@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social OP: "I'm convinced the size of the Utah hyperscale data center is being reported in 'acres' because the average person has no idea how big 40,000 acres is. It's 62 square miles. For a data center." 62 square miles, as a square, is just under 8 miles a side. Which is about 4 times what's occupied by O'Hare International Airport. #AI #datacenter

‘So much worse than I even thought’: Utah’s ‘hyperscale’ data center could create massive heat island near Great Salt Lake

https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2026/05/07/utahs-data-center-could-create/

Skeptics of the proposed hyperscale data center in Box Elder County are sweating about a lot more than its energy demands and potential toll on water supplies.

AI isn't just hungry for GPUs anymore — it's eating CPUs too. In 2026, server CPU lead times have stretched up to a year, prices are up 20%, and both Intel and AMD are sold out. The culprit? The shift from AI training to real-time agentic AI, which is pushing CPU-to-GPU ratios from 1:8 toward 1:1 in data centers. If you're managing IT assets, this changes your buying AND selling calculus. We break down what's driving the crunch, what's coming next (hint: Nova Lake and Zen 6 are both delayed to 2027), and how to turn the shortage to your advantage. https://www.buysellram.com/blog/why-ai-is-causing-a-global-cpu-shortage-and-what-it-means-for-your-business/ #ServerCPU #CPUShortage #AIInfrastructure #Intel #AMD #ITAD #DataCenter #ITAssetManagement #TechNews #EnterpriseIT #CPUPrices2026 #AgenticAI #technology

The Guardian | Google to tap into gas plant for AI datacenter in sharp turn from climate goals by Dara Kerr Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco Google has struck a partnership for a natural gas power plant that could provide energy for one of its datacenters in Texas, unearthed by new research and confirmed by the company. The move is part of an ongoing about-face for the tech giant, which once pledged to be carbon neutral by 2030 and has long been seen as a pioneer in clean energy. The gas power plant is slated to be built in Armstrong county, a sparsely populated area in the Texas panhandle. According to a report by the research organization Cleanview, the project is being led by Crusoe Energy, which partnered with Google to develop the datacenter campus known as “Goodnight”, named after a nearby town.

Observer | Starcloud CEO Philip Johnston on Putting the First A.I. Data Center in Space by Tom Samiljan Starcloud-9293.jpg?quality=80&w=970" alt="Three men in black shirts posing for a photo" width="970" height="647" data-caption='Philip Johnston (middle) and his co-founders, Adi Oltean (right) and Ezra Feilden (left). Gregor Elgee'> In November, a 60-kilogram satellite the size of a small refrigerator called Starcloud-1 streaked into low Earth orbit aboard a SpaceX rocket carrying the first data-center-class GPU ever operated in space—an Nvidia H100 roughly 100 times more powerful than any prior orbital compute. Within weeks, Starcloud, the company making the satellite, announced it had trained a language model on the complete works of Shakespeare and had run Google’s Gemini from roughly 200 miles above Earth. “The spacecraft is performing better than we could have hoped for,” Philip Johnston, co-founder and CEO of Starcloud, told Observer. Johnston founded the Redmond, Wash. company in early 2024, backed by a conviction that has since attracted $200 million from investors, including Nvidia, In-Q-Tel, Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator: Rather than build better infrastructure on Earth to satiate A.I.’s runaway energy appetite, move the infrastructure off of Earth entirely. Today (March 30), the company announced it raised a $170 million in Series A funding at a $1.1 billion valuation, helping it reach unicorn status in just 17 months (and the quickest to do so in Y Combinator’s history). Johnston, 39, brings a distinctly financial pragmatism to the cosmos. Before pivoting to aerospace, Johnston served as an algorithmic trader at BNP Paribas, consulted for national space agencies at McKinsey and co-founded Opontia, an e-commerce aggregator that raised $46 million before being acquired. Starcloud-1 is the first data center in space Orbital data centers have a cooling problem Space data centers are gaining steam amid regulatory and political risks Read more: https://observer.com/2026/03/starcloud-ceo-philip-johnston-nvidia-space-data-center/ #datacenter #nvidia #space #spacex

As the AI arms race accelerates, the 18-month hardware refresh cycle has transformed GPUs from simple components into high-value infrastructure assets. This article explores why selling hundreds of units—like NVIDIA’s H100 or A100—requires a shift from "peer-to-peer" thinking to "Enterprise ITAD" strategy. https://medium.com/@samlamucf/where-to-sell-gpus-in-bulk-a-practical-guide-for-ai-and-data-center-hardware-7d9c2216f020 #DataCenter #ITAD #GPU #EnterpriseTech #NVIDIA #TechStrategy #BuySellRam #CircularEconomy #AI #H100 #Blackwell #GPU #TechNews #EnterpriseAI #AssetRecovery

PC DRAM Contract Pricing Approaches 100% QoQ Surge TrendForce’s latest forecast signals a structural price shock across the memory and storage stack. Contract pricing for PC DRAM is projected to exceed 100% QoQ, while conventional DRAM, server DRAM, NAND, and enterprise SSDs are all seeing double-digit to near-triple-digit increases. The key driver is not traditional PC demand—it is the capacity reallocation toward HBM4 and AI infrastructure, which is tightening supply for mainstream memory. For IT procurement teams, this marks a shift from cyclical pricing to allocation-driven pricing, where long-term supply agreements and OEM demand dictate availability. For organizations holding surplus DDR4/DDR5, server memory, or enterprise SSDs, the current environment represents a rare asset-recovery window as secondary market values track rising contract prices. https://www.buysellram.com/blog/trendforce-2026-update-pc-dram-prices-to-double-as-hbm4-shipments-begin/ #PCDRAM #DRAM #MemoryMarket #HBM #AIInfrastructure #ServerMemory #DataCenter #ITAssetRecovery #Semiconductor #SupplyChain #Samsung #Micron #SKHynix #technology

Toronto-based Taalas just emerged from stealth with a claim that’s shaking the hardware world: 17,000 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 8B. How? By physically etching the AI model directly into the silicon transistors. No HBM. No liquid cooling. Just raw, hardwired performance that is 10x faster and 20x cheaper than traditional GPU inference. https://www.buysellram.com/blog/17000-tokens-second-is-taalas-hardwired-silicon-the-ultimate-solution-to-the-ai-memory-wall-and-hbm-shortage/ The Breakthrough: Taalas has unveiled the HC1 chip, achieving a massive 17,000 tokens/second on Llama 3.1 8B. It is roughly 10x faster and 20x cheaper than traditional GPU inference. The “Hardwired” Secret: Unlike GPUs that load software, Taalas etches the AI model directly into the silicon transistors. By physically embedding the weights, they eliminate the need for High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Solving the Memory Wall: By removing the “data movement” between external memory and the processor, Taalas bypasses the industry’s biggest bottleneck—the Memory Wall—and operates entirely on standard air cooling. The Trade-off: The chip is model-specific. While it offers “insane” efficiency for stable, high-volume production (like 24/7 chatbots), it lacks the programmability and flexibility of a GPU. Market Impact: The rise of these specialized “Inference Factories” actually increases the long-term value of your GPUs. Because GPUs are versatile and can be repurposed for any new model, they remain the “Gold Standard” for resale and training.
