The sharpest cuts came after the federal EV tax credit expired, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 leading the slide at a 13.8% drop of over $7,000, followed by the Chevrolet Equinox EV at nearly $4,000 off — six models in total posted drops above 5%. FORD TEASES EUROPE CAR RETURN AFTER FIESTA, FOCUSFord CEO Jim Farley used the Q4 2025 earnings call to signal "exciting plans" for passenger cars in Europe, framing the comeback as a selective, profitable return to specific segments rather than a volume land grab. Two new EVs built on Renault's Ampere platform are expected in the subcompact segment from the Ford–Renault partnership, with new passenger cars set to start arriving in 2027 under a new dedicated Europe passenger-car leadership role. UBER EXPANDS EV RIDES ACROSS EIGHT UK CITIESUber has rolled out its EV ride option to eight more UK cities — Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Belfast and Merseyside — at standard UberX prices, after falling short of its pledge to run an all-electric London fleet by end-2025. Only 40% of London miles are now covered by EVs, with UK General Manager Andrew Brem citing charging access as "the biggest barrier," prompting Uber to announce driver support measures including discounted home and public charging in partnership with Pod Point. BMW TALKS PRICE FLOOR TO DODGE EU MINI DUTYBMW and the European Commission are in advanced talks to replace the EU's 20.7% countervailing duty on China-made Mini BEVs with a minimum import price agreement, according to Handelsblatt — covering the Mini Cooper Electric and Mini Aceman, both built at BMW's Zhangjiagang joint venture with Great Wall Motor. The approach would mirror the "price undertaking" the EU accepted from Volkswagen Anhui in early February, which freed the Cupra Tavascan from countervailing duties in exchange for a confidential price floor, volume cap and EU investment commitments. EU CITY BUS SALES HIT 60% ZERO-EMISSIONSix in ten new city buses registered across the EU in 2025 were zero-emission — 56% battery-electric and 4% fuel cell — a dramatic jump from just 12% when the Clean Vehicles Directive was adopted in 2019. Five member states hit 100% zero-emission city bus sales in 2025 (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia), and Transport & Environment says a fully zero-emission EU city bus market is achievable as early as 2028.MG2 SET FOR 2027 UK LAUNCH AT £20,000MG will enter the electric supermini segment in 2027 with the all-new MG2, targeting a starting price of around £20,000 (~$25,200), to take on rivals including the Renault 5, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the incoming VW ID. Polo. The car will use the newer E3 architecture from the MG4 Urban, run front-wheel drive with a torsion-beam rear axle for cost efficiency, and feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen with physical climate controls — a reveal is expected in the second half of 2026. MG CONFIRMS MGS9 PHEV SEVEN-SEATER FOR UKMG will launch the MGS9 plug-in hybrid SUV in the UK later in 2026 as its new flagship, offering three full adult-sized rows and targeting rivals such as the Peugeot 5008, Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq at a value-led price point. The model already holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating and could reach UK showrooms as early as summer 2026, extending MG's line-up to 11 models. AUSTRALIA NVES DATA SHOWS HYBRIDS DO THE HEAVY LIFTAustralia's National Vehicle Emissions Standard published its first half-year performance data (July–December 2025), showing EVs made up roughly 12% of new vehicles supplied, with about two-thirds of manufacturers — including BYD and Polestar — meeting their fleet-wide emissions targets. Petrol- and hybrid-focused brands such as Mazda and Hyundai fell short and face penalties if they don't improve, while the data reveals that near-term emissions gains are leaning more on efficient hybrids than on full EVs. LECTRON ADAPTERS WIN UL 2252 SAFETY CERTIFICATIONLectron has earned UL 2252 safety certification across its full range of EV charging adapters — covering J3400, CCS1 and J1772 in both AC and DC variants — with its two DC adapters handling up to 500 amps at 1,000 volts for peak power of 500 kW, and built-in thermal sensors that trigger derating if heat rises during fast charging. The certification comes as the North American charging landscape remains split between NACS and CCS1 on DC networks and J1772 on AC infrastructure, making a certified bridging adapter an increasingly essential tool for EV drivers navigating the transition.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University. Nikita: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we started the conversation around the real business value of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and how it helps organizations create impact at scale. Lois: Today, we're taking a closer look at what keeps the value strong — things like security, compliance, and the technology that helps businesses stay resilient. To walk us through it, we have our experts from Oracle University, David Mills, Senior Principal PaaS Instructor, and Tijo Thomas, Principal OCI Instructor. 