I joined because I like how active it is, with its many different forums

What first brought me here was Autopatcher, back when it was in full swing (I mean full)

I've come back because, I had a good look around and it was a cross between Bleeping Computer and here

I asked a Mod there for a little help, and I'm still waiting for the reply.

Whereas here the Mods are very (I mean very) quick and helpful all the time.

Basically it was the Mods here that was the icing on the top. I'll see how things go for a while.

Oh and I like "Activity" window, that helps too.

I suppose the only thing I don't like is the huge banners, I think its the members signatures, all over the place.

I find that a real put off, but I suppose its in grained now, so no use arguing about all those ads !

Anyway, thanks for having me so far. And to the active Mods: your good work is noticed :)

I found it like yesterday, and I don't remember how I did it... Strange. But I think it was through a Google search, I was searching for something - Windows related I suppose. Great site, can't say the same thing about the members though :p

...nah, just kidding. I love you all!

Friend told me about it one day, and I was also getting sick of hearing him talk about "Just reading forums" and I got to the point were I thought... "link me to this forum you go on so much", and it was Neowin.

Was interesting so I registerd.

*Note: NiceCarpet-ng. Got me into it :D

A google search brought me to an article listed on the BPN, and I noticed that I pretty much liked all of the news listed there. I checked it casually for about a year or so in the Lo-Fi version (that's what google brought me to), not realizing that it was actually a huge site and forum!

After clicking the full-site button, it changed my homepage and news source forever :p

Searching for information during the Neptune and then Whistler betas brought me to this site. I can still remember what the front page looked like. Thinking about it makes me miss college and the simple life... but only for a moment.

lol this is funny... a post had been laid to rest over a year ago and now new member bring this post back from the grave yard.

ArtScott, welcome to neowin. I see so many of the "1 post" wanderers here and there. So amazing the most people that contribute to this thread has only a couple post and they went silent for ever.

bahhh :-)

I found it on macrumors. Yeah, that's a bit weird.

not so weird, imo. the sites parallel each other - macs on mr, win on neowin.

    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
