Google is preparing to send its Tensor Processing Unit hardware into orbit as Project Suncatcher moves from ground testing to its first spaceflight experiment. The mission is a hardware test, not a full orbital data center. But it puts several problems familiar to terrestrial data-center engineers into a much harsher environment: power density, semiconductor reliability,…

Marvell is demonstrating next-generation Ethernet and optical networking technology designed to move AI data centers toward 3.2-terabit-per-second (Tbps) optical links. The important distinction is the physical connection. These are not 3.2T Cat6-style copper cables. Marvell’s 400G-per-lane PAM4 technology provides a path toward 3.2T optical Ethernet interfaces carried over fiber. Very short data-center links can still…

Oracle has issued a force majeure notice tied to Project Jupiter, a massive New Mexico AI data-center campus, after potential delays emerged in securing power for the site, Reuters reported. The 1,400-acre campus is part of Oracle’s agreement with OpenAI to provide AI computing capacity. The project has secured roughly $18 billion in loans, while…

U.S. data centers could face a 33-gigawatt power shortfall through 2028, according to Morgan Stanley’s latest estimate, even after accounting for accelerated solutions such as onsite generation, fuel cells and nuclear power. The bank raised its estimate for incremental U.S. data-center demand from 68 GW to 97 GW. Its model counts 21 GW of facilities…
