Added that to summary, nice catch I somehow missed that when reading the original article.

Summary
 
 A University of Michigan team has created and tested a purportedly unhackable chip.
 
Put to the test in a DARPA sponsored bug bounty, against 500+ hackers for 3 months, it remained secure.

This is fairly topical given all the news about Nvidia's 'unhackable' mining limiters. Although this might have more truth to it, 500+ hackers trying for 3 months doesn't definitively mean 'unhackable' but it's impressive all the same.
And it makes me wonder if big tech companies will adopt 'unhackable' as a marketing buzz word now.
 
It also reminds me of those stereotypical scenes in movies where a hacker type says "The [program/AI/Computer/etc] is rewriting itself!". With the caveat that 'Morpheus' doesn't rewrite itself so much as rescramble its data.
 
Finally, 'Morpheus' I suspect may end up like graphene. A really cool discovery/invention many potential applications, but no practical method of mass production/deployment.

This is very true, look at all of Intel's vulnerabilities. They only came to light after a few years, once people had enough time to find a vulnerability. I'd like to see if this chip is still unhackable in a decade.

More like give it time and/or the right person/people. 

This is some awesome tech that I do not fully understand! 😉 Looks like the bug bounty was from DARPA for this chip.

It looks like it uses the same bracket for the GPU as my RVZ03. I was able to use normal cables by running them through the bracket. I know the FTZ01 is slightly smaller, but it looks like the GPU bracket has about the same amount of clearance with the case on that side.
 

Those 180 degree adapters caught a forum member's PC on fire, destroying it.

Pretty much Ebay is your best bet.

Big Navi KLAXON!
These were leaked on 3dCenter's forum by a leaker, Berniyh:https://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=12124009#post12124009

Navi 22??? That's a new one, we've not seen that before I don't think.

And Navi 21...Also Navi 12.

This ties in with the RRA certification for a big Navi part spotted a few days ago. These are probably still a few months away though. And they are probably RDNA 2.0. At least we're getting something now, Big Navi is starting to pop up every now and then.

Soon the naming scheme will be back at my first graphics card, a 6970 ?

Yay! Thread revivals x_x
 
All I got is is the somewhat-official update to this thread I started 20 days after this one:
 
 

Watching that card turn into a supernova under full load would be a sight to behold awful majestic...

Just remembered I had this discount code and I'll never use it so why not give it away!?

It's for 20% off one item purchased directly from the Logitech store.
 
First person to message me I'll send the code over 
 
 
 
 
(Apologies if this is in the wrong forum!)

40% more powerful than any other RISC-V chip is an impressive gain, it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the industry reacts to this.
However, I doubt the chip will make it out of China as from the article it sounds like the chip is intended solely for the Chinese market.
 
 
From the rest of the article it sounds like there's been some serious effort put into the design regarding instruction pipelines and bundling of instruction sets. Not to mention the fact that they're confident enough to release the relevant code as open-source on GitHub.
 
Personally, I'm not going to comment on the availability of U.S. technology in China.
Aside from that I'm pretty excited about the future of RISC-V chips, if enough companies get behind it then this could be the norm for SoCs. Although I doubt RISC-V will ever push Intel/AMD etc out of the high-end or mainstream consumer market.

Since Nvidia torpedoed the RX5700(XT) launch with the RTX Super series cards its good to hear officially that AMD has products that will compete with Nvidia in the high-end market segment.
AMD just held their Q2 earnings call with investors and the like where Lisa Su stated the following.
 
 
This echoes "leaks" from Sapphire when they registered that massive list of "possible product names" with the Eurasian Economic Commission last month. Although bear in mind that the contents of the list were "possible product names" so I doubt Sapphire will release that many SKUs, and the same goes for AMD producing this many different chips.
 
 
I'm glad that AMD have more to come from Navi unlike the Vega cards where the 56 and 64 cards were all we got for a while until the VII came along with the 7nm node shrink.
Hopefully the higher end Navi cards will give the RTX Super lineup a run for its money, as its possible that these Navi cards were designed to beat/match the regular RXT cards.

Great, that's totally confusion free with RX590XT and a RX590XT and all that crap in between. 
 
Why is it so hard in 2019 to get a naming schemes right? 

OMG
 
And the next lineup:
 
RX 5951, RX 5952, RX 5953, RX 5954, RX 5955...
