With performance comparable to the Nvidia V100 GPU, a common accelerator in HPC but better energy consumption numbers and memory bandwidth potential, Graphcore can turn heads in supercomputing. That ...

A British chip startup has launched what it claims is the world’s most complex AI chip, the Colossus MK2 or GC200 IPU (intelligence processing unit). Graphcore is positioning its MK2 against Nvidia’s ...

Graphcore claims its new Colossus MK2 is the ‘world’s most complex processor,’ packing more transistors in a smaller die than Nvidia’s A100 while outpacing the GPU by several times in performance and ...

MLPerf, the benchmark suite of tests for how long it takes to train a computer to perform machine learning tasks, has a new contender with the release Wednesday of results showing Graphcore, the ...

There is a lot riding on the use of artificial intelligence technology to help us take giant leaps ahead in solving complex challenges — whether it’s medical breakthroughs, building better ...

British chipmaker Graphcore has Nvidia in its crosshairs with the launch of its second-generation artificial intelligence (AI) chip, which boasts 59.4 billion transistors. If Graphcore isn't ringing ...

Greater scalability and new software increases performance by 50-fold over the last twelve months. Graphcore, the UK-based AI Unicorn, submitted a raft of new benchmarks to MLCommons in December, ...

Graphcore co-founder and CEO Nigel Toon says that "tens of thousands" of his start-up's intelligent processing units (IPUs) have now been shipped. Microsoft is using Graphcore's chips in some of its ...

The 3D stacking of chips has been the subject of much speculation and innovation in the past decade, and we will be the first to admit that we have been mostly thinking about this as a way to cram ...

The article was updated to reflect that the correct number of transistors on the Colossus MK2 is 59.4, not 598.4. The competition to build the most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) processor is ...
