Tommy Lee Walker - stock.adobe.cNewsHyperscale datacentre capacities continue to rise off back of AI boomMarket data from Synergy Research Group confirms that artificial intelligence is fuelling growth of datacentres in both number and capacity termsByCaroline Donnelly,Senior Editor, UKPublished: 20 Mar 2025 13:06 Hyperscale datacentres are increasing in capacity faster than number as operators push to meet the growing demand for compute capacity required by artificial intelligence (AI) workloads by building increasingly bigger facilities.Data from market watcher Synergy Research Group confirms there are now 1,136 hyperscale datacentres in operation around the globe, as of the end of 2024, which is double the number that existed five years ago.In addition, Synergy said its pipeline data shows there are at least a further 504 datacentres in the process of being planned, built and fitted out.The companys figures are based on an analysis of the datacentre footprint of 19 of the worlds largest cloud and internet service firms, including the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Tencent and ByteDance, to name a few.Meanwhile, the market watchers data shows it has taken less than four years for the total capacity of operational hyperscale datacentres to double in size, as the average size of facilities continues to grow.Looking ahead, Synergy forecasts that it will take less than four years for the total hyperscale datacentre capacity to double once again, said the analyst house, in a research note.Each year will see a reasonably steady 130-140 additional hyperscale datacentres coming online, but overall capacity growth will be driven more by the ever-larger scale of those newly opened datacentres [and] generative AI technology is the prime reason for that increased scale.More than half (54%) of the worlds hyperscale datacentre capacity is sited in the US, Synergys research shows, with Europe and China accounting for 15% and 16%, respectively.Its data also confirms that Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft and Google have the broadest datacentre footprint of all the providers tracked by Synergy, with each having a sizeable datacentre presence in the US and Europe.Collectively, these three companies account for 59% of all hyperscale datacentre capacity around the world, followed by Facebook parent Meta, Alibaba, Tencent, Apple and TikTok owner ByteDance.John Dinsdale, chief analyst at Synergy Research Group, said the demand for artificial intelligence workloads has had a transformative impact on datacentre capacity growth patterns.The big difference now is the increased scale of many of those new datacentres, he said.Historically, the average size of new datacentres was increasing gradually, but this trend has become supercharged in the last few quarters as companies build out AI-oriented infrastructure.While compiling its data, Dinsdale said the company discarded data pertaining to smaller points of presence that some operators like to claim are cloud datacentres and also discounted marketing-orientated claims that discuss potential builds to get an accurate picture of the state of the market.The resulting actual numbers show new datacentres that are a mix of owned versus leased, home country versus international, and large versus super-large, but in aggregate, the trend towards increased size is very clear, he said.It is also very clear that the US will continue to dwarf all other countries and regions as the main home for hyperscale infrastructure.Read more about datacentre growth trendsResearch report, featuring input from datacentre market stakeholders and sociological experts, makes case for socially integrating server farms into society.The UK government has unveiled its 50-point AI action plan, which commits to building sovereign artificial intelligence capabilities and accelerating AI datacentre developments - but questions remain about the viability of the plans.The government is inviting feedback on its plans to rejig the UK planning systemto make it more supportive of datacentre developments.In The Current Issue:UK government under-prepared for catastrophic cyber attack, hears PACSpace and power constrain datacentre planningDownload Current IssueSLM series - Qodea: A jumpstart for multi-model AI strategies CW Developer NetworkAn agentic AI reality check Cliff Saran's Enterprise blogView All Blogs

