Pixel 8 Pro: Google’s AI powered super phone
The Google Pixel 8 Pro is the tech giant’s latest flagship smartphone, and it is a device that truly pushes the boundaries of what we can expect from on-device artificial intelligence (AI). The driving force behind these advancements is the Tensor G3 chip, Google’s semi-custom-designed system on a chip (SoC) that is built specifically to…
The Complex Dynamics of US-China Semiconductor Trade Restrictions
This is a summary of the latest episode of The Circuit with Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg. Congress has recently raised concerns about open-source architecture RISC-V and the potential need for restrictions due to its use by Chinese companies. However, experts agree it will be extremely difficult to actually restrict RISC-V given its open source…
Innovations in Memory Technology
Memory is one of the most critical components of computing, yet most of us don’t think much about it. On a recent episode of The Circuit podcast, hosts Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg interviewed memory expert Steven Woo to discuss the latest developments in memory technology. Here is an expanded summary with some additional details:…
The Chasm for Virtual Reality is Deep and Wide
Over the summer, we ran a consumer survey exploring their interest and current ownership and usage of VR headsets. With Apple’s announcements of Vision Pro, we hoped to gauge the broader consumer opportunity for VR, and maybe someday AR, but also explore how non-owners of VR headsets and owners of VR headsets think about the…
