Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CEO Lisa Su paid her first visit to Korea since her appointment in 2014, signaling the company’s intent to ramp up efforts to strengthen partnerships with Korean tech firms amid fierce competition with Nvidia in the global artificial intelligence (AI) chip market. Samsung Electronics said Wednesday that Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong invited Su to the company's guest house in Seoul for a banquet. Before their meeting, Su visited Samsung's semiconductor plant in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, and signed a memorandum of understanding to expand strategic collaboration on next-generation AI memory and computing technologies. Under the agreement, AMD chose Samsung as the primary supplier of HBM4 high-bandwidth memory chips for its next-generation Instinct MI455X graphics processing units (GPUs), as well as advanced dynamic random access memory solutions for sixth-generation EPYC central processing units (CPUs), codenamed “Venice.” The two companies also agreed to discuss opportunities for a foundry partnership through which Samsung would provide foundry services for next-generation AMD products. Over the past two decades, Samsung and AMD have continued to cooperate in graphic, mobile and computing technologies. In particular, Samsung served as the key supplier of HBM3E for AMD’s MI350X and MI355 GPUs. “From industry-leading HBM4 and next-generation memory architectures to cutting-edge foundry and advanced packaging, Samsung is uniquely positioned to deliver unrivaled turnkey capabilities that support AMD’s evolving AI road map,” said Jun Young-hyun, head of Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions Division, which oversees the company's semiconductor business. Su also expressed excitement about the cooperation. “We are thrilled to expand our work with Samsung, bringing together their leadership in advanced memory with our Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs and rack-scale platforms,” she said. “Integration across the full computing stack, from silicon to s...

SEOUL, March 18 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co. said Wednesday it has signed an agreement with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) to supply its latest high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips for the U.S. firm's next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators. Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), Samsung Electronics has been designated as a preferred supplier of HBM4 for AMD's Instinct MI455X, its latest graphics processing unit (GPU) for AI data centers, according to the company. The deal marks Samsung Electronics' first official HBM4 agreement since it began shipping the chips in February. Lisa Su, chief executive officer (CEO) of AMD, was visiting South Korea as part of the partnership deal arrangement. Samsung Electronics' sixth-generation HBM4 uses a 4-nanometer logic process on the base die to improve data control efficiency, enabling data transfer speeds of up to 13 gigabits per second (Gbps) and bandwidth of up to 3.3 terabits per second (Tbps). The two companies will also collaborate on high-performance double data rate 5 (DDR5) memory solutions to support AMD's Helios, a next-generation rack-scale AI platform, as well as AI data center GPUs. Samsung Electronics said they plan to expand cooperation beyond next-generation memory, including HBM4, to advanced foundry and packaging services to drive further innovation in the AI computing ecosystem. Samsung Electronics and AMD have partnered since 2007, with Samsung having supplied graphics double data rate (GDDR) dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for AMD's graphics cards. "Samsung and AMD share a common goal of advancing AI computing, and this agreement will expand the scope of our collaboration," Vice Chairman Jun Young-hyun said during a MOU signing ceremony held in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul. "From industry-leading HBM4 and next-generation memory architectures to cutting-edge foundry and packaging technologies, Samsung offers comprehensive capabilities to support AMD's AI road map."

On a cloudless sunny day in October 1950, ornithologists Elizabeth and David Lack stood on a mountain pass in the Pyrenees and observed a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle – clouds of migrating insects. The Puerto de Bujaruelo pass in 2021 Up to 500 butterflies were fluttering past them every hour through the 2,200m-high Puerto de Bujaruelo mountain pass on the French-Spanish border. By mid-afternoon dragonflies were skimming through, outnumbering the butterflies by 10 to one. The spaces between were filled with thousands of tiny flies. That day became the first record of fly migration in Europe – the skies were packed with tiny travellers on remarkable long-distance journeys unknown to science. It would be decades before the concept of insect migrations was widely followed up. Today, we know that insects – many of which have wings smaller than a human fingernail – are among the planet’s most prolific migrants, with trillions travelling large distances every year, including over deserts, mountain ranges and even crossing oceans. Can butterflies cross the Atlantic? In 2013, Spanish entomologist Gerard Talavera was on a beach in French Guiana looking for butterflies. On the last day of his search, he spotted something remarkable. That single observation – of tired looking painted lady butterflies not thought to live in South America – launched a decade-long investigation to answer the question: can butterflies really cross the Atlantic Ocean? It was something that had never been proved and defied existing understandings about insects’ capabilities. Talavera assembled a team of biologists, geneticists and atmospheric scientists to reconstruct this seemingly impossible journey. BUTTERFLY SLIDES GO IN HERE (see Google Doc) / please don’t move or delete this The findings, published in Nature Communications in 2024, represent the first direct proof that any insect had crossed the Atlantic. Although the discovery was exceptional, “it’s likely it happens quite often”, says Talave...

