Samsung has a new NAND that will enable the company to make even larger SSDs. Dubbed the Samsung V9 QLC V-NAND, the new generation comes with a host of features, including channel hole etching allowing for a higher layer count.

We have been doing a lot of AMD EPYC Siena coverage on STH. This is an exciting development. HPE has a new AMD EPYC 8004 server. Dubbed the HPE ProLiant DL145, the 2U edge server is designed to be deployed in the field.

This week, SK hynix said that its newest 36GB HBM3E 12-High modules are now in volume production. Recently, Micron said its HBM3E 12-High 36GB modules are shipping. It seems like SK hynix is joining the 36GB HBM3E party.

Today AMD announced that it has new embedded processors. This is the “new” AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 Series which might seem like a rebadge of the AMD EPYC 8004 “Siena” Launched last year. What is neat is that this generation has a 12-core SKU that can drop its configurable TDP down to only 70W.

Microsoft Azure NVIDIA GB200 systems are huge, with two thirds of the aisle space being dedicated to cooling the NVIDIA rack

Micron has a new corporate logo. Gone is the orbit around the M and in are the new curves. Since we use a ton of Micron RDIMMs as well as some of their SSDs, this is a notable branding change. Of course, we love to hear what you think about it.

At the AMD AI event where we featured the EPYC 9005 Turin CPU, AMD also launched a new AI GPU, the AMD Instinct MI325X. This accelerator is an upgrade over the MI300X, but it is also one that has changed a bit from when we have seen it previously. AMD also talked about its mid-2025 accelerator, the AMD Instinct MI355X.

Here is a fun one. At OCP Summit 2024, Marvell showed off a functional PCIe Gen7 SerDes running at 128GT/s. This is already working in 3nm process for next-gen chips. Or perhaps better said, next-next-gen chips.

At OCP Summit 2024, we saw a new HPE server. The HPE ProLiant DL384 Gen12 has two NVIDIA GH200 packages onboard and quite a few uncommon things going on. We found this server at the Arm booth for obvious reasons. It is a NVIDIA Grace Hopper Arm server, which makes it a bit different.
