Intel’s rumored Razor Lake mobile processors may introduce bLLC, enabling substantially larger cache pools for laptops. An early manufacturing claim has also reportedly shifted from TSMC N2X to the less clearly defined N2P V2 process.
Cerebras launched the CS-4, its first system to combine three wafer-scale processors in a single rack. The inference-focused machine is shipping this quarter, with Cerebras claiming up to 30 times the speed of GPU-based systems for frontier models.
Waymo has disclosed key details about the high-performance computers installed in the trunks of its robotaxis. The company shared processor specifications, chip architecture, internal components, and hardware suppliers for the first time.
Chinese AI companies are optimising software to handle growing inference demand while access to high-end Nvidia processors remains limited. Domestic chips can support some inference workloads, but complex coding tasks still depend partly on scarce Nvidia capacity.
After Databricks raised $5 billion at a $190 billion valuation, Bloomberg began referring to OceanBase as “China's Databricks.” Although Databricks originated from the data-lake side and OceanBase from databases, both are moving toward AI data platforms as OceanBase prepares for a roughly 2–3 billion yuan Series A.
Nvidia H200 accelerators have begun reaching Chinese technology companies after months of limited export-licence activity. ByteDance and Tencent reportedly received about 10,000 processors each, while other Chinese companies may soon obtain similar quantities, though mainland availability remains uncertain.
Linux Kernel 7.3 is set to introduce major scheduler changes aimed at improving efficiency and reducing system latency. The update also adds formal support for asymmetric CPUs, including Intel processors that combine performance cores and efficiency cores, potentially improving gaming performance on low-power PCs.
