Worst of CES Awards: The least private, least secure, least repairable, and least sustainable
Want fatuous stuff that treats you with contempt? Look no further
https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/07/worst_of_ces/
Six right-to-repair advocates assembled on Friday morning to present Repair.org’s second annual Worst in Show Awards, a selection of the “the least private, least secure, least repairable, and least sustainable gadgets at CES.”
In a presentation streamed on YouTube, author and activist Cory Doctorow presided over the condemnation session. He said that he has been attending the Consumer Electronics Show for decades and vendors will gladly enumerate the supposed benefits of their products.
“But what none of those people will ever do is tell you how it will fail,” said Doctorow. “And that’s kind of our job here today, to talk about the hidden or maybe not so hidden and completely foreseeable failure modes of these gadgets.”

Processors
Intel announced its 12th Gen Intel Core family of mobile processors with the launch of the H-series mobile processors. The flagship Core i9-12900HK offers up to 5 GHz frequencies, 14 cores (6 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and 20 threads. It particularly targets high-performance gaming laptops. The company also added a lineup of 22 new 65- and 35-watt 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors.
AMD introduced a wide range of new products, including Ryzen 6000 Series processors with on-chip graphics available for notebook PCs, Radeon RX 6000S Series GPUs optimized for thin-and-light gaming laptops, Radeon RX 6000M Series GPUs for premium gaming laptops, Radeon RX 6500 XT and Radeon RX 6400 desktop graphics cards, and new technologies to boost performance and extend battery life on laptops.

Sony tulee sähköautojen markkinoille
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/13006-sony-tulee-saehkoeautojen-markkinoille
Sony tunnetaan ennen kaikkea suosituista kulutuselektroniikan brändeistään, PlayStation ehkä nykyään sen keihäänkärkenä. Las Vegasin virtuaalisiksi muuttuneilla CES-messuilla yhtiö ilmoitti perustavansa kevään aikana uuden tytäryhtiön, joka tulee omilla ajoneuvoillaan sähköautojen markkinoille.
Sony Mobility perustetaan myöhemmin kevään aikana. Aivan tyhjästä yhtiö ei ponnista, sillä CES-messuillakin se esitteli Vision-S 02 -nimistä sähkömaasturin protoa. Ensimmäisen polven protoaan Sony testaa jo julkisilla teillä. Uutuus on 7-paikkainen maasturi, jossa on suuret sisätilat.
Yrityksen perustaminen on todistus siitä, että autojen valmistus on ison murroksen edessä. Polttomoottori on vaatinut omaa erikoisosaamistaan, jonka rakentaminen on kestänyt suuriltakin nimiltä vuosikymmeniä. Sähköauto on eri laite, joka vaatii uudenlaista osaamista. Tämän takia markkina tulee myllertymään jatkossa, ja osansa kasvusta tulevat haluamaan Applen ja Googlen kaltaiset yritykset.

OnePlus 10 Pro esiteltiin virallisesti
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/13013-oneplus-10-pro-esiteltiin-virallisesti
OnePlussan perustaja Pete Lau on tuttuun tapaan vuotanut uuden lippulaivapuhelimen ominaisuuksia vuodenvaihteen aikana ja sen jälkeen. Nyt laite on esitelty virallisesti Kiinan markkinoille. Eurooppaan uutuus tulee myöhemmin tänä vuonna. OnePlus 10 Pro perustuu uuteen Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 -järjestelmäpiirin. LPDDR5-keskusmuistia on jopa 12 gigatavua. Laitteessa on myös kaikkien aikojen suurin akku OnePlus-puhelimessa ja 80 watin pikalataus.
Pikalataus on samalla brändätty uusiksi ja nyt sen nimi on SuperVOOC. USBC-kaapelin yli 5000 milliampeeritunnin akkua latautuu yhdestä prosentista sataan vain 32 minuutissa. Laite tukee myös langatonta latausta 50 watin teholla. Langattomasti akku täyttyy 47 minuutissa.

