Dell and AMD build AI infrastructure together
SiliconANGLE: Rack-scale AI: How Dell and AMD are building infrastructure
Dell Technologies Inc. and its partner Advanced Micro Devices Inc. face similar competitive pressures. Both tech powerhouses operate in a business climate where success is now measured across central processing units, graphics processing units, rack-scale systems, memory capacity, network bandwidth and tokens per dollar. The pressure to compete across those measures underscores what theCUBE Research […] The post Rack-scale AI: How Dell and AMD are building infrastructure appeared first on

Two major technology companies are collaborating to build AI infrastructure that handles multiple types of computing demands simultaneously. Success in AI infrastructure now depends on performance across central processing units, graphics processing units, rack-scale systems, memory capacity, network bandwidth, and tokens per dollar, creating pressure for companies to innovate rapidly across all these areas. The companies are pursuing consolidation strategies that allow data centers to replace multiple older servers with fewer, more powerful ones, while also designing modular platforms that let customers start with smaller deployments and expand them over time. Their partnership extends to supporting air-cooled GPU deployments and collaborations with research institutions and telecom operators to advance AI infrastructure capabilities.

OpenAI pitches data center power plants as a way to protect nearby areas
In an announcement on Monday, OpenAI says it will pilot its "Grid Protectors Program" at an upcoming data center in Effingham County, Georgia, where the company promises to free up to 1,000 megawatts of power during extreme weather or emergencies, enough to power air conditioners in around 700,000 homes. The announcement comes as opposition to data centers spreads across the US, in response to massive projects that have begun development and construction, frequently with little

The Datacenter Backlash Goes Bipartisan: Next Week's Midterms and the 2028 Buildout
The 2027 datacenter boom is already being built and next week’s midterms won’t stop it now. Roughly three-quarters of the 33.8 GW due across our top 20 states is already under construction, which is why we remain comfortable with the global +50 GW year we laid out in our Oct. 16 article. The campuses are taking shape. The election will change the rules around them, but much of the 2027 pipeline already has a substantial head start.The fight is over 2028. Our model has 62.2 GW of US n
