- [Processors for HPC and AI](https://www.cir-inc.com/product/processors-for-hpc-and-ai/): \Available in June, 2026\
\High\-performance computing \(HPC\) and AI are increasingly converging around accelerated, heterogeneous processors with each type of processor doing what it does best\. For example, the latest platforms combine CPUs with GPUs, application\-specific accelerators, high\-bandwidth memory and advanced interconnects\. The rapid growth of AI has made accelerators the principal source of industry expansion, while scientific computing, simulation, national labs and weather forecasting continue to support demand for conventional HPC systems\. Meanwhile, the HPC and AI processor markets has become less distinct\.\
- [Co\-Packaged Optics in the AI Data Center: A Ten\-Year Market and Technology Forecast](https://www.cir-inc.com/product/co-packaged-optics-a-ten-year-forecast/): \Published January 2026\
This report explores the future of co\-packaged optics \(CPO\) and related technologies as an interconnect technology for AI data centers\. It includes granular forecasts of CPO shipments taking into consideration realistic time frames for the commercial development of CPO\. The forecasts are broken out in various ways including, data rate, standards/technology location in the network \(data center interconnect, intra\-rack and inter\-rack\)\. There are also strategic profiles of approximately 30 major influencer firms developing CPO products\. Finally, the report devotes significant space to how end\-users will optimally deploy CPO for AI in the next ten years both in the immediate future and how this will change as products and standards change\.