Bluetti AC70 power station. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETZDNET's key takeawaysThe Bluetti AC70 is a portable power station that won't break your back (or the bank, as it's on sale for $429 using the coupon on Amazon).It's a powerful unit, capable of 1,000W output for regular loads, increasing to 2,000W for resistive loads, such as heaters and hair dryers.You'll need the companion app to access more advanced features.Thanks to Amazon's Big Spring Sale and a limited-time deal, the Bluetti AC70 is $360, $240 off the original price.Portable battery packs have revolutionized power. Forget noisy, smelly gasoline generators or trailing extension cables; these packs are a convenient way to carry power on the go. Also: My everyday Anker power bank has a genius feature that makes it irreplaceablePower stations come in all shapes and sizes, from small devices that can easily fit into a backpack to large units that must be transported on wheels. I prefer something in the middle -- a power station that's big enough to power heavy loads for extended periods but small enough to be easily carried around.Over the past few months, I've been testing theBluetti AC70, a portable power station with enough power to easily handle energy-intensive devices, such as hairdryers, electric kettles, and heaters. details View at Amazon Bluetti AC70 featuresPower: 1,000W Rated Power/2,000W Lifting PowerCapacity: 768Wh AC Charging: 950W Turbo charging, 45 minutes to 80%Solar Charging: 500W Fast solar charge, fully charged in two hoursOutputs: AC: 2120V/8.33A, 1,000W in total | USB-C: 2 100W max | USB-A: 2 5VDC/2.4A 12W in total | 12V DC: 1 12V/10ABattery: LiFePO, rated for 3,000+ charge cyclesApp: Smart remote control via BLUETTI appUPS reaction time: 20msWeight: About 22.5lbs/10.2kgDimensions: 12.4 8.2 10.1-inches / 314 209.5 255.8mmWarranty: Five yearsWhen testing a power station for a review, there are a few key aspects I examine.First, I verify that the device lives up to the claims made on its spec sheet, which, for power stations, includes the battery capacity and the loads the device can handle. I'm also keen to see how the power station copes with loads exceeding its rated capacity, looking for it to shut down gracefully rather than spit, spark, and make a ruckus.The AC70 passed all my tests with flying colors. It's a well-made, well-engineered unit that delivers exactly what it promises.I am particularly impressed by the device's longevity design. Bluetti has incorporated LiFePO (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries into this power station, which are renowned for their durability. The cells in this unit are rated for 3,000 recharge cycles before they need to be replaced, significantly outperforming the typical 500 to 800 recharge cycles of standard Lithium-Ion batteries.Also: The best portable power stationsThe unit can be charged from an AC outlet, solar panels, or a vehicle's 12V outlet. The front of the AC70 is simple yet functional, with an easy-to-read display and only three buttons. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETSafety, particularly with regard to heat management, is a primary concern. While most power stations handle heat well, some are hot garbage. I expect the power stations from a premium brand like Bluetti to be free from safety concerns, and the AC70 did not disappoint.Durability is also a crucial aspect of my testing. Despite the challenges in standardizing real-world testing, I expose all power stations to rigorous conditions over several weeks. This rigorous testing includes extensive use, transportation in cars and trucks, and deliberate drops onto hard surfaces to evaluate durability.Also: The Jackery Explorer 1000 is one of the best portable power stationsI'm particularly concerned about the unit's overall integrity. I'm not looking to deliberately break the pack, but I want to know if bits of plastic or components with part numbers on them come loose and start rattling inside the device.Once again, the AC70 excelled, passing all durability tests. Despite weighing in at almost 23 lbs, the built-in molded handle is comfortable enough for carrying the unit for extended periods. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETFinally, there's usability. I look for controls that are easy to use, accompanied by a display that shows all the necessary information without being cluttered or confusing. The AC70 excels in this area as well. Its bright and clear display, complemented by just three backlit buttons, perfectly balances simplicity and functionality.Also: One of the most reliable power banks I've tested is also one of the most affordableFor me, the AC70 is the perfect "Goldilocks" power station. While I own larger units, ideal for powering substantial off-grid setups, and smaller ones, suited for day trips, the AC70 strikes the ideal balance. It's sufficiently portable for easy transportation but has enough capacity to meet the needs of a small group for several days. I've relied on the power station to charge my smartphone, cameras, drones, and laptops efficiently. Bluetti AC70 charging in the car. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETThe AC70's versatility is notably enhanced by its wide array of charging options, which include AC input, solar, and 12V DC. I've found that charging the station from a car's 12V outlet is particularly efficient for keeping the unit charged, as long as you avoid letting the battery drain too much. This feature ensures the pack doesn't require an extensive recharge period, which could be inconvenient during travel.Additionally, Bluetti offers an app for controlling the advanced features of its power stations, such as adjusting the charging speed or enabling eco mode. While I prefer the tactile feedback of physical buttons, which is a nod to my old-fashioned preferences, I acknowledge the appeal and convenience that smartphone control brings to many users.ZDNET's buying adviceGiven the high cost of power stations, the significant amount of power they store, and the dire consequences of battery malfunctions, I strongly advise investing in a high-quality unit. My experiences with substandard products from obscure brands have underscored the importance of choosing power stations from premium, well-established brands.Also: This power station has an irreplaceable emergency featureBluetti stands out as one of these reputable brands, and the AC70 exemplifies its commitment to quality. Given its performance and portability, I can see this power station accompanying me on many adventures during 2024 and beyond. When will this deal expire?

