November 12th, 2026 - By: Liz Allan Key Takeaways: Moving compute closer to memory can reduce data movement, power consumption, and latency. Different AI workloads require different approaches to memory architecture, interconnects, and processing.\n\nReporting also notes that software support, standardization, and thermal management remain major barriers to wider adoption. The shift from AI training in data centers to AI inferencing at the edge will require a fundamental rethinking of where and how data is processed and stored, how it is prioritized, and what needs to be traded off in terms of power and performance to stay within a limited power budget. At the center of these efforts is a recognition that the explosion of data — especially in physical AI where data is being live-streamed from sensors — requires much of that data to be processed as close to memory as possible. This has been a topic of discussion since the inception of the Internet of Things, but it really began gaining traction with AI due to the flood of data and concerns about the amount of power required to move and process it.\n\nPoints still worth watching: In battery-electric vehicles and drones, for example, the less energy spent on processing data, the greater the range per charge and the more energy that can be allocated to critical and not-so-critical functions. The challenge is understanding what data needs to be kept, what can be discarded, and what needs to be acted upon.
