Exploring the breakthrough innovations shaping our world. From AI infrastructure and robotics to biotech, quantum computing, and spatial tech.
For more than a decade, FinFET technology has been one of the foundations of advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Its three-dimensional fin structure gave the gate much better control of the transist...
For years, data center expansion was discussed mainly in terms of electricity. Developers looked for sites with access to large amounts of reliable power, while analysts tracked the industry's growth...
For much of the modern computing era, semiconductor manufacturing depended on a remarkably specialized international supply chain. Chip designs could originate in the United States or elsewhere, wafer...
Cloud AI gets most of the attention because its infrastructure is hard to miss: huge server clusters, specialized accelerators, and data centers built around enormous computing loads. At the same time...
For years, data center power planning followed a relatively predictable model. A conventional enterprise facility might consume a few megawatts, with server racks drawing only a fraction of that load....
As AI training systems grow from thousands of accelerators to tens of thousands and, in some cases, 100,000 or more, the networking problem changes substantially. Adding more GPUs or TPUs does not aut...
When engineers evaluate an AI accelerator, two numbers often attract the most attention: compute performance and memory bandwidth. Compute performance describes how many mathematical operations a proc...
