Nvidia's Olympus core architecture prioritizes single-thread IPC over frequency, using a 10-wide decode front end, deep out-of-order mid-core, and a graph prefetcher tuned for agentic AI's branch-heavy, pointer-heavy workloads Vera trades chiplet-style core density for a monolithic 88-core die and single-NUMA-per-socket design, a deliberate bet on agentic AI workloads that Nvidia's own engineers admit comes at the expense of legacy workload performance Self-reported SPEC CPU 2026 results by Nvidia paint a per-core advantage figure of anywhere between 70% and 80% versus AMD's EPYC 9755 server CPU Nvidia's Vera CPU has a lot to prove, representing the company's first real attempt at the AI server CPU market, where traditional vendors Intel and AMD, along with third-party Arm-based providers, are all gunning for a piece of an increasingly lucrative data center pie. To that ...

Athlete Josh Kerr just broke the world record mile time He did so while wearing an Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro smartwatch Amazfit has published data from the record-breaking run What does it take to run a mile in a world record time? After Scottish athlete Josh Kerr’s recent world record-shattering 3:42.66 achievement, Amazfit has published a wealth of data straight from the track — and there are some fascinating insights to be found within. Perhaps the most impressive data point to emerge from Kerr’s race, logged on a Cheetah 2 Pro , is the remarkable consistency in his split times. His four laps clocked in at 55.3, 55.8, 55.4 and 54.9 seconds, with just 0.9 seconds separating the fastest lap from the slowest. His quickest lap, in fact, was the last one, helping to push him over the line and claim the world record, which had previously stood for 27 years. Even more striking were Kerr’s 200-meter tim...

Pentagon eyes swarms of cheap drones over a handful of expensive fighter jets Carrier decks may soon be crowded with robots doing eight different combat jobs US Navy next fighter wing could fly itself from takeoff to target and back The US Navy has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking a new family of carrier-based drones which would operate alongside manned aircraft while supporting missions across the full range of naval combat operations. The service wants these systems to fly from Ford-class and Nimitz-class nuclear carriers, while some designs could operate from smaller vessels. Its requirements seeking industry proposals for platforms capable of eight missions, including attacks against ships and land targets, anti-submarine warfare, air combat, electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Navy seeks autonomous aircraft for eight missions The aircraft would al...

Saronic's Port Alpha facility could expand from 835 acres to nearly 4,400 acres The shipyard could eventually build vessels exceeding 1,200 feet long Saronic expects Port Alpha to create up to 10,000 direct jobs Saronic has selected Brownsville, Texas, for ' Port Alpha ', a planned shipyard designed to produce autonomous vessels at unprecedented industrial scale. The project is expected to attract more than $3 billion in private investment and begin construction during 2026. When operational in 2028, the facility will combine shipbuilding, advanced manufacturing, robotics and software development across an 835-acre site. Port Alpha aims to rebuild American shipbuilding capacity The site could eventually expand to nearly 4,400 acres, giving Saronic space to develop one of the largest shipbuilding facilities in the United States. Its initial production facilities will support vessels up...

SK On says solid-state cells can give industrial robots the 8+ hour runtime of a human shift, but adoption might be another story While upcoming solid-state batteries boost productivity through longer operating times and lower overall operating costs, they are prohibitively more expensive than some of their lithium-ion peers Modern Li-on-based batteries are under 2% of a robot's manufacturing cost today, and solid-state would push that share to around 8%, a premium that could come with serious tradeoffs for manufacturers Modern robotics is a field that continues to grow over time, fueled by a mix of smarter AI, manufacturing efficiencies and at times, better materials that change what is possible on the ground. The robots currently in use in factories and warehouses however have a key limitation that has yet to be addressed properly: Lithium-ion batteries often can not keep up with the power ...
