Qualcomm Unveils HBC Architecture for AI Accelerators with 6x Energy EfficiencyHardware

Qualcomm Unveils HBC Architecture for AI Accelerators with 6x Energy Efficiency

Qualcomm has unveiled its High-Bandwidth Compute (HBC) architecture, designed to tackle the critical 'memory wall' bottleneck in AI workloads. By integrating AI accelerators directly beneath LPDDR memory stacks using through-silicon vias, the solution achieves six times higher bandwidth-per-watt than HBM and 200 times greater capacity than on-chip SRAM. This eliminates the need for expensive HBM solutions and complex interconnects, reducing power consumption and thermal output while maintaining cost efficiency. The technology promises scalable performance without significant cost increases.

Origami Circuits: Paper as the Foundation for ElectronicsHardware

Origami Circuits: Paper as the Foundation for Electronics

A team from the City University of Hong Kong has pioneered a method to embed electronic circuits directly into paper using origami and kirigami techniques. This innovation eliminates the need for copper tape or specialized equipment, relying instead on a paper-like material infused with a gallium-indium liquid metal alloy. When folded or cut, the material’s oxide layer breaks, forming conductive pathways with resistances as low as 4.4 Ω/cm. The LiqMetCraft toolkit simplifies prototyping, offering templates and a browser-based app for designing interactive paper-based devices.
