Published by skeptic

GIGAIPC, a company renowned for its innovative approach to compact computing has this week introduced its new PICO-ITX series boards with ARM SoC. These single-board computers are designed to deliver robust performance in a remarkably small form factor, measuring just 100 mm x 72 mm. This makes them ideal for applications where space is at a premium, but performance cannot be compromised. PICO-G350A & PICO-G350B The series includes several models, each tailored to specific needs and requirements. The PICO-G350A and PICO-G350B, for instance, are equipped with an ARM SoC and MediaTek MT8365 Arm Quad-Core Cortex-A53 processor. This combination ensures not only low power consumption but also impressive processing power, making these boards suitable for a wide range of applications, from smart retail to industrial automation. For those seeking even greater performance, the PICO-N97A model features an Intel Processor N97. This board is particularly well-suited for Industry 4.0 applications, thanks to its ability to operate in harsh environments, low power consumption, and extensive I/O options. Potential of Compact Computing The implications of compact embedded SBCs like …

Apple Settles Trade Secret Lawsuit With SoC Startup Rivos

Apple Settles Trade Secret Lawsuit With SoC Startup Rivos

Published by skeptic

Apple has reached an agreement with Rivos, the SoC company that it sued in 2022 for theft of trade secrets, reports Bloomberg. Rivos will submit to a forensic examination of its systems to remove any confidential Apple information. Rivos hired more than 40 employees from Apple, including several former high-ranking engineers, leading Apple to file a lawsuit in May 2022. Apple accused Rivos of poaching employees and stealing chip trade secrets via those employees. Rivos is designing SoCs that would compete with Apple’s A-series and M-series chips. According to Apple, at least two engineers hired by Rivos took “gigabytes of sensitive SoC specifications and design files” during their last few days at Apple. The employees used USB drives and AirDrop to transfer sensitive Apple material to their own personal devices, and allegedly stole presentations on unreleased SoCs. Apple asked for an injunction against the employees that joined Rivos to prevent them from continuing to leak sensitive data, and it sought compensation for the loss caused by trade secret misappropriation and Rivos’ “unjust enrichment” at Apple’s …
