What is agentic AI and why its reshaping AI from cloud to edge

Agentic AI represents a shift from reactive, single-prompt interactions to autonomous systems that plan, execute, and adapt tasks over multiple steps. This change increases system load and emphasizes the CPU's role in orchestrating workflows, tool calls, and memory accesses. Efficient compute within power and space constraints becomes critical as workloads become continuous and concurrent.

It’s Gonna Be May: 16 Games Hit the Cloud This Month, With More NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Power

NVIDIA is adding 16 games to GeForce NOW in May, including Forza Horizon 6 and 007 First Light on launch day.
