Madrid’s Orbital Paradigm aims to prove a cheaper path to orbital reentry

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-17 08:00:00

Francesco Cacciatore is a self-proclaimed skeptic. Yet after spending two decades in the European aerospace industry and hitting, as he put it, a “crisis,” he made an undeniably optimistic bet: he started a space company. “You ask yourself, ‘What am I doing?’” he said in a recent interview. “I got offered some interesting opportunities, but then I kind of collapsed and realized I wanted to try and build something myself.” That something turned out to be one of the most challenging problems in

Intel Patents 'Software Defined Supercore'

If the technology works as it is designed to, then Intel's future CPUs could offer faster single-thread performance in select applications that can use SDC.

With AMD having attaining more than 40 percent revenue share and more than 27 percent shipment share in the X86 server CPU market in the first half of 2025, that means two things. First, AMD is selling some big, fat X86 CPUs compared to Intel. It also means that Intel, despite all of its many woes, is getting nearly 60 percent of revenues and north of 72 percent of shipments for X86 server CPU here in 2025.
