Pittsburgh – October 07, 2026 -- NovoLINC's MaxLINC thermal interface material has sustained 400 W/cm2 uniform heat flux and 3,300 W of total power on a production-representative silicon test die carrying roughly 150 μm of warpage, keeping junction temperatures below 90°C throughout the test.

MaxLINC maintains sub-90°C junction temperatures despite 150 μm die warpage

The demonstration used a single-phase direct liquid cooling cold plate from CoolIT, an Ecolab Company. As AI packages grow larger and power-denser, even minor flatness deviations create uneven contact between semiconductor and cooling hardware, raising thermal resistance and risking localized hot spots. NovoLINC's nanostructured composite architecture is designed to preserve thermal contact despite such non-flat surfaces.

Houston – October 07, 2026 -- Works360 has launched PLAiPulseTM, a new experience intelligence technology that lets customers watch CPU, GPU and NPU activity in real time while evaluating AI PCs with their own applications and workflows.

Works360 rolls out PLAiPulse across evaluation programs for Intel and Qualcomm-based AI PCs

The initial deployment covers eligible systems powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series platforms, plus select Microsoft Surface evaluation programs distributed through Works360. The technology is also extending to select Intel-based AI PC evaluation programs in Australia and New Zealand.

San Jose, Calif. – – October 06, 2026 -- AEWIN Technologies, a unit of Qisda Group, will unveil a modular DC-MHS server lineup capable of supporting rack densities above 200kW using two-phase direct liquid cooling (2P DLC) technology from subsidiary Arivor at the OCP Global Summit 2026, running October 12–15 at Booth #D9.

New servers run AMD EPYC 9006 CPUs with PCIe Gen6 connectivity

The portfolio is built on AMD EPYC 9006 series server processors paired with PCIe Gen6 connectivity to address rising compute-density requirements in AI data centers. AEWIN positions the lineup to reduce power usage effectiveness (PUE) while extending hardware lifespan under sustained high-load conditions.

Newport Township, Pa. – October 06, 2026 -- Fit Energy has secured zoning approval to convert a former mining and quarry site in Newport Township, Luzerne County, into a fuel cell power generation and data center complex, with engineering and permitting now underway ahead of construction.

Township commissioners approved zoning for both uses in August 2026

The approval clears the way for Fit Energy to redevelop previously disturbed industrial land rather than greenfield forest or farmland. Natural gas fuel cells supplied by Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy, Inc. will generate on-site power under a strategic agreement with Fit Energy, producing electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion.

London – – October 06, 2026 -- Nscale Limited has appointed Amy Banse, a 30-year corporate governance veteran, to its Board of Directors, naming her Chair of the Compensation Committee.

Banse brings multi-board credentials from Adobe, Lennar and On Holding AG

Banse currently sits on the boards of Adobe, Lennar Corporation and On Holding AG, and previously served on the board of The Clorox Company. She has also held board seats at high-growth, pre-IPO firms including Nextdoor, Anchor and Quantifind.

Nscale CEO ties the hire to the company's scaling infrastructure ambitions

"As we scale, the quality of our governance matters as much as the quality of our infrastructure," said Josh Payne, Founder and CEO of Nscale. Payne said Banse's board experience arrives at a "pivotal moment" for the company.

Singapore – – October 06, 2026 -- DayOne Data Centers Limited has filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering of American Depositary Shares representing its ordinary shares.

DayOne targets Nasdaq listing under ticker DODC

The Singapore-headquartered digital infrastructure operator has applied to list its ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, and Citigroup have been named as underwriters for the offering.

Size and pricing remain undisclosed

The number of ADSs to be offered and the proposed price range have not yet been determined. The offering will proceed only once the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, and will be made solely via a prospectus.

Arlington, Va. – October 05, 2026 -- Info-Tech Research Group has released a new blueprint, Define Your Target AI Infrastructure, aimed at helping enterprises stop overspending on compute hardware by aligning infrastructure design with actual AI workload demands.

Enterprises overbuy compute instead of fixing utilization

Info-Tech's analysis finds that organizations experiencing AI performance issues -- including slow model training and reduced throughput -- typically respond by acquiring additional compute resources, driving up IT costs. The firm argues that greater long-term value comes from maximizing utilization of existing infrastructure and matching architecture decisions to workload requirements rather than adding hardware.

Beijing – October 05, 2026 -- Datasea Intelligent Technology Ltd. (Nasdaq: DTSS) narrowed its net loss by 57.0% to approximately $2.19 million in fiscal year 2026, as operating cash flow turned positive at approximately $1.98 million, the company reported for the year ended June 30, 2026.

Revenue fell 43.17% to $40.70 million as Datasea cut lower-margin digital services

Revenue declined to approximately $40.70 million from $71.62 million in fiscal 2025, a drop the company attributed to a deliberate reduction of standardized, lower-margin AI multimodal and traffic-related services under a business-mix optimization strategy.

Covington, Ky. – October 05, 2026 -- Promevo has launched Insights by Promevo, a platform it says is the first to unify AI agent governance, Gemini Enterprise adoption tracking, and Google Cloud cost management into a single view. The company, a Google Cloud Partner known for its gPanel software, built the tool to close visibility gaps that native Google consoles cannot address, including their 28-day data lookback limit.

Platform tracks license waste, agent permissions, and cloud spend in one view

Insights by Promevo delivers real-time observability across three areas: AI license optimization, AI agent governance and security, and AI cost attribution. The platform automatically identifies idle or underutilized licenses and quantifies reclaimable spend. It also builds a complete inventory of custom-built AI agents, mapping their permissions and data access so IT teams can enforce least-privilege security policies.

Palo Alto, Calif. – October 05, 2026 -- Clockwork.io has raised $31 million in new funding and secured production deployments at LinkedIn and Together AI, bringing its total funding to $73 million as enterprises seek to curb GPU downtime during large-scale AI training.

LinkedIn prevents tens of thousands of GPU-hours of downtime monthly

LinkedIn has deployed Clockwork.io's LinkPass network fault-tolerance software across its AI infrastructure fleet. Raghu Hiremagalur, SVP, CTO Infrastructure at LinkedIn, said a single InfiniBand NIC flap previously could remove an eight-GPU server from service, while a switch port flap could double the impact to 16 GPUs. LinkPass now automatically reroutes traffic onto healthy paths, letting jobs continue uninterrupted while faults are repaired.
