Dell Tech World 2026: It's All About Sovereign and On-Premises AI
… All of this hardware, in turn, will be leveraged to run agentic AI systems locally – not just the inference powering their AI reasoning, but also the execution of the agents. …

… So for an agentic AI-themed keynote, we would expect to see at least a bit more from Qualcomm about some data center hardware that will be used for that purpose. Meanwhile on the client side of matters, the first laptops based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite SoC recently began shipping. …
… But agentic AI is more balanced. It’s not just leveraging the GPU, but needs plenty of CPU time as well. All of this has lead to a spike in demand for data center CPUs. Demo time again. This time demoing the shift in compute demands for agentic AI. …
… It still likely requires a human review, no matter how confident the AI agent sounds, but at least it gives you a starting point and a relatively low-cost option to get second, third, and more opinions using different AI agents and prompts. …
… New processors, shifting bottlenecks, and the recent explosion in agentic systems have been reshaping the kinds of server hardware needed. Fittingly, the Taiwanese server vendors have been using this year’s Computex trade show to demonstrate their latest and upcoming server wares. …
… Meanwhile NVLink Fusion allows CSPs to pair up custom and semi-custom chips with NVIDIA’s hardware. Creating a heterogenous data center. NVLink Fusion is about fusing NVIDIA’s and Marvell’s platforms. The time is now for Marvell and NVIDIA to work together to scale up platforms for agentic AI. …
… On the one hand, it is a reminder that critical agentic workflows will require a router in front to keep them running. The flip side is that if there is only one model that you trust to accurately complete a workflow, does the workflow just stop if the model becomes unavailable? …
… Despite the focus on compact designs, Minisforum has some AI ambitions for the system, leaning on Intel’s platform and pre-loading it with agentic AI software. …
… First off is a 10GbE port for local networking. In a typical mini-PC, this would be the fastest port you would find on a system, but of course, the Spark aims much higher. Which is why it is rounded out by a pair of 200Gbps QSFP112 ports. …
… Likewise, many of the DPUs available have specialized Linux versions. …
