1. AMD expects server revenue to grow over 80% year‑on‑year in the second half of 2026

Demand growth for AMD's accelerators and CPUs has been significantly stronger than the company's previous expectations. AMD projects that server revenue in the second half of 2026 will grow more than 80% year‑on‑year, and that data centre sales will double in 2027. Chief Executive Officer Lisa Su also stated that the company will launch rack‑scale products in 2027, featuring MI500 GPUs, Verano CPUs, Pensando networking technology, and will adopt both copper and optical fibre for domain expansion.

2. Mandatory national standard for high‑level autonomous driving issued, effective July 1, 2027

On August 4, it was reported that the mandatory national standard *Safety Requirements for Automated Driving Systems of Intelligent and Connected Vehicles (GB 44721‑2026), developed and coordinated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, has been approved and issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Standardization Administration of China. The standard is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2027.

3. Alibaba Cloud Container Service Agent to begin commercial billing

On August 4, Alibaba Cloud announced that its Container Service Agent will add new features including a Skill Center and IM channels, and will begin commercial billing at 10:00 AM Beijing Time on September 3.
