Broadcom Chip to Help Power AI by Linking Up Smaller Data Centers
(Bloomberg) -- The age of ever-bigger AI data centers is leaving cloud companies with a question: What do with older, smaller facilities? Broadcom Inc. is offering a possible answer, at least for operations located with some proximity. A new version of its Jericho networking chip announced Monday can transfer larger volumes of data at higher speeds. That means customers can link up several smaller data centers to create one big system for developing or running AI models, said Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of the company's core switching group. The Jericho4 product is capable of connecting more than 1 million processors across multiple data centers and can handle about four times more information than the previous version, Broadcom said. Broadcom has been benefiting from demand for gear that can be used to build out AI systems. Its networking components, such as routers and switches, direct traffic between graphics processing units, or GPUs, the pricey chips used to create AI models. While some of the Broadcom gear is used to move data within parts of the same rack or data center building, there is also a need for components that work across buildings or even greater distances. Moreover, the power consumption of giant GPU clusters is getting too large to keep them all in the same location, Velaga said. 'When they try to do a cluster of 200,000 GPUs or even 100,000 GPUs, you soon hit 300 megawatts, and 300 megawatts is not available inside one physical building today,' Velaga said. The Jericho family of networking chips will help that work, he said. Companies also are trying to move data center capacity nearer to customers, helping speed up the answers users get from AI models. That means cloud and AI businesses will need to make use of data centers located in congested metropolitan areas, where it may be more practical to connect several smaller setups, Velaga said. Broadcom's Tomahawk line can connect racks inside a data center, but those distances are usually under a kilometer (0.6 miles), Velaga said. The Jericho equipment can handle distances of more than 100 kilometers. The Jericho4 will start shipping Monday to early customers such as cloud providers and network gear makers, which will build it into their products, Velaga said. It will take about nine months for it to be fully deployed, he said. More stories like this are available on

Putin Unchains Missiles To Counter Trump's Nuke Subs: Russia Free To HIT Targets 5,500 Km Away
India Unfazed By Trump Tantrums; Gives This Big Directive To Refiners On Russian Oil Purchase India defies US President Donald Trump's threat on the purchase of oil from Russia. According to a Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with that matter, New Delhi has not issued any directive to its oil refiners to halt purchases of Russian crude. Bloomberg said no official decision has been made to stop imports from Russia. Trump on Wednesday slammed India for continuing to buy most of its military equipment and energy from Russia. Trump also imposed a 25% tariff on India and threatened an additional penalty for its close ties with Moscow.

Despite US pressure, Russian oil tankers unload at Indian refineries
More tankers are poised to discharge another 2.2 million barrels of Urals in the coming hours Bloomberg By Weilun Soon and Rakesh Sharma At least four tankers discharged millions of barrels of Russian crude at Indian refineries at the weekend, a sign the closely scrutinised deliveries are continuing as normal, even as the US ramps up pressure on the South Asian country to stop purchases. Oil traders and shipping companies have been waiting for direction from New Delhi on whether supplies from Moscow will be allowed to continue after US President Donald Trump last week threatened punitive action to curb trade with Russia. Over the weekend, a senior aide accused India of effectively funding President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. Washington's tough demands, coming after a surprise 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports to the US, threw private and state-owned refineries' purchase plans into disarray. Still, India hasn't asked refiners to stop Russian crude imports, according to people familiar with the matter. Three Aframaxes — the Achilles, Elyte and Horae — unloaded nearly 2.2 million barrels of Urals crude, a key Russian grade, to private processors Nayara Energy Ltd and Reliance Industries Ltd over the weekend after a slight delay, ship-tracking data show. The Mikati, also an Aframax, delivered more than 720,000 barrels of Russia's Varandey crude on a two-stop journey that included deliveries to refineries in Kochi and Mangalore. State-run Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd owns the Kochi refinery, while Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. is majority owned by state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp Ltd. More tankers are poised to discharge another 2.2 million barrels of Urals in the coming hours, with Minion and Destan now at Sikka, a terminal operated by Reliance. Aldebaran is due to unload across the gulf at Mundra. While Bloomberg News couldn't immediately determine the buyer, the Mundra port serves both government-run Indian Oil Corp Ltd. and HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd, partially owned by state-run Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd. Reliance, the largest buyer of Russian Urals, has a long-term deal with Russian producer Rosneft PJSC that would ensure it can get those barrels over several years. India's appetite for discounted Russian crude, and its position as the single largest buyer of Moscow's seaborne oil, has long been a pain point for the US and Western allies. Scrutiny has increased in recent weeks, even before Trump's latest comments. Nayara was sanctioned by the European Union on July 18 for its links to Russia, prompting the processor to cut run rates and pushing trade partners to seek supplies elsewhere.
