The collaboration between AMD and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Facility at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) continues, with two more supercomputers planned to join the two that already are deployed. The two existing systems at ORNL are Frontier, an all-AMD design, and

Today’s IT environment of multiple clouds, hybrid work, and the exploding popularity of AI has given cybercriminals unprecedented opportunities for launching attacks — and the traditional arsenal of tools organizations use to stop them isn’t working. The network perimeter has disappeared, and every new device, app, cloud connection, and AI tool expands the threat surface. Not surprisingly, the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report found a 34% increase in the number of attackers exploiting vulnerabilities to gain network access and cause security breaches.

Samsung Electronics has said it will begin mass-producing its most advanced memory chips next year to meet surging AI demand, a shift analysts say could help clear the supply bottlenecks that have slowed any cloud and enterprise network upgrades. “Demand for HBM4 is also projected to increase, and the Company plans to proactively respond with capacity expansion in 1c [DRAM],” Samsung said in a statement. “It will also concentrate on expanding sales of other high-value-added products, such as DDR5, LPDDR5x, and high-density QLC SSDs to meet demand for AI applications.” Samsung said it will continue to prioritize server demand for HBM3E and high-density enterprise SSDs

The financing arrangement for Oracle’s massive data center plan aimed at feeding the AI monster could result in a $38 billion debt offering as soon as next week, and according to this week’s report from Morgan Stanley, that figure could skyrocket to $55 billion – $75 billion as a result of the “sheer size of data center capex needs.” This adds another factor to CIOs’ vendor evaluation criteria, Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst, founder, and CEO of Greyhound Research, said Wednesday, noting, “the recent surge in Oracle’s credit

Broadcom is still trying to strongarm VMware customers into accepting huge price increases and onerous licensing terms, says the European Cloud Competition Observatory (ECCO) in its latest report. If anything, ECCO’s third report, a follow-on from an equally scathing report in May, finds that the situation with VMware has deteriorated during 2025, with the US vendor seemin
