If you need a big, badass box that can support tens of terabytes of memory, dozens of PCI-Express peripheral slots, thousands of directly attached storage devices, all feeding into hundreds of cores that can span that memory footprint with lots of bandwidth, you do not have a lot of options. …
Perhaps the most interesting conversation that has happened so far in the White House in 2025, at least from the point of view of the IT sector, is when Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, put on his Sunday best suit and visited President Donald Trump to presumably talk about technology, AI, trade, and war on July 10. …

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has kept a steady drumbeat for much of the year as it looks to position itself as the go-to IT hardware and software vendor for the rapidly expanding AI market, which has grown from chatbots to AI agents in under three years. …
Sitting in an office at QuEra Computing’s Boston headquarters, Yuval Boger was talking about the recent advancements made in quantum computing that are driving the chorus around an accelerated the timeframe the launch of a usable and reliable system. …
It has been two and a half months since new chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan gave the keynote at Intel’s Vision 2025 event, and the company has been relatively quiet by its own standards over the past several decades as Tan gets the lay of the land and tries to plot out the course of the company to rebuild its foundry business and reorient and focus its chip design and sales business. …
Given two endpoints and a compound annual growth rate between those two points over a specific amount of time is not as useful as it seems. …
While the world continues to fixate on AI, there are still plenty of high performance computing workloads that need doing and a speedup to any one part can have a big impact, whether it be computational fluid dynamics, material analysis, or something else. …
To a certain extent, Nvidia and AMD are not really selling GPU compute capacity as much as they are reselling just enough HBM memory capacity and bandwidth to barely balance out the HBM memory they can get their hands on, thereby justifying the ever-embiggening amount of compute their GPU complexes get overstuffed with. …
