Hot Chips 2026: Nvidia breaks down 88-core Vera CPU — spatial multithreading benchmarked, 1.2 TB/s SOCAMM2 memory, agentic workloads detailed, and more

Nvidia’s slide does a good job illustrating, but it’s worth noting the difference compared to traditional SMT nonetheless. With traditional SMT, resources are time-sliced between threads, leading to gaps between BP and d…

Hot Chips 2026: Arm details AGI server CPU with two 70-core N3P chiplets — touts 2 TB/s UCIe fabric link and 12-channel memory controller

The important point is that CMN-S3 is not just an internal CPU mesh, as Arm designed the coherent system to extend outside of the die to extend coherency beyond the die and the socket. The approach is conceptually closer…

Enthusiast mods GTX 1080 Ti with a dual-tower CPU cooler, sees up to 32°C reduction in temps — Mod yields 30W power savings and 9% higher FPS

Overall, the results speak for themselves, and this isn’t even the first time TrashBench has done something like this. He’s previously strapped a CPU cooler on a GTX 960 , though with a lot more grace, and bolted a serve…
