Ampere is picking up a lot of attention right now, and it's because two major developments share its name: NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, for one, and Ampere (the company) for its CPU advancements in the HCC arena. In this one, we're talking about the HCC Ampere CPUs, specifically Altra. We're also covering advancements in supercomputing and the Top 500 list, Apple's axing of Intel's contract, Raijintek's new aftermarket GPU air cooler, and plenty more. Raja Koduri's "BFP" Intel GPU tweets also get some coverage, mostly for the behind-the-scenes look at a bring-up lab.