01:12 Nikita: Hi David and Tijo! It's great to have you both here! Tijo, let's start with you. How does Oracle Cloud Infrastructure help organizations stay secure? Tijo: OCI uses a security first approach to protect customer workloads. This is done with implementing a Zero Trust Model. A Zero Trust security model use frequent user authentication and authorization to protect assets while continuously monitoring for potential breaches. This would assume that no users, no devices, no applications are universally trusted. Continuous verification is always required. Access is granted only based on the context of request, the level of trust, and the sensitivity of that asset. There are three strategic pillars that Oracle security first approach is built on. The first one is being automated. With automation, the business doesn't have to rely on any manual work to stay secure. Threat detection, patching, and compliance checks, all these happen automatically. And that reduces human errors and also saving time. Security in OCI is always turned on. Encryption is automatic. Identity checks are continuous. Security is not an afterthought in OCI. It is incorporated into every single layer. Now, while we talk about Oracle's security first approach, remember security is a shared responsibility, and what that means while Oracle handles the data center, the hardware, the infrastructure, software, consumers are responsible for securing their apps, configurations and the data. 03:06 Lois: Tijo, let's discuss this with an example. Imagine an online store called MuShop. They're a fast-growing business selling cat products. Can you walk us through how a business like this can enhance its end-to-end security and compliance with OCI? Tijo: First of all, focusing on securing web servers. These servers host the web portal where customers would browse, they log in, and place their orders. So these web servers are a prime target for attackers. To protect these entry points, MuShop deployed a service called OCI Web Application Firewall. On top of that, the MuShop business have also used OCI security list and network security groups that will control their traffic flow. As when the businesses grow, new users such as developers, operations, finance, staff would all need to be onboarded. OCI identity services is used to assign roles, for example, giving developers access to only the dev instances, and finance would access just the billing dashboards. MuShop also require MFA multi-factor authentication, and that use both password and a time-based authentication code to verify their identities. Talking about some of the critical customer data like emails, addresses, and the payment info, this data is stored in databases and storage. Using OCI Vault, the data is encrypted with customer managed keys. Oracle Data Safe is another service, and that is used to audit who has got access to sensitive tables, and also mask real customer data in non-production environments. 04:59 Nikita: Once those systems are in place, how can MuShop use OCI tools to detect and respond to threats quickly? Tijo: For that, MuShop used a service called OCI Cloud Guard. Think of it like a security operation center, and which is built right into OCI. It monitors the entire OCI environment continuously, and it can track identity activities, storage settings, network configurations and much more. If it finds something risky, like a publicly exposed object storage bucket, or maybe a user having a broad access to that environment, it raises a security finding. And better yet, it can automatically respond. So if someone creates a resource outside of their policy, OCI Cloud Guard can disable it. 05:48 Lois: And what about preventing misconfigurations? How does OCI make that easier while keeping operations secure? Tijo: OCI Security Zone is another service and that is used to enforce security postures in OCI. The goody zones help you to avoid any accidental misconfigurations. For example, in a security zone, you can choose users not to create a storage bucket that is publicly accessible. To stay ahead of vulnerabilities, MuShop runs OCI vulnerability scanning. They have scheduled to scan weekly to capture any outdated libraries or misconfigurations. OCI Security Advisor is another service that is used to flag any unused open ports and with recommending stronger access rules. MuShop needed more than just security. They also had to be compliant. OCI's compliance certifications have helped them to meet data privacy and security regulations across different regions and industries. There are additional services like OCI audit logs for traceability that help them pass internal and external audits. 07:11 Oracle University is proud to announce three brand new courses that will help your teams unlock the power of Redwood—the next generation design system. Redwood enhances the user experience, boosts efficiency, and ensures consistency across Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. Whether you're a functional lead, configuration consultant, administrator, developer, or IT support analyst, these courses will introduce you to the Redwood philosophy and its business impact. They'll also teach you how to use Visual Builder Studio to personalize and extend your Fusion environment. Get started today by visiting mylearn.oracle.com. 07:52 Nikita: Welcome back! We know that OCI treats security as a continuous design principle: automated, always on, and built right into the platform. David, do you have a real-world example of a company that needed to scale rapidly and was able to do so successfully with OCI? David: In late 2019, Zoom averaged 10 million