Whilst the server, CPU and non-volatile memory markets continue to thrive with the ongoing growth of internet and cloud computing companies, the use of AI in the processing of data is increasing across a multitude of industries, such as healthcare, automotive, banking, retail and social media.

This is heavily influencing the evolution in processing technology and bringing fresh challenges to traditional companies as existing processing technology is evolved for new concepts.
