AMD has outlined its role in two planned Oak Ridge National Laboratory supercomputing platforms, Lux and Discovery, positioned to support the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission. The initiative brings together national laboratories, industry, academia, and other partners to apply AI, simulation, and scientific data to energy, discovery science, and national-security research. Lux, under construction

Advancing AI 2026 was AMD’s biggest launch event yet, big enough that we split our coverage in two. Our first article covered the Instinct MI455X and the 72-GPU Helios rack; this sister piece covers what could not comfortably fit alongside them: the 6th Gen EPYC server CPUs, codenamed Venice, and the Verano host processor. The

AMD hosted its largest Advancing AI event to date, emphasizing scale as a central theme. The company introduced the Instinct MI455X GPU, the 72-GPU Helios rack, and the 6th Generation EPYC Venice CPUs. The MI455X features 432GB of HBM4, a 50% increase over NVIDIA’s B300 or Rubin, with 23.3TB/s of memory bandwidth and up to

Wasabi Technologies and Megaport Limited have entered a strategic partnership to add Wasabi cloud object storage to Megaport Storage. The integration combines Wasabi’s object storage platform with Megaport’s private global network, targeting AI data platforms, analytics environments, cyber resilience workflows, and other large-scale cloud storage use cases.
