Microsoft Silicon News Today

Its quiet. Too quiet. To any external observer, Apple appears to have built up an insurmountable lead with its custom silicon. Whats Microsoft up to?

OPINION: Microsoft should stick with what it's good at and leave Apple to create the next generation of laptop chips.

Earlier this week, we learned that Microsoft might be interested in following the Apple recipe of developing custom silicon for its ambitions. However, this shouldn't surprise anyone...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (PRWEB) May 04, 2023 -- Liquido, the next generation payments company for Latin America, emerged from stealth today to launch publicly.

Microsoft has been working for years on custom silicon for the data center. Recently, we learned the company was making progress on developing a custom neural processing...

Microsoft is designing an Arm processor to do for Windows what Apple Silicon did for Macs, says a new report. However, we think it may just be customizing a Qualcomm chip again.

lumireleon making your own cpu does not necessarily mean money will be saved, off-the shelf CPUs have a massive advantage: COMPETITION. Simply put the fastest is picked. It sounds like Microsoft are making their own SoC, not designing the CPU cores themselves. They can still buy off the shelf core designs (probably N2 or even V1 cores), and pair them up with things like off the shelf 25GbE network cores to make something that properly fits their needs. But for me the interesting thing here is w...
