The IEEE Technical Committee on Microprocessors and Microcomputers holding Hot Chips 24 conference next month.
Focused on "high performance chips", we are expecting plenty of sessions on current technologies, as well as a few interesting updates on upcoming technologies.
AMD will be discussing its current Trinity APU as well as Radeon HD 7970 architecture. Intel will be elaborating on the power management in Ivy Bridge as well as its Medfield Atom Z2460 chip. Much more interesting, however, should be AMD's talks about the Bobcat successor Jaguar as well as die-stacking technology.
Intel has announced a talk about its Knight's Corner many-core architecture as well additional information about the 280 mV IA-32 processor in CMOS that was previously announced at ISSCC 2012. There should also be talk about Intel's vision of a near-threshold processor, as first discussed during IDF Fall 2012.
Intel says this architecture could be 5 to 10 times more efficient than processors used today. On that note, former Intel CTO Pat Gelsinger, now president and COO of EMC, will be on stage as well and offer a talk on cloud technology for big data.
Other news will include the Power7+ chip from IBM, Oracle's 8-socket 16-core Sparc T5 CPU, as well as Fujitsu's 16-core Sparc64 X chip.
Hot Chips is scheduled to take place from August 27 to 29 at Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino.
