What compute base does personal AI actually need? As phones start to understand intent, call tools and complete tasks continuously, the platform must support a full personal-AI experience, not one model inference. At Arm Everywhere China 2026, Arm released its latest CSS for Mobile 2, where AI plays two roles in the new phone compute … Read more
Demand for desktop AI compute among professional users is growing exponentially, from local large-model fine-tuning and inference to generative-AI design, data-science mining and 3D simulation modelling. Traditional desktop GPUs are bottlenecked by memory capacity, AI compute throughput and multi-task parallelism, and cannot fit the increasingly complex desktop AI-development and professional-visual-computing scenarios. NVIDIA RTX PRO desktop … Read more
China sits at the pivot from manufacturing giant to smart-manufacturing power, and industrial software, CAE simulation, fluid compute and electromagnetic EDA, is the bridge. Domestic industrial software has advanced fast in algorithms and physics modelling toward self-reliance, yet in aerospace, chip design and energy exploration it hits one core bottleneck: not enough speed, it runs … Read more
Jieluo Intelligent Equipment (Suzhou) recently held a ground-breaking for its headquarters project in Wuzhong district. The site covers 42.5 mu, about 70,000 square metres, with total investment of RMB 1.2 billion, building a headquarters base to make 2,000 rail-free navigation robots (AMRs) and 500 wafer-smart-storage units a year, pitched at RMB 2.5 billion in annual … Read more
Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports that DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT accelerators in a data centre under construction in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, one of the largest Huawei AI chip clusters known. DeepSeek and Huawei have not commented. The purpose is clear. The chips will run already-trained models, … Read more
Two announcements landed within hours of each other in early September, and together they frame the next fight in AI: who defines consumer computing once models run on the desk instead of in the cloud. On 1 September Tim Cook stepped down as Apple chief executive to become executive chairman, handing the company to John … Read more
Black Sesame Technologies has delivered the first batch of its Aura Devkit to collaborative robot maker AUBO, the two companies said, deepening a tie that now spans project bids, joint research and commercial supply. Black Sesame Aura compute module from the SesameX embodied-AI platform (Source: Gasgoo) A car chip moves into the robot The Aura … Read more
On 24 August, media reports said the US government is considering approving Apple’s purchase of products from Chinese memory makers, in a move to ease the storage supply pressure the company currently faces. According to the reports, Apple has already been testing DRAM and NAND chips from two Chinese memory suppliers. If later cleared for … Read more
On 23 August, Bloomberg reported on Saturday that some of Nvidia’s largest customers have been told that servers containing its artificial-intelligence chips will in many cases rise more than 15 per cent, because memory-chip costs are surging. The price increase takes effect from the start of next year and covers systems built on the flagship … Read more
Before Groq’s LPU rode Nvidia’s spotlight to fame, Yuanchuan Micro founder and CEO Yang Bin was already sketching an inference chip. LeiFeng Net has learned exclusively that the LPU start-up has closed a several-hundred-million-yuan Pre-A round led by IDG Capital, with Futong Capital, JK Venture, Shangqi Capital, Shunxi Fund and Xuhui Sci-Tech Innovation Investment joining. … Read more
