Key Terms

gpu, soc, radio access network (RAN), gnss, +4 more

8 terms

gpu technical

"dual-slot, full-height, full-length GPUs, including NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000"

A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized computer chip designed to handle many calculations at once, originally for rendering images and video but now widely used for tasks like artificial intelligence, data analysis and high-performance computing. Investors watch GPU demand and prices because strong sales often signal growth for chip makers and their customers, affect profit margins and capital spending, and can forecast wider trends in gaming, AI adoption and cloud services.

soc technical

"New Edge-Optimized Systems Featuring Intel® Xeon® 6 SoC processors"

Standard of care (often abbreviated SOC) is the treatment or management approach that is widely accepted and used by medical professionals for a particular disease or condition. For investors, SOC provides the benchmark against which new therapies, devices, or clinical results are judged—like comparing a new car to the current most popular model; a product that meaningfully outperforms the SOC can win market share and drive revenue, while failure to beat or match it limits commercial potential.

radio access network (RAN) technical

"designed to integrate AI into the Radio Access Network (RAN)."

A radio access network (RAN) is the collection of antennas, base stations and related equipment that connects mobile devices to the broader phone and internet network, acting like a bridge and traffic controller for wireless signals. It matters to investors because RAN design and upgrades determine how fast and reliably networks deliver services, influence a carrier’s costs and rollout speed for new technologies (like 5G), and shape which vendors or operators gain revenue and competitive advantage.

gnss technical

"built-in time sync and GNSS features, as well as 8 built-in 25 GbE ports"

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, a network of satellites that provide precise location and timing information anywhere on Earth, like a constantly available digital map and clock. It matters to investors because many industries—transportation, agriculture, telecom, finance and defense—rely on this positioning and timing for products, services and critical infrastructure; improvements or disruptions in GNSS can change costs, create new revenue streams, or introduce operational risk.

tensor core gpu technical

"NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU, and support for NVIDIA ConnectX®-7"

A tensor core GPU is a type of graphics chip that includes small, purpose-built processors called tensor cores to perform the heavy, repeated math needed for artificial intelligence and machine learning much faster and more efficiently than a general-purpose processor. Think of it as adding a specialized, high-speed assembly line worker to handle one repetitive task so the whole factory runs faster. For investors, tensor-core-equipped GPUs matter because they can lower computing costs, boost performance for AI services, and give hardware makers and cloud providers a competitive edge that can translate into higher sales, margins, or faster product adoption.

edge ai technical

"Designed for Edge AI workloads in retail, manufacturing, and other"

Edge AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that process data directly on local devices or nearby servers rather than sending information to distant data centers. This allows for faster decision-making and real-time responses, similar to how a home security camera can instantly detect motion without needing to connect to a remote server. For investors, edge AI represents a growing trend toward more efficient, responsive technology that can create new opportunities across various industries.

petascale technical

"Petascale and Top-loading Storage – Density-maximized storage systems"

Petascale describes computing or data systems that operate at the peta level — around 10^15 units — commonly meaning machines that can perform a quadrillion calculations per second or handle a petabyte of data. For investors, petascale capability signals the ability to process vast amounts of information for tasks like complex simulations, large-scale AI training, or real-time analytics, which can drive competitive advantage, higher capital spending, and new revenue opportunities.

5g technical

"including 10 Gb Ethernet, 5G, and Wi-Fi integration."

5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology that provides faster internet connections, lower latency, and greater capacity than previous networks. It enables quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable connections for devices. For investors, 5G represents a significant upgrade in technology infrastructure that can drive growth in related industries such as smartphones, smart cities, and the Internet of Things.
