The number of AI inference chip startups in the world is gross – literally gross, as in a dozen dozens. But there is only one ...

If there was ever a demonstration of Jevons' paradox, it's the supercomputing sector. According to this law of economics, ...

Rambus recently announced the availability of its new High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Gen2 PHY. Designed for systems that require low latency and high bandwidth memory, the Rambus HBM PHY, built on the ...

A total addressable market is a forecast of what will be sold – more precisely, what can be manufactured and sold. It is not ...

We like datacenter compute engines here at The Next Platform, but as the name implies, what we really like are platforms – how compute, storage, networking, and systems software are brought together ...

Normally, when we look at a system, we think from the compute engines at a very fine detail and then work our way out across the intricacies of the nodes and then the interconnect and software stack ...

Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit, Intel, the dominant maker of processors for servers on the planet, was rejiggering its product roadmaps behind the scenes in conjunction with its largest OEM ...

Wouldn’t it be funny if Google ends up being the stalwart supporter of the X86 architecture among the hyperscalers and cloud builders? Amazon Web Services has been pushing its Graviton line for the ...

No question about it. Intel had to get a lot of moving pieces all meshing well to deliver the “Ice Lake” Xeon SP server processors, which came out earlier this month and which have actually been ...

One of the oldest adages in the systems business is that customers don’t buy processors, but rather they buy roadmaps. The trick with being a server compute engine supplier – whether you are talking ...

There are two Amperes in datacenter compute right now, and they are both gunning for Xeons. One is the “Ampere” A100 GPU accelerator from Nvidia, and the other is Ampere Computer, a provider of ...
