IBM has announced Nighthawk r3, its next quantum processor, designed to run 10,000 quantum operations accurately across 520 programmable qubits. The chip carries 2,034 physical qubits and adds 10 chip-to-chip interconnects, and IBM plans to link two of them into a single 1,040-qubit system in 2027. That is 4.3 times the programmable qubit count of

The Lenovo ThinkPad T1g Gen 9 pairs a business ThinkPad with a consumer graphics card. It is a 16-inch aluminum notebook with Intel vPro, MIL-STD-810H testing, a discrete TPM, and a TrackPoint. Its top graphics option is the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 12GB of memory, whereas a mobile workstation would carry an RTX

KIOXIA America and Dell Technologies have put 157PB of raw flash in a single 42U rack, using 640 KIOXIA LC9 Series 245.76TB SSDs across 16 Dell PowerEdge R7725xd servers running software-defined Dell ObjectScale. KIOXIA calls it the first 157PB object storage configuration in an industry-standard rack, a claim it bases on its survey of the

HPE has added hybrid flash and hard drive configurations to its Cray Supercomputing Storage Systems E2000, pairing SSDs with new 32TB SAS-4 HDDs in new SAS-4 enclosures that hold 74 or 100 drives. HPE rates a rack at up to 116GB/s of read throughput and 92GB/s of write throughput and calls the result the fastest

Lenovo has introduced two ThinkSystem V5 servers built on AMD’s 6th Gen EPYC 9006 SP7 processors: the SC755 V5, a Neptune liquid-cooled dual-socket node for HPC clusters, and the SR755 V5, an air-cooled single-socket 2U rack server. Announced ahead of SC26, the launch also covers the ThinkSystem DE6500 and DE6800 NVMe block arrays, validation of

Cornelis and AMD have launched a joint program to design, validate, and deploy HPC and AI-for-science systems that pair AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs with Cornelis networking, sold through the OEMs and system integrators customers already use. The announcement is anchored by a production system: GWDG’s new EMMY P4 supercomputer in Göttingen, Germany, runs

Sandisk has introduced the iNAND CL EM181, an e.MMC 5.1A embedded flash drive built on 112-layer 3D TLC NAND in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacities. Announced at electronica 2026 in Munich, it is aimed at products that stay in production for years and still use e.MMC, including set-top boxes, home gateways, smart TVs, security cameras,

Nexsan has introduced the Unity NV12000, a 2U dual-controller unified storage array that takes 24 122.88TB QLC NVMe SSDs for nearly 3PB of raw flash in the head unit. Four of the company’s new U2F226 NVMe expansion enclosures, at 26 bays each, bring an all-flash system to 15.72PB raw in 10U, which works out to

AMD’s 6th Gen EPYC server CPU family, codenamed Venice, brings Zen 6 and Zen 6c cores to a lineup built to take on every corner of the server market. AMD is pushing core counts and clock speeds higher and giving those cores considerably more bandwidth to work with, through a larger memory subsystem and the
