AMD used its IFA 2026 opening keynote to reveal the Threadripper Halo Station, a liquid-cooled workstation pairing a 96-core Threadripper PRO with a pair of Instinct MI350P accelerators, and the pitch could not be more direct: this is AMD’s answer to NVIDIA’s GB300 DGX Station. “This is the most powerful workstation in the world,” said

For two decades, the SSD-versus-HDD conversation ended the same way: flash wins on performance, disk wins on price per terabyte, and the size of that price gap settled the argument in favor of bulk storage. As storage technology has matured and AI has taken over, that framing is clearly out of date. The largest data

Equinix has expanded its partnership with NVIDIA and entered a new collaboration with Together AI to launch Equinix Inference Exchange.
