'Our work shows that Rowhammer, which is well-studied on CPUs, is a serious threat on GPUs as well': High-end Nvidia hardware targeted by all-new attacks entering a new "territory."
THE SO WHAT
Rowhammer-style attacks jumping to high-end Nvidia GPUs means your AI cluster is now a primary memory attack surface — not just a compute asset. If you’re running shared GPU environments, treat them like multi-tenant CPU infra and push your vendors on hardware-level mitigations, not just software sandboxing.

Deep & Emerging TechASML Raises Sales Forecast as AI Demand Boosts Growth
ASML lifting its 2026 sales forecast to €36B–€40B is a hard capex signal — advanced lithography is the real gating factor on AI scale, not just GPUs. If you’re betting on “more compute later,” assume longer lead times and higher effective prices as ASML’s backlog becomes the invisible constraint in your roadmap.
ASML reports Q1 net sales of €8.8B, vs. €8.5B est., and €2.8B net profit, vs. €2.5B est., and raises 2026 net sales forecast to €36B-€40B from €34B-€39B (Arjun Kharpal/CNBC)
Beating Q1 and hiking the 2026 guide to up to €40B confirms ASML’s order book is locked in around AI demand — the wafer side of the stack is now as strategic as the GPU brands you recognize. Infra buyers need to model lithography capacity into their long-term compute assumptions, not just cloud contracts.
Deep & Emerging TechItaly Gives €211 Million to Data Center Tech Firm 2D Photonics
Italy writing a €211M check to 2D Photonics is another data point that AI infra is now industrial policy — photonics for data centers is being treated like national rail. Operators building around high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects should start tracking which geographies are subsidizing their future vendors.
Deep & Emerging TechFirst Statewide Data Center Ban Passed by Maine Legislature
Compute is now constrained by local politics as much as by chips and power—Maine’s >20 MW ban is a template other grid- and land-stressed states will copy. If your AI infra roadmap assumes frictionless US siting, you’re already behind on a multi-jurisdiction site and incentives strategy.
