Building on these updates, we have already formed a very insightful perspective on how AI infrastructure deployments are shaping up for next year. Please follow the link for our insight summarized on a single slide.

Hynix is emphasizing its transition to 1C to support conventional DRAM demand (expected to represent >50% of Korean capacity by end of 2026) and its ramp of M15X to increase HBM output in 2026.NAND demand/supply grow

Discovery will be built around the MI430, a variant of AMD's MI400 processors tuned for HPC. The biggest surprise here (in our view) is Discovery's delivery isn

We will host a slate of exceptional speakers through Feb-26 (full line-up on website). Our first session, a conversation with Mark Wade, CEO of Ayar Labs, went deep on optical I/O: progress in bringing optical I/O to market, the roadblocks to scaling co-packaged optics, and how optical interconnects could redefine the architecture and economics of datacentres. Please see the link below for our takes.