A bagel embodied as a human, with unexpected little arms and a sweet face. A sandwich giving the peace sign. A leather jacket-wearing fish brandishing a spatula. A chess board on the march. A rugby ball making a dash for it. A smiling pizza, tongue dangling, clambering from a box. Perhaps you have seen such a character. Chiefly in the branding – and merch – of an independent pizza place or sandwich shop, in a natural wine bar or brew pub. Though its loose limbs now stretch far and wide; to podcasts, internet talk shows and even global fashion labels. It’s often accompanied by text in a graffiti-like bubble font, or one Karl Toomey, a Dublin-based designer, strategist and lecturer, identifies as the 1970s-tinged Hobo font, in washed-out orange, red, purple, green or blue. It might scream of businesses developed in the late 2010s or early 2020s, but it’s a graphic design/illustration style that largely dates from a 1920s and 30s animation technique known as rubber hose, so named from US cartoon characters with “exaggerated facial expressions” and “flailing rubber hose limbs without joints”. Add some 1950s Americana, a touch of the vintage ironic T-shirts found at Urban Outfitters in the early 00s (think, “South Korea’s got Seoul” or the name of a fictional children’s hospital alongside the slogan “We be illin’”) and 21st-century cartoon trends, a dash of graffiti and a nod to Charles Barsotti’s 1994 New Yorker drawing of a friendly looking cartoon piece of rigatoni pasta on the phone declaring, “Fusilli you crazy bastard! How are you?” Brewed together, you have what amounts to a prevailing visual style now helping to sell coffee in Cardiff and burgers in Manchester. While not exactly ground zero for the aesthetic, Yard Sale Pizza, launched in ever-trendy Hackney in 2014 and now moving stealthily through zones 2 and 3 of London, is certainly emblematic of it. It was a time when numerous upstarts in the food and drink world were using cartoon branding, be it the colourf...

Madeleine Thien and Robbie Arnott are among the writers shortlisted for this year’s £10,000 Climate fiction prize. Now in its second year, the prize celebrates novels that engage with the climate crisis through imaginative storytelling. This year’s shortlist spans a wide range of styles, from speculative fiction to reimagined myth. Thien’s The Book of Records follows a girl who escapes with her father from flooding in a near-future China, and arrives at a large migrant compound called the Sea. The book traces the human costs of the climate crisis and social injustice, weaving personal and historical journeys across generations in what Guardian reviewer Xan Brooks called a “rich and beautiful novel”. Robbie Arnott was shortlisted for Dusk, about twins who join the hunt for a puma in the Tasmanian wilderness, described in a Guardian review by James Bradley as a “starkly beautiful and deeply felt” novel. Also in contention for the award is The Tiger’s Share, the second novel by Indian author Keshava Guha, a state-of-the-nation tale of sibling rivalry set in heavily polluted Delhi. Susanna Kwan was shortlisted for Awake in the Floating City. This debut is about an artist and the 130-year-old woman she cares for, two of the last remaining people in a flooded San Francisco of the future. Other novels on the list address the intersection of climate change with competing global crises. Endling, by Maria Reva, considers environmental collapse alongside Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The novel was praised in the Guardian as “dexterous and formally inventive”, and was also longlisted for the Booker prize. Elsewhere, Helen Phillips’s sixth book, Hum, is set in a near future where robots called “hums” have taken over many jobs, the air is poisonous and the tap water is contaminated. It was described by Daisy Hildyard in the Guardian as “mesmerising and scary”. The judging panel for this year’s prize features Arifa Akbar, chief theatre critic at the Guardian, novelists Kit de Waal...

