NOR Flash and SLC NAND production are under threat as capacity gets routed to more profitable products — 'severe undersupply' threatens everyday electronics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The memory chip that makes a router remember how to be a router is a world away from the sleek GPUs that are attracting eye-popping investments and alarming valuations, as well as sending stock markets shooting upwards. They’re small, historically have been cheap, and are based on technology that has been around for years. But despite being a world away from GPUs, the price of these often overlooked chips is skyrocketing, thanks to the all-encompassing memory price crisis caused by the AI boom.
The supercomputer race no longer means what it used to, as rankings lose relevance in the AI era — as privately held compute clusters are built, running HPL becomes a distraction (opens the original)

China's LineShine is the world's fastest supercomputer – though having said that, it does depend on who exactly is counting. The machine, based in the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, debuted at number one in the June 2026 TOP500 list published in mid-July because of its eye-popping results, with nearly 2.2 exaflops, or more than two quintillion floating-point calculations per second. The system also topped the competing HPCG ranking. But the picture was more mixed taken in the round:
Inside optical and the battle for scale – how the AI industry is racing to integrate photonic interconnects (opens the original)

AI hardware has been a pretty simple game for years: Whose GPU has the most FLOPS, the most memory, or the fastest clock? But as hyperscalers want more performance from the same size of facilities, who controls the fabric between the chips is becoming another question frequently asked – in large part because it can dictate whether AI hardware follows the principles of Moore’s law that have held for decades, or breaks out into a new paradigm. “Moore's Law is deader than a doornail, absolutely jus
While the U.S. flip-flops on chip sanctions, China is building its own chip supply market — export controls are creating conditions for a Sino-Russian chip trade alliance (opens the original)

When German Gref, chief executive of Sberbank, told Russian state broadcaster Channel One in May that he hoped to run the country's flagship GigaChat AI model on Chinese-made processors, it highlighted how difficult getting access to the global supply chain was for countries like Russia. Sberbank, Russia’s largest lender and the driving force behind Russia's push into AI, is seeking to secure Chinese chips because Western sanctions continue to block its access to advanced hardware from abroad.
