Supermicro Ships AMD H15 Servers and QuantumScape Unveils 'Osprey' as San Jose Sharks Host Military Appreciation Night

Supermicro Launches H15 Server Portfolio Engineered for 6th-Gen AMD EPYC Processors

SAN JOSE, California — San Jose-headquartered server architecture leader Super Micro Computer, Inc. announced on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the volume commercial shipping of its next-generation H15 server portfolio. Powered by the newly unveiled 6th Generation AMD EPYC 'Venice' processors, the high-density rack-scale systems are specifically optimized to scale agentic artificial intelligence workflows, cloud computing clusters, and high-performance scientific simulations while significantly slashing data center thermal overhead through direct-to-chip liquid cooling architectures.

Supermicro engineers noted that enterprise data center operators can achieve up to a fourfold increase in compute density per rack, easing the severe power and space constraints confronting Silicon Valley tech campuses.

QuantumScape Introduces 'Osprey' Open Platform for Solid-State Lithium-Metal Batteries

Concurrently in Silicon Valley clean-tech innovation, San Jose-based solid-state battery pioneer QuantumScape revealed Osprey, an advanced open development platform designed to accelerate commercialization timelines for all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries. The proprietary architecture provides automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with modular cell formats, rigorous thermal cycling benchmarks, and standardized battery management interfaces to integrate solid-state energy storage into electric passenger vehicles and heavy utility fleets.

Clean energy analysts commended the initiative as a pivotal step toward breaking EV range bottlenecks and eliminating traditional flammable liquid electrolyte hazards across next-generation zero-emission transportation.

San Jose Sharks Host Emotional Military Appreciation Night at SAP Center

At SAP Center on Wednesday night, the San Jose Sharks transformed the 'Shark Tank' into a patriotic tribute for their annual Military Appreciation Night during a high-stakes clash against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