Intel tricked iMessage to run on a PC in this mind-blowing CES demo
Believe your eyes.
https://www.macworld.com/article/563292/intel-imessage-pc-ces-demo.html
For a company with absolutely no presence, Apple sure loomed large over CES this year. There was the Dell Touch Bar, M1 Max shaming, and several HomeKit announcements, but a small demo from Intel might have been the most intriguing.
During its keynote presentation, Intel showed off an upcoming laptop running the recently acquired Screenovate software that allows “advanced integration between multiple devices based on different operating environments.” The feature is exclusive to the next generation of Intel’s own Evo line of laptops arriving later this year, and if it works as Intel says, it could be a game-changer.
In a short demo, Intel showed off an Evo laptop communicating with an iPhone to receive and reply to iMessages using an app built by Intel. Additionally, it shows an Apple Watch sharing health data with the PC, including heart-rate, ECG, and blood-oxygen readings received directly from the watch. As far as we know, it’s the first time Messages and Health have ever been shown running on a PC.

Intel, AMD, and Nvidia will never beat an Apple silicon Mac, despite what their benchmarks say.
Why Intel, AMD, and Nvidia will never beat an Apple silicon Mac
https://www.macworld.com/article/563571/intel-amd-nvidia-processor-apple-silicon-mac.html
Chip companies can tout benchmarks all day, but Apple has an advantage they don’t: Decades of macOS optimization.
Once upon a time, you could watch a keynote presentation from any major computer chip company and rest easy in the confidence that the name “Apple” would never pass the lips of any presenter. The message always seemed to be, as per the classic Mad Men meme, “I don’t think of you at all.”
But oh how the tables have turned. With the transition to Apple silicon well underway, and the debut of the high-powered M1 Pro and M1 Max chips last summer, major players in the silicon market are hastening to not only mention Apple, but to prove how much better their latest products are than that computer company that nobody used to care about.

The biggest news from CES 2022
https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/10/the-biggest-news-from-ces-2022/?tpcc=tcplusfacebook
Be it virtual, in-person or some mix of the two, CES is a beast. How could you keep up with all of the news flooding out of the show? You can’t, really. The big outlets each put a small army on CES coverage and only really scratch the surface.
With that in mind, and with CES 2022 now wrapped, we figured it was worthwhile to bring it all together in one neat little box — a recap of our top stories of the week, the trends we noticed and some of our favorite bits. It’s by no means exhaustive, but it’ll give you a good sense of the show if you were too busy to pay attention in real time.

CES 2022: In Person But Not Many People
https://semiengineering.com/ces-2022-in-person-but-not-many-people/?cmid=d37ae274-d1bd-4bd9-9fb6-4ed063c60f61
CES was and is officially hybrid, with some events on-site in Las Vegas and some online. But many of the large exhibitors pulled out of attending in person (including Cadence, although we might be a big exhibitor at DAC but at CES we are tiny). A lot of the press seems to have stayed away in-person too. To be honest, a lot of the press has been gradually staying away for years since so much is available online that it is not necessary to endure the travails of fighting a hundred thousand people.

E Ink and BMW made a big splash at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show with a car wrapped in e-paper. The custom BMW iX Flow can change color at the touch of a button (see figure). It can flash to let you find your car when you forget where it was parked, or it can change color to optimize solar heating and cooling.
E Ink and Lenovo also were sharing the spotlight with a dual display laptop (Fig. 2). One was a conventional touchscreen that’s available when you open the clamshell laptop. The other was an E Ink display that was accessible when the laptop is closed. It’s also a touchscreen interface.

