At the  AMD Advancing AI  event last June, CEO and Chair Dr. Lisa Su described agentic AI as a new class of user: systems that are always active, continuously accessing data, applications, and services to make decisions and complete complex tasks. These systems rely on high-performance GPUs to generate insights in real time, but the surrounding infrastructure is just as important. As agentic AI activity grows, high-performance CPUs coordinate workflows, process and move data, and manage the many operations that occur around the model. While GPUs excel at the high-throughput parallel processing used in AI training and many inference tasks, modern AI deployments depend on balanced systems. CPUs, GPUs, networking, and software each play distinct roles in delivering performance at scale. Within these environments, CPUs orchestrate workloads, manage memory and data movement, and support the enterprise applications that run alongside AI models in production. That makes CPU performan...

Baguio City once again came alive with colors, blooms, and celebration as the Panagbenga Festival filled its streets with floats, music, and the vibrant spirit of the Cordillera community. Beyond the festivities, the festival also highlighted a deeper story unfolding on the ground: how local entrepreneurs—many of them small family-run businesses—are gaining greater access to financial tools that allow them to participate more fully in the local digital economy.   For many nano, micro, small, and medium enterprises (NMSMEs), access to safe and convenient financial services is not just about efficiency—it is about opportunity, dignity in work, and the ability to grow their livelihoods. At this year’s Panagbenga Festival, GCash, the country’s leading finance super app and largest cashless ecosystem, supported local merchants by bringing practical digital solutions and on-ground activities that help level the playing field for small businesses.  ...
