IBM buys HRL Laboratories in shift to two-track quantum computing strategy

IBM has agreed to buy HRL Laboratories, a private quantum computing research lab jointly owned by Boeing Co and General Motors, the ‌company said on Thursday, adding a second pillar to IBM's quantum computing efforts. IBM has been racing ‌against Alphabet's Google, Microsoft and others to create practical quantum machines that can crack problems that would take conventional computers thousands ​of years to solve. In May, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said it would award $1 billion to IBM to set up a new company called Anderon in New Albany, New York, to serve as a chip factory for U.S. quantum computing firms.

Exclusive-Intel, AMD sign long-term server CPU deals with Chinese clients as prices surge, sources say

U.S. chipmaking giants Intel and Advanced Micro Devices are signing longer-term purchase commitments with Chinese server customers for data-centre processors as prices ‌surge, two people familiar with the talks said. The move highlights a broader consequence of the ‌AI boom: demand has spread beyond AI accelerators to memory, networking gear and server processors, giving suppliers greater leverage to seek long-term purchase ​deals. AI data centres require not only Nvidia-style graphics processors (GPUs) but also large numbers of central processing units (CPUs) to support servers, storage, networking and inference workloads.

Google's Q2 earnings of $112.11B beat Wall Street's expectations on AI boom

Google parent company Alphabet Inc. posted stronger-than-expected results for its second quarter, a sign that it's massive artificial intelligence spending spree is paying off so far and advertising revenue is coming in strong. Google did not disclose an adjusted earnings figure that's comparable to analysts' expectations, which was $2.88 per share. Google saw a net gain of $98 billion, mainly as a result of gains on its equity investments — mostly in SpaceX, which went public in June.
