The buckets of AI and where Nvidia is crushing it
AI as Magic (AGI), AI as a Feature, and AI as a Product
Dell showcases hybrid AI approach, merging cloud and on-premises solutions
Forward-looking: Getting companies interested in deploying generative AI applications is no longer a challenge for tech suppliers. Figuring out how to best use the technology, however, is still difficult for many of these business customers. One new technique that Dell discussed at its Dell Tech World event in Las Vegas is the concept of hybrid AI, where some of the work happens in the cloud, but some is done on premises within an organization's data centers.
Why is Apple making a data center chip?
"ACDC" (Apple Chips in Data Center) would be the clear winner in 2024's chip naming competition
Editor's take: Of course, Apple is designing its own AI chips for its data centers. This will give them an end-to-end, cloud-to-edge AI system that its competitors will not be able to match anytime soon.
GenAI improvements bring back the promise of truly useful digital assistants
Call it Siri's revenge, but any AI assistant that Apple announces next will have an outsized influence in the mainstream market

How will AI reshape the data center?
Why it matters: The rise of AI compute is poised to reshape the economics of the data center. That may be as simple as Nvidia displacing Intel, but it could also lead to much wider, systematic change.
Not just the hardware: How deep is Nvidia's software moat?
The inherent inertia of software ecosystems
The big picture: Starting tomorrow, Nvidia is hosting its GTC developer conference. Once a sideshow for semis, the event has transformed into the center of attention for much of the industry. With Nvidia's rise, many have been asking the extent to which Nvidia's software provides a durable competitive moat for its hardware. As we have been getting a lot of questions about that, we want to lay out our thoughts here.
Software-defined vehicles get a push from Arm and Cadence
Arm is creating a "digital twin" of its automotive chip architectures for software development purposes
Intel is relaunching the Core i9-14900K... wait, it's the 6.2GHz Core i9-14900KS
It's a slightly faster version of the same CPU. Costs a lot more, though

Wrestling with AI and the AIpocalypse we should be worried about
Some would argue that AI is a fad, the next bubble waiting to burst
Editor's take: Like almost everyone in tech today, we have spent the past year trying to wrap our heads around "AI". What it is, how it works, and what it means for the industry. We are not sure that we have any good answers, but a few things have been clear. Maybe AGI (artificial general intelligence) will emerge, or we'll see some other major AI breakthrough, but focusing too much on those risks could be overlooking the very real – but also very mundane – improvements that transformer networks are already delivering.
