Chip Innovation Will Bridge The Gap For USA Data Center Power
By Geoff Tate - 08 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

Heading to meetings in Silicon Valley, I often drive through Santa Clara, passing boxy buildings with few windows. They are data centers for local customers willing to pay for low latency. Data centers cluster in Santa Clara because that city's power has been the cheapest in Silicon Valley. The San Jose Mercury News recently reported that two data centers in Santa Clara are empty, waiting for a... » read more

AI Bubble Or Boom?
By Geoff Tate - 20 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 1

Are we in an AI bubble? Parallels are being drawn to the dot.com boom/bust of 1999-2000. In the dot.com bust, many high-tech companies valuations soared up 10X, then deflated. The peak P/E ratio for the Nasdaq Composite was 200! Remember Webvan? It went public November 1999 with an $8 billion valuation, then filed for bankruptcy 19 months later. It was much speculation without profits or gro... » read more

Cities Strive For More Smarts, Security
By SE Staff - 04 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

As cities around the world move beyond their first completed smart city projects and add more systems, they face hurdles in expanding but have more standards, technical resources, and real-world examples to draw on when making project design decisions. The main concern is keeping the smart city systems and their data and functions safe, especially if the system is touching critical infrastructu... » read more

What Will Be The Killer App For 5G? Time To Place Your Bets
By Panch Chandrasekaran - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

5G is here. But where will its capabilities soar first? Here are my guesses for where the breakthroughs could occur along with factors that might hold it back. 1. Supply Chain. The world’s 5,300+ plus cargo ships carry 90% of the world’s freight and can collectively hold 1.97 billion deadweight tons of cargo. 5G—delivered through private networks or secure slices of public networks—c... » read more

Where Do The Chips Fall In The Energy Transformation?
By Chris Shore - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The energy industry is in the first stages of a once-in-a-century transformation. And one of the most important aspects of this shift is that EVs, solar farms grid equipment, and appliances will inherently rely more on digital technologies. As Hamed Heyhat, General Manager of Grid Automation at General Electric, says, “Decarbonization cannot happen without digitization of the grid.” So h... » read more

Problems In The Power Grid
By Ed Sperling - 22 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 1

The gap is widening between power availability and peak demand. Ritesh Tyagi, head of innovation and growth strategy at Infineon Technologies, talks about what needs to be done to fix the power grid, particularly as more cars are electrified and more electronic devices are mobile. While there currently is a surplus in power being generated on a macro level in the United States, for example, it�... » read more

The Battery Problem
By Ed Sperling - 14 Sep, 2020 - Comments: 2

The fires sweeping the West Coast of the United States point to the need for a whole different way of managing power on both a macro and a micro level. Since the millennium, the power demand from data centers and from mobile devices has been climbing steadily. There are roughly 7.8 billion people on the planet, up from 6.115 billion people in 2000, according to the World Bank. Many of them o... » read more
