As we have said many times here at The Next Platform, the only way to predict the actual future is to live it. Despite that, people have a need to forecast because our guesses, prognostications, and hunches are what we base our plans on, and those plans collectively matrix multiply …
Micron Technology has not just filled in a capacity shortfall for more high bandwidth stacked DRAM to feed GPU and XPU accelerators for AI and HPC. It has created DRAM that stacks higher and runs faster than the competition from SK Hynix and Samsung. And therefore Micron has also found …
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. To that end, HPE is …
Right or wrong, we still believe that we live in a world where traditional HPC simulation and modeling at high precision matters more than mashing up the sum total of human knowledge and mixing with the digital exhaust of our lives to create a globe-spanning automation that will leave us …
There is not one Ethernet business, but several, and now, with the evolution of Ethernet switches for back-end AI cluster networks, there is a new one that has the possibility to dominate revenues and profits. These Ethernet segments – campus, edge, datacenter front end, and datacenter back-end are the four …
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. “Sometimes it’s hard to see all the amazing progress that’s been …
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 …

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. Not when you are trying to figure out what is happening at all of the points in between. And that is necessarily so because …
Some heavy hitters like Intel, IBM, and Google along with a growing number of smaller startups for the past couple of decades have been pushing the development of neuromorphic computing, hardware that looks to mimic the structure and function of the human brain. It’s a subject that The Next Platform …
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. “Today we’re making great progress with HPC …
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 …
PCI-SIG, the organization that oversees the roadmap for the critical PCI-Express peripheral attachment specification, is continuing to keep to its three-year drumbeat for releasing the next iteration of the interconnect spec and already has its sights on the one after that, expected to be released in 2028 and appear in …
Much of the business that Cisco Systems and others have been doing in the AI infrastructure field since OpenAI lit the generative AI fuse with ChatGPT in November 2022 has been deploying hardware and software with the hyperscalers, a lucrative business that led company executives to promise to sell as …
The newest of the exascale-class supercomputer to be profiled in the Top500 rankings in the June list is the long-awaited “Jupiter” system at Forschungszentrum Jülich facility in Germany. We finally have a sense of how this hybrid CPU-GPU machine will perform, although some of the details on its configuration are …
The International Super Computing 2025 conference is going on this week in Hamburg, Germany and is celebrating its 40th anniversary. It is also the 65th compilation of the Top 500 supercomputer rankings, which was started way back in 1993, which certifies the peak theoretical performance and sustained performance of each …
After three relatively short years of explosive growth thanks to the GenAI boom, AI is driving half of systems revenues worldwide already. And so it stands to reason that the custom ASIC design business and the AI-related networking businesses will eventually come to dominate the semiconductor businesses of Broadcom. In …
