Professional GPU prices rise and consumer cards face shortages, while overclocking tools expose VRAM and power limits. Meanwhile, Google diversifies its TPU supply chain and explores AMD collaboration for next-generation silicon.
Google has tied a warrant to Marvell that vests through fiscal 2033 and covers five chip categories. TPU sourcing now extends beyond a single supplier, signaling a multi-vendor strategy for custom accelerators.
The Hydra update adds VRAM and power limit controls for RTX 50 GPUs, with memory offset up to +3000 MHz. For teams running LLMs locally, memory bandwidth is often the bottleneck: finer control promises extra headroom, but stability testing remains es...
A CDW listing shows the PNY NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 with 96 GB GDDR7 jumping from $16,000 to $19,999. The move reignites debate about cost and predictability of professional GPUs for on-premises AI workloads.
PC Partner warns that GPU prices will keep rising and budget cards will become harder to find. An analyst suggests manufacturers are raising prices beyond memory cost increases. For on-premise LLM deployments, this affects TCO and availability of VRA...
Reports suggest Google is working with AMD on next-generation TPU design, with a hybrid AI ASIC that could integrate on-package CPU cores for reinforcement learning. The move signals deeper integration in custom AI silicon and matters for on-premise ...
