Google introduced its seventh‑generation Tensor Processing Unit, dubbed Ironwood, at a recent Hot Chips event. The dual‑die chip delivers 4,614 TFLOPs of FP8 performance and pairs each die with eight stacks of HBM3e, providing 192 GB of memory per chip. When scaled to a 9,216‑chip pod, the system reaches 1.77 PB of directly addressable memory—the largest shared‑memory configuration ever recorded for a supercomputer. The architecture includes advanced reliability features, liquid‑cooling infrastructure, and AI‑assisted design optimizations, and is already being deployed in Google Cloud data centers for large‑scale inference workloads.

Microsoft disclosed a £22 billion (about $30 billion) investment in the United Kingdom to expand AI infrastructure and support ongoing operations. The plan includes $15 billion in capital spending to build the nation’s largest supercomputer, featuring more than 23,000 advanced GPUs, in partnership with Nscale. The effort will also fund data‑center expansion and support the company’s 6,000 UK employees. Microsoft’s pledge dwarfs Google’s earlier £5 billion (around $6.8 billion) commitment to UK AI. British officials praised the investment as a strong vote of confidence in the country’s tech leadership. Leer más →

Microsoft announced its Fairwater AI data center, touted as the world’s most powerful, will open in early 2026 at the former Foxconn LCD factory in Wisconsin. The $3.3 billion project spans 1.2 million square feet across three buildings on 315 acres and houses “hundreds of thousands” of Nvidia GB200 GPUs linked by massive fiber capacity. Microsoft says the cluster is ten‑times more powerful than the fastest supercomputer. A closed‑loop cooling system is highlighted as a sustainable feature, aiming to minimize water waste while powering massive AI training workloads. Leer más →
