four carriers (4xCA) on the downlink to deliver 450Mbps (Category 10). The new modem is due to sample in 2H16, with production likely in 1H17.
Under the agreement, Qualcomm will not only provide funds to support ARM architecture server chip R&D, but will also license its server technologies to the joint venture.

Initial Stratix 10 FPGAs will start shipping in Q4 2016
so it's possible they haven't even taped-out yet. and "Stratix 10 FPGA transceivers are integrated using a heterogeneous system-in-package (SiP) approach." so the transceivers they're designing are on different dice. I wonder if they're built on Intel foundry at all.

Cadence design tools certified for TSMC 7nm design starts and 10nm production
Cadence Design Systems has announced that its digital, signoff and custom/analog tools have achieved V1.0 Design Rule Manual (DRM) and SPICE certification from TSMC for its 10nm FinFET process. Cadence and TSMC are also continuing to collaborate on the advancement of 7nm technologies and have completed tools certification and the delivery of the latest Process Design Kit (PDK) for mutual customers to initiate early design starts based on the most current version of the DRM and SPICE model.

They delivered on 20nm for Apple, seem to have done a good job with 16FF+, and it looks like progress on 10nm/7nm is solid.
16ff+ looks pretty good given how good the zynq ultrascale+ chips are. But both Xilinx & Apple seem to be skipping the 10nm to wait for 7nm. I wonder what that's about.
Same-Die-Integration would only make sense if the Communication-Interface is faster and broader.
Would be interesting if the the communication is Cache-Coherent.
xilinx zynq ultrascale+ has 5000+ wire between the quad 64 bit arms and the fpga and has two cache coherent ports which can integrate the processor caches with the fpga memories.
of course this is still a tsmc fpga + intel x86 mcp.
it would be interesting to see when intel manages to implement an altera fpga on its own foundry and on the same dice as the cpu.
for AR/VR there will be probably yet another platform which looks like Hololens. Pay attention to the computation unit of the release Hololens which I think will show where the new platform will be going.
it seems at OCP intel is announcing a xeon with an arria in the same package coupled with qpi links.
I wonder how long it's going to take to get stratix 10+ integrated on the same die (and if we'll ever see stratix 10 on the intel foundry)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for ARM Development Preview running on Qualcomm 64-bit ARMv8-A server Software Development Platform

I think Apple switching to its own in-house processors was an inevitability.
do you think this applies to other cases too ?
i wonder if you would say first iphone design win was 100% immaterial to intel stock price too.
I lean towards thinking Intel has it in the bag. This sort of thing depends far more on the GPU and they probably have to do special work to cope with head movement nicely. If Microsoft are already developing it with an Atom processor controlling it there's no good reason I can see for them to change.
Again, before you make any investment decisions on that "thinking", I'd suggest strongly that you wait to see the release version of hololens.
Again, I invite you to bookmark this post and refer to it when it comes out.
Hell freezes over - MS is putting an Atom Processor into its HoloLens.
But why?
Before you ask that question, I'd suggest that you wait till the release version of hololens comes out and see what the computational engine is. Notice that this is a developer version of the hardware. You are welcome to bookmark this post and respond to it when the real hololens shows us.
i can't tell fully whether you're kidding so i have to interject: in the universe we live in entropy always increases, ie. things get more and more f'ed up as work gets done.
so you can at least accept that intel f'ed up mobile & foundry. progress i guess.
as to qualcomm matching x86, arm on the server is going to be an overnight success after 5+ years of trying
good shtick. you guys need to find a larry in addition to your mo & chips' curly.
actually there are many last cards for intel today: mobile, foundry, modem. imo, these point to a structural (and fatal if i may predict) flaw in intel which will cause them great harm. most probably they had to buy altera to keep them on intel process. i would be not be surprised in the least if no fpga integrated (mcms don't count here) x86 would ever materialize.

Oh my! This is a first. No one has ever tried this before...

iphone Ax cpus with 10nm process from tsmc ?

Keep in mind what a process is called versus its actual characteristics is
increasingly disconnected. Foundries seem to be closing the gap with Intel
in naming artistic license more than actual silicon composition/capabilities.
could you be really that delusional ?

Will Intel leave Mobile, Foundry, and FPGA Business?
https://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/5399-will-intel-leave-mobile-foundry-fpga-business.html
I hadn't seen this before: http://venturebeat.com/2015/08/26/chinas-phytium-plans-to-take-on-intel-with-arm-based-mars-chips/
I wonder why they do that. Is it cost, or are TSMC's processes simply more robust for these kinds of chips?
intel's own fabs are probably optimized for making high speed cpus with custom tools and it's not clear to me if they even have a thick oxide feature for high(ish) voltage transistors (2.5V+). even atom designers get their hands on this process later than core designers so it's not a surprise that ip designers don't get it at all. Also if the ip designers are using any other licensed ip blocks, they wouldn't have been ported to intel fabs and this doesn't even include all the ip companies intel buys all the time and those people have no interest/time to port their stuff to intel fabs.
I think she's confused. I'd be amazed if there is really a single chip Xeon+fpga. What's much more likely is that the first late chip made in intel foundry is coming next year. What's slightly possible is an mcm with a Xeon and fpga with pcie interconnect on a substrate.

iOS doesn't implement a swap file which is why this behavior is necessary.
if they did, to where would they swap ? to flash ? probably not a good idea. in a mobile os without reliable storage backing, a swap is not desirable.
