Intel is reversing course on one of its most significant recent processor design decisions, bringing back Hyper-Threading to future versions of the Xeon processor. Hyper-Threading is a technology that allows a processor core to execute two threads at once, sort of. While a Hyper-Threaded core appears as two logical processors to the system, they don’t […]

Cloud inference provider DeepInfra claims NVIDIA’s upcoming Vera CPU significantly outperformed competing processors from AMD and Intel in production-scale AI performance testing. Rather than using generic benchmarks, which don’t often reflect real-world usage, DeepInfra used its own production AI infrastructure for testing. It showed the Arm-based Vera CPU delivered up to 2.2 times faster agent […]

AMD is taking the fight to NVIDIA Corp. to loosen its ironclad grip on the multibillion-dollar artificial intelligence (AI) hardware market. Culminating a decade-long corporate comeback, AMD said Monday that Microsoft Corp. will deploy its highly anticipated Helios rack-scale AI system. Microsoft will integrate Helios into its Azure cloud platform to power frontier model inference, […]
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. delivered almost everything an AI infrastructure bull could have wanted from its second-quarter earnings report. Revenue reached $40.2 billion, an increase of 33.7% from a year earlier. TSMC recorded another quarter of record profit. Gross margin reached 67.7%, operating margin came in at 60.3%, and management raised its expectations for full-year […]
Just days after Samsung’s record-breaking second-quarter earnings, history repeated itself when Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reported record second-quarter earnings on the chipmaker’s central role in the global artificial intelligence (AI) boom. The world’s largest contract chip manufacturer posted second-quarter revenue of NT$1.27 trillion (US$40.2 billion), a 36% increase from Q2 of 2025. Net income […]

Watch On-Demand →RISC-V is commonly seen as an ISA for embedded products; for smaller devices that require low power consumption but aren’t very complex and can tolerate lower performance. SiFive, a leading RISC-V IP vendor, is proving that incorrect with its Performance family of products. They recently launched the latest product in the series, the P550, that supports the RVA23 profile: a crucial enabler for SW developers and the industry as a whole. In this webinar, we discuss how SiFive has been able to deli
Watch On-Demand →There has never been a megatrend as transformative as AI. 2023 unlocked new possibilities, 2024 brought new proof of concepts and 2025 was the year to prove the ROI and business value generation of AI. 2026 is the year of the AI reality check and organizations that successfully operationalize AI to drive concrete efficiency and measurable impact will be the ultimate winners.
Watch On-Demand →As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are discovering that the real challenge is no longer building models—it’s running them reliably at scale. This webinar explores the growing “production AI gap,” where promising prototypes fail to translate into consistent, real-world outcomes. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of why inference—not training—is becoming the defining layer of AI, and what it takes to operationalize AI systems in environments shaped by unpredictable demand, latency