Spring is on the way, and the warmer weather might invite you to get out and get healthy after a cold winter inside. Whether you're dialing into your fitness routine or interested in learning more about your activity patterns, a health tracker can uncover the details of your activity throughout the day, week, and month. I use my fitness tracker to record my workouts and keep track of my daily step counts, and it's been a major motivator for showing up to the gym or getting myself out the door on long runs.While the price of some of these trackers can be high, Amazon's incoming Big Spring Sale, which the retailer confirmedkicks off next week, will help with that.

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Current price: $250Original price: $300The older generation Oura Ring 3 and the new Oura Ring 4 have a few things in common and a few differences. Both rings have the same app software, so whether you're using the 3 or the 4, you'll get the same data display. The differences come out with comfort and battery life. The Oura Ring 3 has sensors that protrude from the ring's interior, while the Oura Ring 4 has flat sensors that you can't feel as you put the ring on your finger. If you don't mind the feeling of the sensors, I'd recommend the 3 over the 4, since it's cheaper. The Oura Ring 4 gets eight days of battery life, while the Oura Ring 3 gets seven.Select finishes and sizes of the Oura Ring 3 are on sale right now, and you could take up to $100 off on the more expensive finishes, like the rose gold.

As someone who runs outside and works out in a gym, I've found that these are ideal for both environments. The Nothing Ear Open is an open earbud, so the speakers hang right outside my ear canal to deliver music. That keeps me aware of my surroundings, whether I'm running miles on a busy New York City street, or lifting weights at my gym. They hang comfortably and stay put in my ears as I lay on the lifting bench (unlike regular earbuds, which annoyingly fall out as I move through my sets and reps), and while I run I don't have to worry about them loosening from my ears and dropping on the pavement. The earbuds get surprisingly loud and have a 30-hour battery life to last you for at least a week of workouts.

InvincibleAmazonWell, normally we would be watching a new episode of Invincible this week, but after an all-time great season 3 finale a week ago, weve got nothing (except the Severance finale tonight).Amazon believes this is the perfect time to announce what we all knew was coming, Invincible is not just returning for season 4 (announced this past July) but its now confirmed it will be out in a specific year. With that announcement comes a lot of new information, including strong clues about its release date.The announcement says that Invincible will be out some time in 2026. That correlates with Robert Kirkman saying he wants to aim for the gap to be the length between seasons 2 and 3, not the much longer 1 and 2. If thats true, Season 2 ended on April 4, 2024, and season 3 began on February 6, 2025, which is actually less than a year, nine months, to be precise. So if its 2026 in theory, that could be as early as January, given that this season just ended in mid-March.Second, its been announced that voicework is already done for season 4. Voicework was indeed done for season 3 well before release, as its animation that takes the longest, but in this case, this means voicework is done just as season 3 ended, or even before, giving more evidence for a speedy pace. All in all, at most, this seems like its going to be a year or so until season 4 is live.Related to voice acting, famed Viltrumite villain who will appear in season 4, Thragg, has already been cast, no doubt by some sort of big celebrity as I mean, youd expect nothing else from this show. It would be sort of funny if Kirkman finally convinced Bryan Cranston, the only actor who has ever turned him down, to finally do it, but who knows. It could be someone Kirkman pulls from The Walking Dead like he has for Steven Yeun and now Jeffrey Dean Morgan who was Conquest. Andrew Lincoln Thragg? Norman Reedus Thragg? Who knows. Do not Google him, even looking at him is a spoiler.The announcement says the season will likely feature a new storyline about Darkblood, teased in the post-credits scene but something that isnt actually in the comics, meaning that for once, those readers wouldnt be ahead of show-watchers. Given the tease, its almost certainly going to happen. And I mean, voicework is done, right?So, all good news here, and no massive wait for season 4. Looking forward to it.Follow me , and .Pick up my sci-fi novels the and

