AMD Vega, Volta, Skylake-SP, Naples, Knights Mill & Scorpio Going To Shown In Hot Chips 29 Program

The program for Hot Chips 29, which is scheduled to start on August 21, 2017, is now reportedly presented. The program will include many of the most important issues of hardware-year.  The graphics chips AMD Vega and Volta on the CPUs Skylake-SP, Naples and IBM z-series to Knights Mill, Xbox Scorpio, and mobile SoCs.

According to Hot Chips, on the first day of the Hot Chips 29 conference, the conference goes straight to the full: AMD talks about Vega, half an hour later it will follow Nvidia with a lecture on the recently launched Volta GPU. The theme of GPU and Gaming is completed by Microsoft, who wanted to report a little more about the Scorpio engine.

The following IoT session commences with Intel and a look at Atlas Peak, the new SoC product of the manufacturer for Wearables & Co. Following lectures on the first open-source RISC-V chip and the ARM-M3 microcontroller previous to In the afternoon, the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automotive turnaround and ends with the processor evening once again in the processor division. Intel will also reportedly talk about Knights Mill, among other things, but there is a look at a new "Graph-Streaming Processor (GSP) - A Next-Generation Computing Architecture" from ThinCI, as reported by Computer Base.

On the second day of the Hot Chips 29 program, the FPGAs will be discussed. There will be details about the Xilinx RFSoC as well as about the "Xilinx 16 nm Datacenter Device Family with In-package HBM and CCIX Interconnect", where Intel will give a look at Stratix 10.

A major part of the second day will be dedicated to the subject of Neural Net; a keynote by Google will deal with VR, AI, and machine learning before the late afternoon will return to the Hardwar website and as last year in the last two Hours. This will start with Hot's new chipsets 29, followed by AMD Naples and Intel Skylake-SP, completed by the Qualcomm Centriq 2400 to help the ARM server architecture breakthrough.
