The Stack

Hardware, silicon, devices, and the supply chain. From Apple Silicon to data-center cooling - the physical layer of the tech world, every Wednesday.

About this dispatch

The Stack is our weekly read on the physical side of tech. Chips, devices, data centers, and the supply chains that hold it all together. The stuff everything else runs on.

Every Wednesday we cover the hardware stories that matter, from a new Apple Silicon chip to a shortage that ripples through the whole industry. We explain how it works and why it matters in plain terms, so you don't need an engineering degree to follow along. If you're curious what's actually powering the tech you use, this is for you.

It comes out every Wednesday and it's free. Most of this hardware exists to run one thing these days, so if you want the software side, AI Decoded covers the models it's built for.