meeting participants a day. By April 2020, well that number surged to over 300 million as video conferencing became essential for schools, businesses, and families around the world due to the global pandemic. To meet that explosive demand, Zoom chose OCI not just for performance, but for the ability to scale fast. In just nine hours, OCI engineers helped Zoom move from deployment to live production, handling hundreds of thousands of concurrent meetings immediately. Within weeks, they were supporting millions. And Zoom didn't just scale, they sustained it. With OCI's next-gen architecture, Zoom avoided the performance bottlenecks common in legacy clouds. They used OCI functions and cloud native services to scale workloads flexibly and securely. Today, Zoom transfers more than seven petabytes of data per day through Oracle Cloud. That's enough bandwidth to stream HD video continuously for 93 years. And they do it while maintaining high availability, low latency, and enterprise grade security. As articulated by their CEO Erik Yuan, Zoom didn't just meet the moment, they redefined it with OCI behind the scenes. 09:45 Nikita: That's an incredible story about scale and agility. Do you have more examples of companies that turned to OCI to solve complex data or integration challenges? David: Telecom giant KDDI with over 64 million subscribers, faced a growing data dilemma. Data was everywhere. Survey results, system logs, behavioral analytics, but it was scattered across thousands of sources. Different tools for different tasks created silos, delays, and rising costs. KDDI needed a single platform to connect it all, and they chose Oracle. They replaced their legacy data systems with a modern data platform built on OCI and Autonomous Database. Now they can analyze behavior, improve service planning, and make faster, smarter decisions without the data chaos. But KDDI didn't stop there. They built a 300 terabyte data lake and connected all their systems-- custom on-prem apps, SaaS providers like Salesforce, and even multi-cloud infrastructure. Thanks to Oracle Integration and pre-built adapters, everything works together in real-time, even across clouds. AWS, Azure, and OCI now operate in harmony. The results? Reduced operational costs, faster development cycles, governance and API access improved across the board. KDDI can now analyze customer behavior to improve services like where to expand their 5G network. Next up, 8 by 8 powers communication for over 55,000 companies and 160 countries with more than 3 million users, depending on its voice, video, and messaging tools every day. To maintain that scale, they needed a cloud that could deliver low latency global availability and high performance without blowing up costs. Well, they moved their video meeting services from Amazon to OCI and went live in just four days. The results? 25% increase in performance per node, 80% reduction in network egress costs, and a significantly lower overall infrastructure spend. But this wasn't just a lift and shift. 8 by 8 also replaced legacy tools with Oracle Logging Analytics, giving their teams a single view across apps, infrastructure, and regions. 8 by 8 scaled up fast. They migrated core voice services, deployed over 300 microservices using OCI Kubernetes, and now run over 1,700 nodes across 26 global OCI regions. In addition, OCI's Ampere-based virtual machines gave them a major boost, sustaining 80% CPU utilization and more than 30% increased performance per core and with no degradation. And with OCI's Observability and Management platform, they gained real-time visibility into application health across both on-prem and cloud. Bottom line, 8x8 represents yet another excellent example of a company leveraging OCI for maximum business results. 13:24 Lois: Uber handles more than a million trips per hour, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is an integral part of making that possible. Can you walk us through how OCI supports Uber's needs? David: Uber, the world's largest on-demand mobility platform, handles over 1 million trips every hour. And behind the scenes, OCI is helping to make that possible. In 2023, Uber began migrating thousands of microservices, data platforms, and AI models to OCI. Why? Because OCI provides the automation, flexibility, and infrastructure scale needed to support Uber's explosive growth. Today, Uber uses OCI Compute to handle massive trips serving traffic and OCI Object Storage to replace one of the largest Hadoop-based data environments in the industry. They needed global reach and multi-cloud compatibility, and OCI delivered. But it's not just scale, it's intelligence. Uber runs dozens of AI models on OCI to support real-time predictions up 14 million per second. From ride pricing to traffic patterns, this AI layer powers every trip behind the scenes. And by shifting stateless workloads to OCI Ampere ARM Compute servers, Uber reduced cost while increasing CPU efficiency. For AI inferencing, Uber uses OCI's AI infrastructure to strike the perfect balance between speed, throughput, and cost. So the next time you use your Uber app to schedule a ride, consider what happens behind the scenes with OCI. 15:18 Lois: That's so impressive! Thank you, David, for those wonderful stories, and Tijo for all of your insights. Whether you're in strategy, finance, or transformation, we hope you're walking away with a clearer view of the business value OCI can bring.

