The September 22 agreement is roughly $500M in cash plus a three-year $56.5M retention program and about $50M in RSUs, the largest acquisition in Cognex's history. RealSense is expected to generate $80M-$90M in 2026 revenue at more than 50% growth, and Cognex sizes robotic perception at ~$600M today growing 25%+ annually to ~$1.6B by 2030. The perception layer agents need to act in the physical world is consolidating into incumbents rather than staying independent. (PR Newswire)

Xeon 6+ scales to 288 efficiency cores with 2.5x performance and 45% better perf-per-watt. Crescent Island is a 350W air-cooled PCIe GPU with up to 480GB LPDDR5X for low-TCO inference (Intel). The "not NVIDIA-locked" pitch is going to matter more as buyers feel the bill. Optio...
Announced August 5, funding up to 10 hubs, one award per state or region, pooling advanced computing, data and software for AI-enabled research and education, with NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Dell, Hangar and the Secunda Innovation Fund all committing support. It also funds consortium...
Effective September 1, the hardware chief who led Intel-to-Apple-Silicon takes over. 1,851 HN points. The consensus: his device-integration philosophy signals Apple believes AI's future runs through tightly integrated hardware, not cloud-first.
Tom's Hardware confirms the first sub-$1000 GPU with enough VRAM for serious local inference. Runs Qwen 3.5 27B at 4-bit at ~13 tok/s single-request. Intel's software stack still trails CUDA, but the hardware price point changes the local inference calculus.
PR #19378 landed in llama.cpp this week, and I think most people are underselling what it means. Backend-agnostic tensor parallelism via --split-mode tensor makes multi-GPU inference work across AMD, Intel, and Apple Silicon. Not just CUDA. Everything. For context: llama.cpp h...
Reuters reported, citing anonymous sources, that the two are discussing SK Hynix producing memory at Intel's planned Ohio factory, either by leasing space or through a joint venture that could include cloud providers. No memory type, dollar figure or timeline is set, and SK Hy...
