Nvidia is about to be a hundred-billion-dollar-a-quarter company
Nvidia's predicting it will pull in $108 billion in revenue within just a few months. It wouldn't be the first company to rake in over $100 billion in quarterly revenue - Amazon, Apple, and Alphabet have repeatedly reached the milestone. Nvidia said in its latest earnings report that it brought in a record $96.2 billion in overall revenue in the past quarter, a jump of over $10 billion from the previous quarter. Its data center revenue alone more than doubled year-over-year to
A chip company reported over $96 billion in revenue for the past quarter and is predicting it will reach $108 billion in revenue within a few months. Most of this revenue comes from its data center business, which more than doubled year-over-year to a record $89 billion. If the company reaches its projection, it would join a small group of companies that have repeatedly exceeded $100 billion in quarterly revenue, though it would not be the first to achieve this milestone.

Google Unveils TPU 8i Max and TPU 8tx: A Dual-Chip TPU and a Confidential TPU
Google has added two new systems to its eighth-generation TPU lineup. TPU 8i Max targets massive context windows and rack density. TPU 8tx targets secure, confidential inference. Google TPU 8i Max is a dual-chip package built from 2 TPU 8i chips. Both arrive alongside TPU 8t and TPU 8i, announced in April. TL;DR Size: TPU 8i Max = 2 TPU 8i chips in 1 package. TPU 8tx = TPU 8t silicon plus 5th Gen AMD EPYC hosts. Runs on: Google Cloud TPU systems. Performance: 8i Max doubles TPU 8

IBM Announces IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3: A New Processor to Support 10k Quantum Operations on 520 Programmable Qubits
IBM has announced IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3, its next superconducting quantum processor. It is designed to run 10,000 quantum operations accurately across 520 programmable qubits. In 2027, IBM plans to link 2 r3 chips into a single 1,040-qubit system. For developers, the announcement is speed. The current Nighthawk r2 already runs workloads up to 19x faster than IBM’s earlier processors. TL;DR Size: Nighthawk r3: 520 programmable qubits, 2,034 physical qubits, 10 l-couplers. Nightha
Why the data center you dread might never even be built
The data center boom is running into serious real-world obstacles, from widespread local opposition and permitting delays to a scramble for electricity. Before those challenges even come into play, though, there’s a more basic problem: A lot of the projects being announced may never get built in the first place. With billions of dollars in AI infrastructure […]
