Dell’s new Pro Max with GB10 lands as a rare consumer‑accessible machine explicitly built for data‑center class AI work — a compact, deskside appliance that promises to let researchers and developers run models previously reserved for racks and clouds, while shipping with DGX OS and a turnkey AI...
Nvidia and TSMC quietly marked a turning point in the U.S. semiconductor landscape this week when the first Blackwell wafer intended for Nvidia’s next-generation AI GPUs rolled out of TSMC’s Fab 21 near Phoenix — a milestone that signals both real industrial progress and an array of new...
Microsoft’s internal forecasts now paint a longer, rockier road for its cloud operations: the data‑center capacity squeeze that rattled markets in 2025 is likely to extend well into 2026, constraining new Azure subscriptions in key U.S. hubs and forcing tougher tradeoffs between rapid AI growth...
Microsoft Azure’s apparent unveiling of a “world’s first” NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 supercomputing cluster has lit up forums and social feeds — but a careful look at the timeline, vendor press releases and cloud-provider statements shows a more nuanced story: the GB300 NVL72 is real and transformative...
Nvidia’s stranglehold on AI hardware looks formidable on paper — but beneath the headline numbers lies a more complicated story of geopolitical friction, software lock‑in, and accelerating competitor investment that could test Jensen Huang’s ability to keep Team Green entirely unchallenged...
Microsoft’s October 14, 2025 deadline for Windows 10 support has become a high‑profile pivot for the PC industry — but the expected consumer‑led buying spree never materialized in the United States. Industry trackers show businesses driving the current refresh cycle while consumers largely sit...