Destiny 2BungieWhat is up guys, its your boy Rick Kackis andokay its not actually Rick Kackis, but I am going to spotlight a build he made that is one of the funniest Ive seen in Destiny 2, and has proven to be controversial given its playstyle.Watch his video here, or below, but Ill do a rundown of how exactly this works, and why its so effective in high end content. Here is also the full build with every piece on Mobalytics.The idea here is an Arc Titan build that effectively makes you invincible in all content, including Grandmaster Nightfalls, paired with the ability to actually still do damage while being an immortal tank.The whole thing is based around Titan using the Stronghold exotic that is already good at making you unkillable to a certain extent while blocking, but now? Thanks to recent buffs and new additions, you can also kill lots of things instead of doing almost nothing.Play Puzzles & Games on ForbesStronghold Arms Gives you infinite sword block. You need this or this entire thing doesnt work.Flash Counter This is the perk you want on your sword to make this work. Its recently been buffed to emit a short-range blast that disorients targets after blocking when raising your guard. The blast does actual damage, not purely disorienting enemies. The second key here.Abyssal Edge This sword is Strand, and that works with the Unraveling Orbs artifact mod that gives Strand weapons Unraveling Rounds on orb pickup which works with Flash Counter damage. Also taking the Horde Shuttle mod will spawn Threadlings when doing this.Destiny 2BungiePower of Ambition Fragile, seasonal mod that give weapons Blight Rounds on rapid hit (triggers with Flash Counter) and also overcharges the weapon.Rally Barricade with Storms Keep Storms Keep lets you rapidly build bolt charge behind the barricade and lets it discharge the stacks with weapons, not just abilities. And so, Flash Counter now doing damage counts as weapon damage that will trigger Bolt, Bolt which is also buffed to do more damage this season through an artifact mod. Its a big chunk.Touch of Thunder Improve your Pulse Grenade, combined with Grenade jolt fragment, since you can throw grenades while blocking with the sword.Those are the basics, and again, literally all you need for this is Stronghold and a sword with Flash Counter, but preferably the seasonal sword, which should be easy enough to farm given that youre only using one perk.Im not sure this is exactly going to be the exact type of speed demon build you want for activities like Nether and Court of Blades, but for something like Grandmasters which is almost exclusively about avoiding or in this case, tanking tons of damage while being able to dish some out, its great. You can either have a team doing this, or you can draw fire while your teammates shoot actual guns. Good job Rick, dont let the Stronghold haters get you down.Follow me , and .Pick up my sci-fi novels the and

In brief: A top US Space Force official says that China has been practicing coordinated satellite maneuvers in low Earth orbit, describing the actions as "dogfighting in space." He added that the capability gap between the US and its adversaries had significantly narrowed, warning that the service needed more resources to maintain space superiority. The maneuvers, initially identified by commercial satellites, took place in 2024. They involved three Shiyan-24C experimental satellites and two Chinese experimental space objects, the Shijian-6 05A/B.Speaking at the McAleese Defense Programs Conference in Washington this week, vice chief of space operations General Michael Guetlein said, "We observed five objects in space moving in and out and around each other in synchrony and in control.""That's what we call dogfighting in space - they are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do in-orbit space operations from one satellite to another."As reported by Breaking Defense, a representative of Colorado-based space tracking firm LeoLabs confirmed it had observed the Chinese demonstration of rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) using its network of ground-based radar. The rep said there was another, ongoing case involving Russian satellites."The Russians are right in the middle of a three-spacecraft RPO," the LeoLabs rep added. // Related StoriesGuetlein warned that China has a fleet of signal jammers in space. He highlighted other threats from the country and Russia, including anti-satellite weapons, satellites that can shadow US satellites, spoofing traffic, and satellites with grappling arms that can grab another satellite something China is believed to have demonstrated in 2022. He also mentioned Russia's development of a space-based nuclear weapon."Unfortunately, our current adversaries are willing to go against international norms of behavior, go against that gentleman's agreement, and they're willing to do it in very unsafe and unprofessional manners," Guetlein said.Space Force's second in command said that the capability gap between the US and its near peers used to be massive thanks to the technical advancements of the United States, but that gap has been narrowing considerably in recent times.Guetlein said the US continuing its off-Earth dominance will require a mix of private and military expertise. He called for more resources, including offensive weapons, a change in Space Force's culture and training, and the purchase of new equipment.News of the dogfighting satellites comes just as a short video briefly appeared on WeChat of China's barge-like Shuqiao ships (above). A beach test shows how the ships can rise up on pylons and connect to each other using drop-down bridges, creating a loading dock almost a kilometer (0.6 miles) out to sea. It's believed that this capability will help the People's Liberation Army overcome all difficult landing conditions during an invasion of Taiwan.

