The company is currently engaged with &quot;highly strategic&quot; external customers for its 18A-P technology, while its <strong>Nova Lake<\/strong> client product is reportedly tracking ahead of schedule. Despite these gains, Intel noted that an industry-wide shortage of <strong>advanced organic substrates<\/strong> is currently limiting its ability to scale output.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMZN\">AMZN<\/a>) continues to see &quot;insatiable&quot; demand for its cloud services, with CEO Andy Jassy revealing that <strong>AWS capacity is largely sold out through 2027<\/strong>. The company expects to spend &quot;meaningfully more&quot; on capital expenditures in 2027 to keep pace with the triple-digit year-over-year growth in its backlog. To meet this demand, Amazon will begin selling its <strong>Trainium<\/strong> AI chips to external data centers starting in late 2027, challenging the current market dominance of merchant silicon.<\/p>\n<h2>Cybersecurity and Geopolitical Tensions Rise<\/h2>\n<p>The cryptocurrency market was rattled by reports of a potential multi-billion dollar exploit at <strong>Binance<\/strong>. On-chain data showed approximately <strong>$2 billion in Ethereum and stablecoins<\/strong> leaving Binance hot wallets for a new address funded via Tornado Cash. While Binance has not yet confirmed a breach, the exchange stated its security teams are &quot;actively investigating&quot; the incident with urgency.<\/p>\n<p>Geopolitical risks also intensified as the <strong>IAEA<\/strong> was informed of a drone attack at the <strong>Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant<\/strong>, which resulted in the death of an employee. Simultaneously, the <strong>U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)<\/strong> moved to tighten national security by voting to block Chinese telecom firms from direct U.S. phone number access. This decision follows a broader crackdown on Chinese technology, including a future ban on Chinese laboratories testing electronic devices for the U.S. market.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy and Global Defense Shifts<\/h2>\n<p>In the energy sector, <strong>PetroChina<\/strong>, <strong>CNOOC<\/strong>, and <strong>Petrobras (<a href=\"\/stock\/PBR\">PBR<\/a>)<\/strong> emerged as the primary winners in Brazil\u2019s <strong>PPSA spot oil auction<\/strong>. The auction involved the sale of government-owned &quot;profit oil&quot; from the pre-salt B\u00fazios field, highlighting the continued strategic interest of Chinese state-owned firms in Brazilian deepwater assets.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, North Korean state media reported that <strong>Kim Jong Un<\/strong> is prioritizing the integration of <strong>AI and drone technology<\/strong> into the country&#39;s military apparatus. The leader called for scientists to achieve absolute superiority in unmanned systems, suggesting that AI-driven defense will now sit alongside nuclear and conventional weapons as a core pillar of the nation&#39;s military strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Intel (INTC) CEO Pat Gelsinger projects the server CPU Total Addressable Market (TAM) will surge
