Can data centers rethink compute balance to survive the surging overhead of autonomous AI agents?
On this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke break down AMD’s new rack-scale Helion architecture re-centering enterprise compute around CPUs, and IonQ’s $1.3B acquisition of Elisity to fuse Zero Trust microsegmentation with post-quantum cryptography.
They also examine Microsoft’s agent-focused Decision-1 model, a silent Intel IPv6 glitch breaking major cloud connections, Cloudflare absorbing the Deno team to overhaul self-hosted Workers, identifAI’s alarming $40B deepfake fraud report, and Meta’s frontier Wonder AI models.
This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.
