Data centers forecast to use 20% of US power by 2035 — analysts estimate usage will rocket to 194 gigawatts, 83% more than forecast seven months ago

by

BNEF’s December outlook put 2035 demand at 106 GW, and that figure was itself 36% above the projection the firm published in April 2025, which works out to roughly 78 GW. The 2035 number has increased around 2.5 times in…

Nvidia shows off DLSS 5 with three AI modes for different levels of detail — upscaler can switch between models in real-time

by

DLSS 5 is building up to be a significant step for upscaling tech just when we thought AMD was finally catching up . However, many people may still worry about artistic intent, even if the new demos look a lot more polis…

SMIC’s third-gen 7nm node shows smaller metal pitch than Intel 18A, higher transistor density than TSMC N6 without EUV — analysis of N+3 shows significant advan

by

SemiAnalysis’ teardown indicates that SMIC’s N+3 fabrication process supports a minimum metal pitch of 32.5nm, which is nominally tighter than the approximately 36nm pitch used for many high-performance cells in Intel’s …

Nvidia grants direct access to the company’s graphics cards and drivers through Nvidia API (NVAPI). Game and software developers employ NVAPI for a range of advanced features. Developers of monitoring tools, specifically…

Google reportedly developing ‘Frozen v2’ chip with Gemini’s architecture etched into the silicon — engineers project 6 to 10 times more tokens per watt than lat

by

A TPU, like a GPU, runs whatever model is loaded onto it, which means the hardware makes time-consuming runtime decisions as it interacts with each one. Frozen v2 would have some of those decisions for Gemini fixed in th…

Trump administration reportedly reviving push to ban Chinese AI models following Kimi K3 launch, citing cybersecurity concerns — downloadable open weights could