“What’s the earliest an uninjured goalkeeper has been substituted?” asks Sam Roberts. Unless you’ve been at a digital retreat in the Kerguelen Islands for the past eight days, you’ll know the context of this question. With Spurs 3-0 down at Atlético Madrid last week, their goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who was at fault for two of the goals, was substituted after only 17 minutes. It’s rare for a goalkeeper who isn’t injured – wounded pride doesn’t count – to be taken off in the first half of a game, never mind the first quarter. We had a similar question way back in 2006, when the answers included Jens Lehmann during Milan’s Scudetto-winning 1998-99 campaign. There have been more examples in the last 20 years so it’s well worth giving this question a fresh coat of paint. Especially as, last time round, we missed a peculiar story from the Southern League in February 1984. With Cambridge City 4-0 down at home to Ashford after 25 minutes, and their teenage goalkeeper Nigel Ashman presumably having a suboptimal day at the office, Cambridge manager Bill Leivers decided to put the midfielder Trevor Williams in goal. “I had to do something,” said Leivers. “I was worried they might get 20. I took the goalkeeper off for his own good as much as anything. He was definitely responsible for two of the goals but I would question the attitude of some of the players in front of him.” Leivers’ decision was so nearly a heartless work of staggering genius: Cambridge fought back and eventually lost the game 4-3. Ashman left the club a few days later – “I shall probably be down on the golf course on Saturday” – but later managed the club’s reserve side between 2015 and 2017. Swindon’s Wes Foderingham suffered a similar fate when his side were beaten 4-1 by Preston in September 2012. Unlike Kinsky, he wasn’t hooked straight after a goal. Swindon went 2-0 down inside 10 minutes, with Foderingham at fault for the opening goal. Then, in the 21st minute, their manager Paolo Di Canio replaced him...

Walking with giants Born in Croydon to parents who had emigrated from the Caribbean, Michael Carberry grew up in a cricket-obsessed household, dreaming of one day playing for England. Before he hit his teens he had been scouted by Surrey. He worked his way up through the ranks at the Oval and found himself sharing a dressing room with legends. My story was a little bit “right place, right time”. I wasn’t affiliated to a club but I went along to a summer camp run by a Surrey scout who we sadly lost last in 2024, Brian Ruby. He liked what he saw and invited me for trials. There was a lot of excitement from my dad. He had to rush out and get me whites and gear that fitted me. Then every Thursday night I used to run home from school and jump in the car, two hours from Croydon to Guildford. From then it was steady progression from under-11s right the way through to playing under-19s when I was 15 or 16. It was frustrating at Surrey. I came off the England under-19s and you’re watching some of your counterparts like Ian Bell going back to their counties and getting first-class experience, whereas I was going back to what felt like Manchester City. You’ve got all these greats of the game and getting first-team opportunities was slim to impossible. But it was character building because it taught me a lot of valuable lessons that helped me have a long and successful career. As a batsman, never being satisfied with mediocre scores, getting to 60 and slapping it to cover. You had to raise your standards. I was able to learn off some of England’s very best, guys like [Alec] Stewart and [Graham] Thorpe. It was a tough dressing room to break into but if you used the time wisely, there was a lot of good information to take in.

The head coach is not responsible for many of the problems at Anfield but he is the most obvious target for those seeking reasons for the team’s decline It was the coffee bar at the training ground, installed by the Fenway Sports Group’s chief executive, Michael Edwards, after he got the idea from visiting Roma. It was Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, added to the post-match playlist by Alisson and which could be heard booming out of the Liverpool dressing room after victories. It was the video analysis. It was the data. It was the pre-season fitness tests. It was the close collaboration between the football and sports science departments. It was everything that changed from the Jürgen Klopp era. It was everything that stayed the same from the Jürgen Klopp era. Victory brings a dazzling clarity. Particularly a victory as resounding as Liverpool’s unexpected 10-point romp to the Premier League title last season. It turns the cogs, powers the houses, confers a sunlit aura of genius on everyone involved. So with a certain uncharitable hindsight, it is instructive to go back to late April 2025 and read about how everyone thought Liverpool had done it. And why everyone – wrongly – thought they were going to do it again. Continue reading...
