1PB SSDs closer with new NAND tech; AI agents reshape data center needs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

New advancements in QLC NAND technology by Kioxia and SanDisk are bringing the possibility of 1PB SSDs closer to reality, though significant engineering challenges remain. Separately, the increasing CPU demands of AI agents, driven by tasks like code execution and tool calls, are prompting a re-evaluation of traditional CPU-to-GPU ratios in data centers, suggesting that infrastructure should be sized based on actual compute, memory, and latency needs rather than a fixed ratio. AI

IMPACT AI agents are driving demand for more flexible data center infrastructure, moving beyond fixed CPU-GPU ratios to accommodate variable compute needs.

RANK_REASON The cluster discusses advancements in storage technology and AI infrastructure needs, which are supporting technologies rather than core AI releases or significant industry shifts.

    AI agents can create significant CPU workloads through code execution, tool calls, database searches, and orchestration. But that doesn’t necessarily mean data centers need a 1:1 CPU-to-GPU ratio. The key issue is workload variability. Instead of counting CPUs versus GPUs, infras…
