SPAN has announced that its four newest smart panel models are the first to receive UL 3141 certification. This safety standard for Power Control Systems ensures devices can manage electrical loads effectively while protecting consumer safety and device integrity. The certification supports increased home electrification by utilizing existing utility infrastructure, potentially helping homeowners avoid expensive service upgrades.
AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su addressed concerns that the rise of agentic AI might cannibalize the GPU market, arguing instead that the demand is largely additive. While GPUs are essential for running foundational models, CPUs play a critical role in orchestration, data movement, and parallel execution required by autonomous agents. This shift could fundamentally change industry-standard CPU-to-GPU ratios, potentially moving from traditional 1:8 configurations toward a more balanced 1:1 ratio as agentic workloads expand.
Nvidia introduces the Rubin CPX GPU, designed to accelerate AI inference by decoupling the context and generation phases. It utilizes GDDR7 memory for lower cost and power consumption, aiming to redefine AI infrastructure.
Yahoo has opened its new data center in La Vista, Nebraska. The 180,000 square foot facility near Omaha will hold about 100,000 servers, employ around 50 people and will become the largest Yahoo data center when expansions are completed.
