PCIe Benefits From AI, Despite Scaling Protocols
By Bryon Moyer - 10 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key takeaways: PCIe remains a critical technology for non-AI processing. For AI, PCIe will be strengthened by scale-out, agentic AI, and even some scale-up. CXL is seeing uptake, and some even think it could participate in AI processing. PCIe has been the go-to network for most data traffic moving from a processor to devices located elsewhere, which is also what the new data... » read more

Complex Mix Of Processors At The Edge
By Liz Allan - 18 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 1

With AI changing so fast, it’s a juggle for companies to ensure they can deliver the best performance now while also future-proofing for unknown AI models or a completely different approach to training and inference that may emerge. There are a slew of options for high-end and budget phones, hyperscalers, and low-cost, low-power edge devices, and while GPUs keep making headlines, many designe... » read more

Crisis Ahead: Power Consumption In AI Data Centers
By Ed Sperling - 21 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 2

AI data centers are consuming energy at roughly four times the rate that more electricity is being added to grids, setting the stage for fundamental shifts in where power is generated, where AI data centers are built, and much more efficient system, chip, and software architectures. The numbers are particularly striking for the United States and China, which are in a race to ramp up AI data ... » read more
