AI workloads are overwhelming traditional hard drives, forcing a storage rethink. Solid-state drives offer better performance and long-term cost savings despite higher upfront costs. The shift could free up power and space for more GPUs.
Data centers are facing unprecedented power demands as AI racks approach 1MW. Schneider Electric’s 800VDC solution addresses the physics limitations of current power distribution systems. This marks a return to DC power after more than a century of AC dominance.
Finish Thompson has introduced its SX Series explosion-proof electric motor specifically designed for hazardous fuel-handling environments. The two-speed motor can empty a 55-gallon drum in just over three minutes while providing precise filling capabilities for smaller containers. Key safety featur
Qualcomm is bringing its custom Oryon CPU technology to industrial PCs with the new Dragonwing IQ-X Series. These rugged chips can withstand extreme temperatures from -40°F to 221°F and feature integrated AI acceleration. The move represents Qualcomm’s ongoing diversification beyond mobile chipsets.
Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake processors will include AVX10.1 and AVX10.2 vector extensions alongside Advanced Performance Extensions. This marks a significant unification of Intel’s vector instruction architecture, with support confirmed for both desktop and mobile variants launching next year.
Two defense tech companies are joining forces to create portable power solutions for battlefield and disaster scenarios. The partnership combines flexible solar panels with mobile hydrogen generation systems. The goal is to provide reliable power for military operations where traditional infrastruct
Valve is taking another shot at living room gaming with a completely redesigned Steam Machine and controller. The compact PC runs SteamOS and promises dramatically better performance than the Steam Deck. Pre-orders are expected in early 2026.
Valve has officially revealed its Steam console hardware lineup including Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame VR headset. All three products are scheduled for release in 2026, with the Steam Machine boasting six times the power of Steam Deck in a surprisingly compact design.
Data centers are facing unprecedented power demands, with racks expected to reach megawatt levels soon. VEIR’s superconducting cables can carry 3 megawatts in 20 times less space than copper. The technology will be piloted in data centers next year ahead of a 2027 commercial launch.
A new white paper from Iontra outlines the crucial developments reshaping lithium-ion battery charging technology. The report provides actionable insights for OEMs and product managers across multiple industries facing electrification challenges.
