Sometimes someone comes around the corner and throws the proverbial anvil into a house of cards. Pat Gelsinger, ex-CEO of Intel, has done just that with the statement that quantum computing will end the era of GPUs in a few years. While Nvidia is mining the silicon gold with its H100 and B200 cards, Gelsinger can already see the wrecking ball [...]
The AI carousel is spinning faster again and this time the impetus is not coming from Google or OpenAI, but from one of their previously underestimated opponents: Anthropic. On November 24, 2025, the San Francisco-based company officially unveiled its latest language model “Claude Opus 4.5”. And what at first glance might appear to be [...]
We have already tested some network storage devices aimed at regular end customers, and the market is currently being flooded with new providers and models. But what about the “traditional” providers of such devices, who can also afford to offer special devices for special purposes and do not have to address the largest overlapping [...]
New information about the upcoming AMD CPU series Ryzen AI 400, codenamed Gorgon Point, is leaking out just in time for the new year. With today’s unveiling of two further models, Ryzen AI 9 465 and Ryzen AI 7 450, the specifications of the planned Zen 5-based APUs are becoming even clearer. The chips have appeared in CrossMark benchmarks, a [...]
It may come as a surprise at first glance, but NVIDIA’s toughest competitor in the AI market is currently not AMD or Intel, but Google. While the latter is often perceived by the public as a cloud service provider or software company, it has been consistently developing its own chip strategy for years and with growing success. With the [...]
NVIDIA seems to have no time to lose: The next GPU generation, codenamed “Ruby”, has already been threaded into TSMC’s production lines, according to recent reports. At the same time, the company has secured early deliveries of HBM4 memory chips – from all relevant DRAM manufacturers. This parallel dual strategy not only [...]
While power grids on Earth are groaning, land prices are exploding and cooling data centers is becoming an environmental issue, Elon Musk is once again looking to take flight – this time vertically. The visionary entrepreneur recently announced that SpaceX is working on moving data processing capacity into space. The third generation of [...]
Nvidia has placed the next stone on the semiconductor industry’s go-board – and it’s a damn heavy one: the “Vera Rubin Superchip” was shown to the public for the first time at the GTC in Washington D.C.. It is less of a classic product and more of a technological manifesto. The prototype on show – a so-called [...]
The Intel Arc Pro B60 from Sparkle is in an exciting price range below 1,000 euros, in which several professional graphics cards are currently vying for the favor of demanding users. Its direct competitors include models such as the older NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada and RTX 2000 Ada or AMD’s Radeon Pro W7600 and W7700, which all cover similar price [...]
It is a drastic cut that is rarely admitted so openly in this form: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang speaks in no uncertain terms about the fact that his company has not only lost relevance in the Chinese market, but has been completely eliminated. What was once considered a golden growth pit for the Californian chip manufacturer is now just a diplomatic [...]
It is more than just a symbolic act, it is a powerful industrial policy statement: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the first Blackwell chip wafer this week, produced not in Taiwan but in the heart of Arizona. Made possible by TSMC, financed and orchestrated by Washington’s reindustrialization campaign, which once gained momentum under [...]
Intel seems to have hit a strategic nerve with its 18A process. Although, according to official statements, the node is primarily intended for in-house use, for platforms such as Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest, there are increasing indications of growing interest from major external customers. According to SemiAccurate, Microsoft is said to be [...]
It’s a lesson in technological progress meets cultural ownership: OpenAI’s latest AI “Sora 2” is not only technically impressive, but is also currently causing a political stir in Japan, and not just too little. The Japanese government has officially issued a warning to OpenAI. The reason: the tool can create such realistic [...]
It’s a deal that was quietly announced but has a lot going for it. OpenAI, the inventor of ChatGPT and the current king of generative AI, has teamed up with the two South Korean memory giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. At the center is a project called “Stargate”, a name that sounds like science fiction but is actually a [...]
Hello dear community, it’s Bernhard here again! Not the one with the jackhammer, but the one with the soldering iron. Igor really knows how to inspire with great projects and ideas and so I was recruited once again to turn a small project into reality for him. What is it going to be about? Igor wants to measure the real (human-perceived) [...]
With the PowerEdge XE7740, Dell has introduced a server that can be equipped with up to eight Intel Gaudi 3 PCIe accelerators, thus sending a signal: They no longer want to stand by and watch NVIDIA occupy the AI infrastructure market virtually single-handedly. With the XE7740, Dell is the first provider to venture into the market with a fully [...]
At the Huawei Full Connect Conference 2025 in Shanghai, Yang Chaobin, member of the Huawei Executive Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, announced a far-reaching architectural realignment of the Group’s data center strategy: With the introduction of a so-called “supernode architecture” (超节点架构), Huawei aims to redefine [...]
For a long time, it was just a marketing buzzword that was slapped onto every half-warm notebook campaign: “AI PC”. But now we seem to be at the point where marketing is becoming reality – at least if you believe the latest figures from Gartner. And unlike many other analysts, Gartner has so far mostly followed the development of [...]
While the West continues to juggle price explosions in the GPU segment and hot AI air, China is drawing a card in the background that is potentially more far-reaching than any new GPU line-up: Zhaoxin, the joint venture between VIA Technologies and the Shanghai government, has unveiled two new processors, the KH-50000 and the KX-7000N, which are [...]
The Arc Pro B50, officially launched today, positions itself directly against AMD’s Radeon Pro W7500 and NVIDIA’s RTX A1000 in the entry-level segment of professional workstations. The focus is on compact systems with ISV certifications, low power consumption and predictable behavior. A key differentiating feature is the memory [...]
