A new open-access SoftwareX study comparing 12 data-center cooling topologies found that a direct-to-chip liquid-cooled design reached a PUE of 1.12 in a full-year Miami simulation, versus 1.35 for its comparable air-cooled configuration—a 17% reduction in PUE. Liquid cooling won on energy and carbon The DCOPTEST study used a physics-based Modelica testbed to run 8,760…

A new open-access study published October 9, 2026, directly compared CPU-initiated memory access on NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper and AMD’s MI300A. The researchers found that MI300A mean random-read latency was 40–430 ns higher than GH200 CPU-local memory across the tested region sizes. The architectures behave differently The Datenbank-Spektrum study used CXL-Bench on systems in the…

Arm said on October 13, 2026, that its AGI CPU averaged 1.99× modeled performance per rack against AMD EPYC 9755 across seven agentic-AI workloads. The underlying server measurements were independently tested by Signal65; the rack-level comparison was then modeled from those measured results. What the tests showed According to Arm’s October 13 release, modeled rack…