Et si la prochaine grande avancée de Renault venait… du laboratoire ? Le constructeur français, via sa filiale Ampere, s'associe à la start-up américaine Stratus Materials pour développer une nouvelle génération de batteries baptisée LXMO, pour Lithium X Manganese Oxide. Une technologie prometteuse, qui pourrait bien changer la donne dans la course à la mobilité électrique.Le cœur de cette innovation repose sur un choix chimique audacieux : remplacer le cobalt par du manganèse. Le cobalt, aujourd'hui omniprésent dans les batteries, reste un métal controversé. 80 % de sa production mondiale provient de République démocratique du Congo, où les conditions d'extraction sont souvent pointées du doigt : travail artisanal, exploitation d'enfants, pollution des sols et des eaux. En s'affranchissant de ce matériau, Renault ne se contente donc pas de réduire ses coûts — il répond à un enjeu éthique et géopolitique majeur.Le manganèse, lui, est plus abondant, moins coûteux et surtout présent en Europe. Miser sur cet élément, c'est renforcer la souveraineté industrielle européenne, tout en diminuant la dépendance à la Chine. Selon Ampere, les batteries LXMO combineraient le meilleur des deux mondes : la densité énergétique des modèles NMC (nickel-manganèse-cobalt) et la stabilité thermique des batteries LFP (lithium-fer-phosphate). Résultat attendu : plus d'autonomie, moins de risques d'incendie et des coûts maîtrisés. Les premières estimations évoquent même une densité énergétique « jusqu'à deux fois supérieure » aux packs actuels. Les premiers prototypes seront testés au Battery Cell Innovation Lab d'Ampere, inauguré à Lardy, dans l'Essonne. L'objectif : vérifier la viabilité industrielle de cette chimie avant un passage à la production. « Ces cathodes offrent un équilibre rare entre performance, coût, sécurité et durée de vie », assure Nicolas Racquet, vice-président ingénierie d'Ampere. Encore au stade expérimental, cette batterie sans cobalt pourrait équiper demain les futures Mégane, Scénic ou Twingo électriques. Renault trace donc une nouvelle voie : celle d'une batterie européenne, éthique et durable. Un pari audacieux, mais essentiel pour rester dans la course à l'innovation électrique. Hébergé par Acast.

Damit das Laden nicht den ganzen Tag dauert, gibts das Megawatt Charging System (MCS): mit einer Leistung bis zu 3,75 Megawatt, Spannungen bis zu 1250 Volt und einer Stromstärke bis zu 3000 Ampere. Und richtig dicke Leitungen. Deutlich weniger braucht der Kleinbus Kia PV5, der mit einem Einstiegspreis von unter 40.000 Euro dem VW ID. Buzz Feuer unterm Heck machen soll. Der neue Apple SoC M5 macht natürlich alles besser als der Vorgänger - 15 Prozent höhere Multithreading-Performance, GPU 2,5 Mal so schnell wie der M1 - und kommt auch in der neuen Vision Pro zum Einsatz. Die bietet längere Laufzeit, 120 Hz anstelle von 100 Hz pro Auge, wird dabei aber auch deutlich schwerer und erstaunlicherweise auch etwa 300 Euro günstiger. Die Kooperation von Asus und Microsoft bzw. Xbox, das ROG Xbox Ally (X) ist von zahlreichen Outlets getestet und auf dem Markt! Die Kurzfassung: Das Xbox Ally ohne X hat nicht nur den gleichen alten SoC wie das Steam Deck, sondern erwartbar auch die gleiche Leistung, nur eben mit Windows. Das "X" markiert die Stelle, an der man das Geld investieren sollte, wenn es auch spürbar mehr Performance sein soll. Viel Spaß mit Folge 278!

