This chip offers several advantages over other AI chips in the market, making it a promising solution for various IoT applications.

High-performance and low-power AI

One of the key features of the Meteor Lake AI Chip is its ability to run complex AI models on the edge with high speed and efficiency, while consuming less energy than traditional chips. This means that IoT devices can perform AI tasks without compromising their battery life or overall performance.

Hybrid architecture and 3D packaging

The Meteor Lake AI Chip combines multiple types of cores, such as CPU, GPU, and AI, to handle different workloads and optimize performance. Additionally, the chip utilizes Intel’s Foveros 3D packaging technology, which stacks different chips on top of each other, reducing the size and increasing the bandwidth of the chip. This innovative design allows for better integration and performance in IoT devices.

Versatile AI support

Developers will find the Meteor Lake AI Chip to be a versatile tool, as it supports various AI frameworks and libraries, such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenVINO, and oneAPI. This makes it easier for developers to create and deploy AI applications for IoT devices, regardless of the specific framework or library they prefer. The chip can also run different types of AI models, such as computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition, and more.

Competitive edge

Intel’s Meteor Lake AI Chip is scheduled for release in an Acer Swift laptop on December 14 and it will compete with other AI chips from companies like Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, and Google. Intel claims that its chip will offer superior performance, efficiency, and compatibility compared to its rivals, making it an attractive option for IoT developers and manufacturers.

Conclusion

Intel’s Meteor Lake AI Chip has the potential to reshape the IoT landscape by enabling advanced AI capabilities in a wide range of devices. Its high-performance, low-power design, hybrid architecture, and versatile AI support make it a promising solution for various IoT applications. As the chip becomes available in the market, it will be interesting to see how it performs and how it compares to its competitors.

Microsoft has expanded patches for the so-called PrintNightmare vulnerability for Windows 10 version 1607, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016. The fix for the vulnerability can also bypasses the security protections in certain situations, experts say.

The issue was accidentally disclosed by researchers from Hong Kong-based cybersecurity firm Sangfor late last month, at which point it emerged that the issue was different from another bug that was patched by Microsoft on June 8.

The code synthesizer is called Copilot and was developed in collaboration with OpenAI.

Copilot can make recommendations in almost any programming language, but it works best with popular languages like Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Go. It leverages Codex, an AI system trained on publicly available source code and natural language, with the goal of translating comments and code written by a user into auto-generated code snippets, GitHub CEO Nat Friedman said in a blog post.

Friedman also shared that the AI assistant helps you quickly discover alternative ways to solve problems, write tests, and explore new APIs without having to tediously tailor a search for answers on the internet.

Microsoft plans to incorporate GitHub Copilot into Visual Studio Code, a free open-source product, and into the commercial Visual Studio.

The company stated that hackers used a vulnerability (CVE-2021-35941) to remotely wipe data from live disks.

Censys, a security firm, and Ars Technica , on the other hand, believe hackers used an undocumented vulnerability in a system_factory_restore file. According to their investigations, Western Digital had commented out a part of the script that would have required a password before executing a factory reset.

A security expert told Ars Technica that the attackers would have to know the format of the script that triggered the reset to exploit the vulnerability. The hack puts Western Digital in a bad light, as if they they changed the script on purpose.

Some believe that the attackers originally used the CVE-2021-35941 vulnerability to turn the devices into botnets and a rival group used the system_factory_restore flaw to wipe the data from the disks.

Starlink has 69,000 customers signed up so far – but this could reach more than 500,000 in the next 12 months.

Regulators in individual countries must approve Starlink before it can be used.

So far, SpaceX has launched more than 1,500 satellites into orbit, which provide internet to about 12 countries. Musk told MWC that he expects total investment costs in Starlink to be between $20 billion and $30 billion. He also teased two ‘quite significant’ partnerships with major telecoms companies in the MWC interview but declined to give further details.

The company is losing money on its internet terminals, which cost the company $1,000 to make and are sold to customers for around $500 each with a $99 monthly subscription. In May, the company said that more than 50,000 people had placed an order or put down a deposit for Starlink.

SpaceX has said that it is working on building new terminals that cost less.
