It moves fast enough to appear as a streak or path. Furthermore ".Big AI Performance Boost" suggests there were specific performance claims made, as well. However, 'meteor path' appears often enough to imply that meteor indicates the large glowing plasma around the rock (caused by ram pressure), and as you say, not the path. It is primarily this ram pressure (rather than friction) that heats the air that in turn heats the meteoroid as it flows around it. This can be easily understood: there is a lot of air blocking the meteors passage. Ram pressure and atmospheric (re)entry edit A meteoroid traveling supersonically through Earth's atmosphere produces a shock wave generated by the extremely rapid compression of air in front of the meteoroid. Larger meteors often fragment, splitting into multiple pieces, sometimes repeating the process. It says "Intel Confirms." leading me to believe they'd made some official comment about it. For meteors larger than perhaps 10 centimeters, the visible glow is mostly due to atmospheric ram pressure, as a shock wave is generated by the meteoroids passage. Since the majority of meteors are from small sand-grain size meteoroid bodies. Movidius' big advantage in perf/W came from careful utilization of on-die SRAM - something that's going to face continual cost pressure, when shipped as part of every CPU Intel sells.īTW, I'm disappointed with the article's title. ram pressure (not friction, as is commonly assumed) of atmospheric entry.

I expect they have more similarities than differences with the programmable cores in Intel's iGPUs. The action of cocking the gun is smoother. There are considerable benefits to the shooter of switching to a gas ram powered air rifle. It would be interesting to know if it is related to Movidius, because at least the first couple generations used programmable VLIW cores. To create our new GRT Lightning SE, we have taken our successful Lightning model, added the SE improvements and finally exchanged the traditional steel main spring for Gas Ram Technology. And they have a reputation for duplication of effort, like how they created their failed Larrabee dGPU attempt completely independent of the chipset graphics group. Intel also bought Nervana, Mobileye, and Habana Labs. Without a doubt, this new chip is built at least partially by the employees behind Movidius.I wouldn't say "without a doubt".