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la salida de Luca de Meo de Renault. El italiano deja el grupo francés después de cinco años. Lo deja de forma voluntaria y desempeñará el cargo hasta el próximo 15 de julio. De Meo asegura que “busca nuevos retos fuera del sector de la automoción". Y es que ante todo, el empresario siempre ha sido un amante del motor, con experiencia en marcas como Toyota, Fiat o Seat. Solo hace un mes presentó su libro Diccionario sentimental del automóvil. Esos nuevos retos podrían llevarle hasta Kering, según Le Figaro. La marca de lujo francesa, que engloba firmas de renombre como Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent o Balenciaga se ha fijado en el buen hacer del ejecutivo en Renault, donde cogió las riendas en un momento muy pero que muy difícil. El 1 de julio de 2020 asumió el cargo de CEO de Renault. El fabricante automovilístico registró una pérdida neta de más de 8 mil millones de euros ese mismo año. Sus ingresos cayeron entonces casi la mitad. Fue entonces cuando De Meo se puso manos a la obra y presentó el plan “Renaulution”: Resurrección, Renovación y Revolución. En la primera fase la marca pretendía hacer un plan de recortes ambicioso en tres años: ya en 2022, la compañía logró reducir estas pérdidas en más de 2.000 millones de euros. En las fases de Renovación y Revolución la marca iba a apostar por la innovación tecnológica, la reestructuración de la marca y la incorporación de nuevos modelos. En noviembre de 2022 la marca crea las marcas Ampere y Power para desarrollar hardware y así reducir su dependencia de China. Además, lanza al mercado los modelos Twingo eléctrico de 20.000 euros y el Renault 5 E-Tech. Otra de las misiones que tenía el ejecutivo italiano era cambiar la alianza con Nissan. De las múltiples tensiones que muchas veces amenazaron con romper dicha alianza se pasó a una relación más calmada. De hecho, la salida de De Meo ha provocado que la marca japonesa vaya a reducir su participación en Renault, como ha asegurado su CEO, Iván Espinosa. Hasta aquí llega la influencia de De Meo, que ahora tiene la difícil tarea de devolver los días de gloria a Kering, después de que sus acciones hayan perdido el 80% de su valor desde 2021. Sabemos que De Meo se va a Kering pero ¿quién le sustituirá en Renault? Parece que el mercado mira a dos muy posibles: Wayne Griffiths, que dejó el cargo de director ejecutivo de Seat en marzo y que ya negoció con el presidente de Stellantis, John Elkann, para ser el CEO del grupo y Josep Maria Recasens, actual CEO de Ampere, filial de coches eléctricos de Renault, división que le ha dado grandes resultados al fabricante automovilístico.
In today's Daily Fix:Grand Theft Auto 6's delay disappointed a lot of gamers, but probably disappointed retailers even more. Analysts at Ampere are suggesting that the delay will cost the games industry around $2.7 billion dollars. The money isn't gone, however, merely moved to next year when GTA 6 drops on May 26. Speaking of that date, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is confident that Rockstar Games can hit that date. Let's hope so—there's $2.7 billion riding on it. And finally, Nintendo will make a return to the Gamescom show in Germany this year. Nintendo skipped last year's show, but with a new console and a handful of brand new first-party games coming this year, they have plenty to show off.

NEW CAR REGISTRATION FIGURES MARCH 2025The March 2025 new car registration figures have been revealed by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). They show an increase that you have to go back to 2019, to find bettered. Electric vehicles, unsurprisingly, increased as buyers tried to avoid the new VED and luxury car tax. Private, on the one hand, had a surprising jump but then not when thinking about the tax changes. This is expected to be a bit of a one off month, with the numbers next month being a lot lower. Click this link to read more, from SMMT's own article. UK GOVERNMENT TINKERS WITH ZEV The UK Government has announced changes to the requirements of the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate. These add up to tinkering. Finally, we get a decision on hybrid vehicles post 2030, where they will still be sold. Small manufacturers will be exempt from the requirements. All OEMs will be given more flexibility in achieving the required target rates, with the CO2 credit transfer system remaining in place until 2029. In reality though, as we continue to be in a cost of living crisis and vehicles are too expensive, trying to mandate a market will remain difficult.

CAR BRANDS AND TRADE BODY FINED BY CMATen car companies and the SMMT have been fined by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for agreeing to not compete with each other when advertising the amount of recycling that could be achieved with their cars. Additionally, the second charge was for anticompetitive practices when it came to recycling end of life vehicles. Following an admission to this, they are to pay £77 million in fines. In Europe a similar investigation has found 15 brands guilty and they will pay £382.7 million, as a consequence. To find out more, click this Autocar link here.

