Juan Pedro TomásEvroc’s founder and CEO, Mattias Åström, told RCR Wireless News that the data center initiative aligns with the firm’s mission to drive European digital sovereignty In sum – what to know: Nuclear-powered pilot – Blykalla, evroc, and Studsvik will explore co-locating SMRs and AI infrastructure at Studsvik’s licensed nuclear site in Nyköping. Clean baseload energy – The plan leverages SMR technology to supply …
Michael Dell said his company’s server and networking business surged 58% last year and grew another 69% in the last quarter In sum – what to know: Explosive demand – “tremendous” need for compute power, says Dell, with AI-related server sales set to double in fiscal 2026. Overbuild scenario – “at some point there’ll be too many” data centers, he says also …
Susana SchwartzThe OpenAI-AMD partnership could massively expand OpenAI’s compute capacity for GPT-5 while positioning AMD’s chips as a strong alternative to Nvidia’s In sum – what to know: Turning point – The deal marks a turning point for AMD, which is jockeying for position as a viable alternative to Nvidia in the market for high-performance AI chips. Easing dependence – By …
Carrier noted that the region’s data center cooling market is projected to reach $7.3 billion by 2031 In sum – what to know: Integrated AI cooling – The QuantumLeap platform combines liquid and air cooling with predictive controls for more efficient, scalable data center operations. Liquid cooling in Asia – Carrier introduces its direct-to-chip cooling solution to meet rising thermal demands from AI and …
Christian de LooperBuying up old GPUs for AI might be the way to go for some smaller AI outfits Every time Nvidia drops a new flagship accelerator, the entire AI processing landscape reshapes practically overnight. Hyperscalers scramble for allocation and last generation’s hardware gets treated like it’s ancient history. But what doesn’t get anywhere near as much attention is the outgoing generation of accelerators — which …
New 102.4 tbps Silicon One promises efficiency gains for hyperscalers In sum – what we know: It’s easy to focus on the GPU arms race when talking about AI infrastructure, but the networking connecting all those accelerators is arguably almost as important. You can rack up as many GPUs as your budget allows — but if the data can’t shuttle between them …
How can quantization turn massive models into efficient tools without ruining their accuracy? Running large language models is expensive. The biggest ones pack hundreds of billions of parameters, each stored as a high-precision number that chews through memory, power, and premium hardware. But do we actually need all that precision? Increasingly, the answer is no. That realization has driven the …
Replacing copper with optical pipes could have a significant impact on the AI data bottleneck The semiconductor industry has been following the same steps for decades, revolving around shrinking the transistor and packing them more into a chip. It’s worked remarkably well. But there’s a problem emerging that transistor density simply can’t fix — getting data from point A to …
