Cisco launches AI-optimized Silicon One chip to outpace peers in data-center networking

Cisco unveiled the Silicon One G300 switch chip, built on TSMC’s 3‑nm process, with “shock absorber” features to reroute data in microseconds and speed AI training/inference across massive data centers by about 28%. Slated for sale in the second half of 2026, the chip aims to win share in the AI infrastructure market by competing with Broadcom’s Tomahawk and Nvidia’s networking offerings amid a roughly $600 billion AI-spend boom.

iPhone 18 Pro Rumors Preview Major Camera, Chip, and Design Upgrades

Macworld outlines five iPhone 18 Pro rumors: Camera Control 2.0 with pressure-based input; a variable-aperture lens for more creative control; a refined exterior with new color options and a better-looking back glass; a transition from a 3nm to 2nm process enabling an A20 Pro chip plus a power-saving C2 modem; and a smaller display cutout achieved by moving some Face ID sensors under the display—together promising sharper photography, better performance and longer battery life, and a more mature aesthetic.

The $250 Million Machine Fueling the AI Chip Boom

ASML’s extreme ultraviolet lithography machines — giant, $250 million systems that print ultra-dense chip circuitry — are central to making the AI chips powering data centers and Nvidia’s products. The machines use tin droplets, powerful lasers, and Zeiss mirrors to pattern silicon wafers at 13 nanometers, and are delivered from the Netherlands to major fabs including TSMC, Samsung, SK Hynix, Intel, Micron and Rapidus. ASML shipped 44 EUV systems last year and expects a surge in demand for 2026–27 as AI and cloud infrastructure expand.

Updates on the Mac Pro

Apple has not updated the Mac Pro since 2023 and is unlikely to do so in 2026, favoring the Mac Studio with its newer M3 Ultra chip and expanded capabilities. The Mac Studio is increasingly replacing the Mac Pro for most users, with only high-end professionals needing the expansion slots offered by the Mac Pro. Apple seems to be shifting focus away from the Mac Pro line, possibly discontinuing it in the future, while continuing to sell the current M2 Ultra version.