Indigo Technologies was highlighting its new Flow Plus, which is part of the company’s Flow family of lightweight electric vehicles, at this year’s CES. I spoke (video above) with CEO Will Graylin about the announcement as well as the underlying technology.
Indigo Technologies offers both its wheel-motor technology as well as finished vehicles. Targeting ride-sharing and delivery, the lightweight vehicles will have a 250-mile range using a 40-kWh battery. The wheel motors not only provide an efficient ride, but a very smooth one as well because of its split stator design.

The only thing more surprising than Ryzen 6000′s performance numbers is the amount of trash that AMD talks about Intel’s Alder Lake.
AMD 6nm Ryzen 6000 ‘Rembrandt’ SoC Deep Dive: Gunning For Alder Lake
By Paul Alcorn published about 15 hours ago
Zen 3+, 6nm TSMC and RDNA 2 collide
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-6nm-ryzen-6000-rembrandt-soc-deep-dive-gunning-for-alder-lake?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_content=tomsguide&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social
AMD whipped the covers off of its promising Ryzen 6000 ‘Rembrandt’ mobile processors at CES 2022, with standout features including the new Zen 3+ CPU architecture and RDNA 2 integrated graphics fabbed on TSMC’s 6nm node. Today marks the launch of the inaugural 35W HS-series models that attack the thin-and-light market and can boost up to 5.0 GHz on the flagship model. AMD also introduced a new Radeon 600M Series branding for its integrated graphics.
AMD is quite scathing in its assessment of Intel’s new Alder Lake processors, calling into question the company’s x86 hybrid approach as it claims the Ryzen 6000 chips have better performance, performance-per-watt, and battery life. AMD’s representatives were clear in our briefings: They believe that Ryzen 6000′s Zen 3+ cores offer more power efficiency than Alder Lake’s Efficiency cores and more performance than its Performance cores, but all with one group of eight high-performance Zen 3+ cores that AMD claims have a superior dynamic range.
With a focus on maximum performance density, AMD transitioned the chips to the 6nm TSMC process and relied heavily on power optimizations instead of increasing IPC or making microarchitectural changes. However, the move from 7nm to 6nm allows the company to cram in more features per square millimeter of silicon — TSMC’s 6nm process offers up to 18% higher logic density than the 7nm “N7” process, but similar power and performance metrics.
Paired with fine-grained power improvements, drastically improved I/O like DDR5/LPDDR5, and the new RDNA 2 engine that features higher peak clock speeds and IPC over the prior-gen Cezanne chips, the Ryzen 6000 ‘Rembrandt’ chips look to wring impressive gains out of the new revamped Zen 3+ architecture.

State of Play Today
Currently in the market is Intel’s Ice Lake 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable platform, built on Intel’s 10nm process node with up to 40 Sunny Cove cores. The die is large, around 660 mm2, and in our benchmarks we saw a sizeable generational uplift in performance compared to the 2nd Generation Xeon offering. The response to Ice Lake Xeon has been mixed, given the competition in the market, but Intel has forged ahead by leveraging a more complete platform coupled with FPGAs, memory, storage, networking, and its unique accelerator offerings. Datacenter revenues, depending on the quarter you look at, are either up or down based on how customers are digesting their current processor inventories (as stated by CEO Pat Gelsinger).
That being said, Intel has put a large amount of effort into discussing its 4th Generation Xeon Scalable platform, Sapphire Rapids. For example, we already know that it will be using >1600 mm2 of silicon for the highest core count solutions, with four tiles connected with Intel’s embedded bridge technology. The chip will have eight 64-bit memory channels of DDR5, support for PCIe 5.0, as well as most of the CXL 1.1 specification. New matrix extensions also come into play, along with data streaming accelerators, quick assist technology, all built on the latest P-core designs currently present in the Alder Lake desktop platform, albeit optimized for datacenter use (which typically means AVX512 support and bigger caches). We already know that versions of Sapphire Rapids will be available with HBM memory, and the first customer for those chips will be the Aurora supercomputer at Argonne National Labs, coupled with the new Ponte Vecchio high-performance compute accelerator.