What just happened? The European Space Agency's Euclid mission released its first batch of survey data this week, providing a glimpse of hundreds of thousands of galaxies in diverse shapes and sizes, as well as numerous galaxy clusters, active galactic nuclei, and transient phenomena like supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. The data covers a substantial area of the sky in three mosaics, showcasing the mission's capability to explore the large-scale organization of galaxies within the cosmic web. "Euclid shows itself once again to be the ultimate discovery machine. It is surveying galaxies on the grandest scale, enabling us to explore our cosmic history and the invisible forces shaping our Universe," said ESA's Director of Science, Prof. Carole Mundell. She added that this data release unlocks a treasure trove of information for scientists to tackle some of the most intriguing questions in modern science.In just one week of observations, Euclid has identified 26 million galaxies, the farthest located up to 10.5 billion light-years away. These deep fields also contain a small population of bright quasars, some of which are visible from even greater distances. Over the coming years, Euclid will revisit these regions tens of times, capturing many more distant galaxies and making these fields truly 'deep' by the end of the mission in 2030.The initial glimpse of 63 square degrees of the sky previews the scale of Euclid's grand cosmic atlas, which will eventually cover one-third of the entire sky 14,000 square degrees in high-quality detail."We will observe each deep field between 30 and 52 times over Euclid's six-year mission, each time improving the resolution of how we see those areas, and the number of objects we manage to observe," said Valeria Pettorino, ESA's Euclid project scientist. "Just think of the discoveries that await us."Galaxies of various shapes captured by EuclidEuclid's high-resolution Visible Imaging System (VIS) and near-infrared instrument (NISP) are crucial for measuring galaxy shapes and distances, respectively, providing insights into the large-scale organization of galaxies within the cosmic web. This is essential for understanding dark matter and dark energy, which comprise about 95 percent of the universe.Euclid is expected to capture images of over 1.5 billion galaxies, generating around 100 GB of data daily. Combining AI algorithms and citizen science is vital when analyzing this vast dataset. "We're at a pivotal moment in terms of how we tackle large-scale surveys in astronomy," said Mike Walmsley, a Euclid Consortium scientist. "AI is a fundamental and necessary part of our process in order to fully exploit Euclid's vast dataset." // Related StoriesStrong gravitational lenses captured by EuclidEuclid is also a powerful tool for studying gravitational lensing, a phenomenon where light from distant galaxies is distorted by foreground matter. The mission has already identified 500 strong lens candidates, most of which were previously unknown. Euclid aims to capture thousands more such lenses over its mission by combining AI models with citizen science and expert vetting.The mission's first cosmology data will be released in October 2026.

There have been a number of rumours surrounding a foldable iPhone of late, and in fact, there have been a couple of suggestions of a foldable iPad too with a screen that extends to 18.8-inches, making it a couple of inches larger than the biggest MacBook.Despite Apple having not entered the foldable market as yet though, its possible that it wont just be a foldable iPhone or iPad on the cards when it does. A recent patent, spotted by Apple Insider, has indicated that a foldable Apple Watch could be a possibility at some point in the future. We know, we know, sounds very farfetched, doesnt it?Recommended VideosThe patent is for a Wearable Electronic Device, and it talks about this device including a display that can be folded or extended. The wearable electronic device, such as a smartwatch, can include a display with an extendable screen size, the patent application suggests, before adding in particular, the display can be folded to be compact, and the display can be extended when increased screen size is desired.Please enable Javascript to view this contentIt also talks about various use cases you might want a foldable Apple Watch for, or a foldable wearable electronic device we should say. The patent reads: A user may want the display to be extended when using certain applications, making phone/ video calls, playing games, browsing the web, etc.Folding Apple Watch patent AppleIt appreciates that an Apple Watch folding out into an iPhone-like device wont work for everyday activities however, adding: On the other hand, the user may want the display to be folded for convenience and portability, such as when the user is going about their day-to-day activities, outdoor activities, etc.When the Apple Watch first launched it was reliant on the iPhone, and thats still true to some extent, though you can now get models with cellular connection, and the Apple Watch has its own App Store too.If this patent ever resulted in an actual device however, the folding Apple Watch would surely be independent of the iPhone given it would seemingly have its own camera and smarts to allow you to do most of what you would do on your iPhone on your wrist.Its worth pointing out that Apple and others file hundreds of patents every year and not all result in an actual product so we may never see a folding Apple Watch. Its interesting that its a consideration though.Editors Recommendations
