Intel, Samsung, and TSMC Demo 3D-Stacked Transistors

https://spectrum.ieee.org/cfet-intel-samsung-tsmc

Summary: Intel, Samsung, and TSMC have demonstrated complementary field-effect transistors (CFETs) at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting. CFETs are a single structure that stacks both types of transistors needed for CMOS logic, potentially doubling transistor density. Chipmakers are transitioning from FinFET to nanosheet or gate-all-around transistors, with CFETs expected to roll out commercially in seven to ten years.

Transformers on Chips

https://www.etched.ai

Summary: Introducing Etched, the world's first transformer supercomputer with architecture etched into silicon chips for powerful transformer inference. It enables real-time voice agents, better coding with tree search, and multicast speculative decoding. The system supports trillion-parameter models, is fully open-source, and expandable to 100T param models. It features 144 GB HBM3E per chip and offers MoE and transformer variants. © 2023 Etched.