US equity futures are higher after Wednesday's gains. European markets opened little changed, and Asian equities ended mixed. Markets reacted positively to a dovish-leaning Fed policy decision. The Fed kept rates unchanged and signaled greater uncertainty around the economic outlook, driven largely by ongoing tariff concerns. Although policymakers downgraded the US GDP growth outlook and raised inflation forecasts, Chair Powell indicated that tariff-driven inflation pressures may be temporary. The Fed also decided to slow the pace of quantitative tightening starting April 1st. Elsewhere, Ukraine's President Zelenskiy voiced support for a ceasefire focused on energy infrastructure during discussions with President Trump, with both sides agreeing to collaborate on air defense systems and Ukraine's electricity supply.Companies Mentioned: SoftBank, Ampere, Carlyle, Oracle, Beacon Roofing Supply, QXO, NVIDIA, Intel

Jeff Wittich Ampere is making waves in the telecom industry by unveiling its Ampere® Altra family of processors, engineered to deliver high performance while slashing power consumption—a dual imperative for next-generation 5G, edge computing, and AI workloads. In a press release released this morning, the company detailed its ambitious push into the telecom market, and during a live interview with Technology Reseller News' publisher Doug Green, Chief Product Officer Jeff Wittich shed further light on the innovation behind the new offering. A Cloud-Originated Innovation Now Heading to Telecom Historically recognized as a cloud and CPU company, Ampere has spent the past seven years perfecting processors that can do more with less. “We started in the cloud, where power constraints became a major challenge with rising workloads like AI,” explained Wittich during the podcast. “The problems we solved in the cloud—delivering high performance with low power—are the same issues facing telecom operators today.” Ampere's approach diverges sharply from conventional methods that simply add power to boost performance. Instead, the Ampere Altra family was designed from the ground up to optimize energy efficiency without sacrificing computing muscle. This unique balance is increasingly critical as telecom networks evolve to support not only traditional voice and data but also a burgeoning array of AI-driven applications. The Shift to ARM and the Ecosystem Play One of the standout features of Ampere's new processors is their ARM-based architecture. As industries shift away from x86 solutions—a trend already evident in smartphones, edge devices, and cloud servers—the telecom market is now poised to benefit from the enhanced efficiency and scalability that ARM-based designs offer. The press release highlighted several key partnerships that underpin Ampere's strategy. Collaborations with industry players such as Parallel Wireless, SUSE, Canonical, SynaXG, Fujitsu, and Supermicro are setting the stage for robust, scalable telecom solutions. Parallel Wireless, for example, is leveraging Ampere's processors in its GreenRAN™ platform—a hardware-agnostic, cloud-native radio access network solution that supports 2G, 4G, and 5G technologies. “By combining our energy-efficient processors with innovative partners, we're able to tap into new customer segments like telco carriers,” Wittich noted. “This collaboration not only optimizes performance but also significantly reduces operational costs and environmental impact.” Lower Power, Higher Performance—and a Greener Future At the heart of this breakthrough is Ampere's innovative CPU design. As Wittich emphasized, “The CPU really is the star here. That is really where the innovation is coming from.” This chip not only delivers several times more tokens per second for AI workloads but also operates within an impressively low power envelope—sometimes as low as 40 watts. Such efficiency means these processors can run without active cooling, significantly reducing both operational costs and the environmental impact associated with high-powered data centers. A Timely Announcement As the telecom industry braces for rapid expansion in 5G and AI-driven services, Ampere's announcement arrives at a critical juncture. With its comprehensive ecosystem of hardware and software partners, the company is poised to lead the transformation toward more energy-efficient, high-performing network infrastructures. For those looking to dive deeper into Ampere's solutions, additional details are available on the company's website, amperecomputing.com, where information spans from cloud applications to cutting-edge telecom stacks. With both the press release and this live discussion underscoring its innovative approach, Ampere is set to make a significant impact on the telecom landscape—delivering the power, efficiency, and sustainability that modern networks demand.

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: WARNING! If you don't want to hear Terence talking about his Timewave idea yet again, then you should skip this podcast. In this recording, Terence McKenna introduces a concept he humorously names the "Habit Reflex Increment" (HRI). He discusses the need for a unit to measure habit, reflecting on the significance of such a concept in understanding human behavior. McKenna jokes about not naming the unit after himself, contrasting his name with those of renowned scientists like Ohm or Ampere, which he finds more fitting for scientific terms. He then shifts his focus to a broader philosophical reflection, asserting that the struggle humanity faces is not eternal. He conveys an optimistic message, declaring that "novelty is winning." According to McKenna, the emergence of new ideas and innovations will ultimately prevail, bringing positive transformation and progress. Of course, you will have to listen to many more little details about the Timewave than a lot of people can put up with.
