| | | PC World - 10 Sep (PC World)AMD plans to unify the architectures used by its datacenter and consumer graphics architectures in what one company executive is calling a “new DNA,” or a “unified DNA,” that combines its CDNA and RDNA architectures.
The goal is to bring more developers into the fold, a complement to AMD’s adjustment to its consumer Radeon GPU plans to attack mainstream but not flagship enthusiast products.
Like Steve Ballmer’s famous push to land developers, so too is AMD trying to land a core group of software developers that can write apps for Radeon silicon. If AMD concentrates on the small number of customers who will buy a flagship GPU, it won’t attract as many developers as pushing mainstream products, Jack Huynh, AMD’s senior vice president and general manager of Computing and Graphics told a Friday breakfast meeting of reporters at the IFA show in Berlin. Huynh first called the new unified effort “new DNA,” but also referred to it as a unified architecture, or UDNA.
“Part of the big change of AMD is today we have a CDNA architecture [for datacenters] and RDNA for the consumer side,” Huynh said. “Going forward, we’ll call it New DNA. There will be one unified architecture, both Instinct [AMD’s enterprise GPU architecture] and commercial side, so that we unify it. It will be so much easier for developers. Today they have to choose, and it’s not accruing value.
“The reason why we forked it, because then you get the sub-optimizations and recommended issues, but then it’s very difficult for these developers, especially as we’re growing our data business. I mean, now we may introduce it to unify it. That’s going to help it quite a bit. Because remember, I said earlier, I’m thinking about millions of developers, that’s where we want to get to.”
The process will take time, Huynh said. “But that’s why I’m telling the team right now,” he said. “It’s that scale we have to build now.”
Huynh said that AMD had made “mistakes” on the development of RDNA. “Each time we change the memory of a subsystem, that has to reset the matrix on the optimizations,” he said. “I don’t want to do that.”
When developing future generations of RDNA, Huynh said that he didn’t want to change the memory hierarchy and then lose all of the optimizations. “It’s very doable, it just requires advanced planning, and a lot more work to do it. But that’s the direction.”
Toms Hardware noted that AMD’s consumer GPUs have lacked strong AI support, and that the new revisions might allow AMD to more directly attack Nvidia’s CUDA architecture and DLSS. Nvidia has been a favored architecture in consumer AI generation, such as AI art, both because of CUDA’s deep developer support as well as the sheer horsepower of Nvidia GPUs. But when will this happen? And will it be effective? This feels like a plan AMD will begin explaining more in the weeks ahead.

| | | PC World - 9 Sep (PC World)Timekettle has unveiled its W4 Pro AI Interpreter Earbuds at the IFA 2024 tradeshow in Berlin, the first open-fit translator buds with support for audio and video translation, a specialized vocabulary database, and premium sound quality.
The new product is an upgrade over the company’s W3 translator buds, with a more ergonomic open-fit design, upgraded audio hardware, enhanced battery life, and advanced real-time translation capabilities that promise more engaging and effective multilingual conversations.
With instant startup, the W4 Pro is professional, fast and efficient. Dedicated translation modes can meet all your business needs, whether you are meeting face-to-face, remotely over a video call, or in a group boardroom setting.
Their usefulness also extends outside the working day, with the W4 Pro able to assist with all manner of foreign living scenarios, from studying abroad to making new friends, organizing doctor appointments and even ordering food in restaurants.

What problem does Timekettle W4 Pro solve?
Translation software is ideal for communicating with business colleagues in other languages over email, but face-to-face meetings can still be problematic, fraught with misunderstandings, inaccuracies, and awkward silences as the software tries to play catch up with what’s going on in the room. Meanwhile, handheld translator devices can be impersonal and ineffective.
Timekettle aims to change this with its W4 Pro buds. Dubbed ‘AI Interpreter Earbuds’, Timekettle says its earbuds function as your personal global business assistant, and act as a real-life ‘Babel Fish’ to enable free communication across languages.
For those who are not familiar with that Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference, the W4 Pro is a headset that can initiate automatic two-way translation in both conversational and business meeting settings, allowing you to understand those ‘alien’ languages. Real-time translation smooths interactions and enables more natural and instantaneous cross-language communication.

The company’s evolving HybridComm technology leans on AI to provide a seamless multi-user experience. Unlike many alternatives, the experience is hands-free, which means you can maintain eye contact throughout. In removing the obstacles and allowing chatter to flow more freely, the W4 Pro stands to enable deeper connections and more meaningful conversations.
Timekettle supports real-time translation in 40 languages and 93 accents. The W4 Pro’s upgraded three-mic array, enhanced voice recognition and vector noise cancellation (VNC) combat background noise to ensure voices are picked up clearly, with up to 95% accuracy in translations. A personal glossary also lets you add business jargon and other custom terms for more precise translations.

New in W4 Pro is the ability to simultaneously process audio in five different languages.
Media Translation: Best for video calls, unexpected phone calls and streaming media, this mode provides video translation with real-time subtitles and helpful after-event summaries.

A 110mAh battery in each bud is good for six hours of translation or 12 hours of audio playback. Expect them to recharge in an hour when packed in the supplied charging case, which can charge the buds two times. When that’s empty, it’ll take 1.5 hours to recharge over USB-C.
Connecting over Bluetooth 5.3, you’ll need to pair the W4 Pro with a smartphone running Android 10/iOS 14 or later. The companion app can additionally perform offline translation from English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Russian or Korean into English or Chinese.
