The deal would give AMD in-house FPGA technology and boost its prowess in data center and mobile compute where it competes against rival Intel.

The vendor’s early bet on Intel chips for its initial series of 5G equipment carried high costs that continue to impact its profit margin and contribute to nagging challenges

Nvidia eyed data center dominance | VMware hunted zombies and summoned a sustainability second wave; and Supermicro mounted a 5G strategy.

Nvidia's data processing units are based on Mellanox BlueField 2 smartNICs announced in February.

Intel committed to the preservation of U.S. semiconductor leadership, but the chipmaker stopped short of announcing new U.S. facilities.

Intel claims to be the leading network silicon provider and has its sights set on becoming the largest provider of base station silicon by 2021.

VMware's CEO shared the company's top M&A targets; Arista bridged IoT and edge; and Forcepoint promised to extra SASE security.

AMD SEV-ES provides hardware layer encryption of memory and CPU registers.

VMware bolsters SASE security with SaltStack buy; AT&T disaggregated routing; and Juniper jumped on Netrounds.

The partnership will see the companies tie Nvidia's GPU Cloud hub into VMware's vSphere, Cloud Foundation, and Tanzu platforms and leverage Nvidia SmartNICs.

The roadmap will see public cloud provider deploy Intel, AMD, and Arm-based CPUs, as well as Nvidia's A100 GPUs across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Arm's Neoverse V1 seeks to provide the highest performance per thread while the updated N2 aims for the greatest scalability per watt.

Dimitris Mavrakis, senior research director at ABI Research, called the product a “major breakthrough and significant milestone in the evolution of open RAN.”

Nvidia's $40 billion Arm acquisition will allow the company to expand into new markets through Arm's expansive licensing program.

Nvidia took Arm off Softbanks' hands in $40 billion deal; Oracle shared it's KISS cloud strategy; and Dish tapped Nokia for 5G SA core.

Arm will remain in Cambridge, England, and retain its open licensing model and customer neutrality. Meanwhile, Nvidia will license some of its GPU technology through Arm.

The new routing chip is built on a 7-nanometer manufacturing process and is aimed at high-line rate use cases including data center interconnect, edge routing, and disaggregated routing.

With the onset of the pandemic, Nvidia saw the opportunity to enable enterprises to run graphics-intensive workloads in the cloud.

Cisco smashed SD-WAN, Kubernetes into CN-WAN; T-Mobile detailed its $40B upgrade plans; and Google's Istio move ignited an open source tempest.

TSMC and Microsoft claim they can fuel a new category of electronics design automation workloads by boosting computational power in the cloud.

Cisco Silicon One delivers high-capacity systems to efficiently manage the power required to cool down active components.

Nokia's wobbly Verizon footing grew shakier; Lumina Networks lights went out; and Fungible DPU drew Juniper, Samsung, Alibaba accolades.

“We invented what we believe to be the third socket in data centers,” said Pradeep Sindhu, CEO and co-founder of Fungible.

VMware pushed Kubernetes automation; Amazon promised a hiring spree; and IBM went all in on AI.
