AI Chips

AMD says it has reached a 4x AI energy efficiency gain since 2024, ahead of its own roadmap pace toward a 20x improvement by 2030, though the figure rests on modeled estimates rather than independent benchmarks.

LG picked up NVIDIA's AI Factory validation for a 600kW Coolant Distribution Unit, part of a "Chip-to-Chiller" cooling push that puts the appliance brand in competition for AI data center infrastructure contracts.

At its Advancing AI 2026 keynote, AMD launched Helios, its new rack-scale AI platform, alongside MI400 GPUs and sixth-gen EPYC CPUs. The more telling detail: Anthropic is committing up to 2 gigawatts of AMD chips, and in return AMD's engineers get access to Claude to help build ROCm, the software stack AMD needs to compete with Nvidia. OpenAI, Meta and Cerebras also confirmed Helios deployments.
