Two promising edge AI approaches have emerged: Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and Graphics Processing Units (GPU). Let's dive into the nuances of each and explore which one reigns supreme. FPGA: The Specialized Champion FPGA-based edge AI solutions leverage the flexibility of programmable logic to optimize AI models for specific use cases. By customizing the design, FPGAs can achieve higher performance per watt and reduced latency compared to traditional CPU-based solutions. For instance, Intel's Stratix 10 series can achieve up to 5 TOPS (tera-operations per second) while consuming only 100W of power.

16+ min ago (203+ words) According to well-known leaker Tom Henderson, new hints suggest that the upcoming Call of Duty title, expected in 2027, might be handled by Sledgehammer Games. The studio recently posted new job listings seeking a Senior Technical Artist, preferably with "AAA mobile or Switch experience." The listing humorously describes this experience as a "bonus XP." Henderson claims there is little doubt about the nature of this project, considering the job posts request candidates familiar with hardware similar to Nintendo's hybrid platform. It's also important to note that Microsoft has committed to bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles, following a ten-year agreement between the two companies. As some may remember, the last Activision title from the Call of Duty series to appear on a Nintendo platform was Call of Duty: Ghosts, released on the Wii U in 2013. Since then, the franchise and…...

The downside is that Garmin has raised its prices across most lineups, making 2025 the most expensive year yet to get the best features. And given Garmin's current stock struggles, I wouldn't be surprised if prices keep climbing next year to appease stockholders. We gave the 2025 Garmin watches " the Vivoactive 6, Instinct 3, Forerunner 570, Forerunner 970, Venu 4, Venu X1, Fenix 8 Pro, and Bounce 2 " generally glowing reviews. But my fellow reviewers and I had to acknowledge how expensive they all were, with mid-range models priced like flagship watches and the most expensive ones costing as much as a great smartphone. Black Friday (temporarily) solves this, bringing the prices down to what they would have cost if Garmin acted like other smartwatch…...

Reuters reported that investigators seized Wei-Jen Lo's computers and issued a statement saying they suspect him of violating Taiwan's National Security Act. TSMC, the world's largest chipmaker, sued Lo on Tuesday.
