Silicon Motion's CEO has said that memory (DRAM) and SSD (NAND) shortages would last until 2028 due to the continued demand from AI firms.
We know that memory and SSD shortages are bad , both in the enterprise and consumer segments. DRAM & NAND makers are adding new factories to boost production capabilities, but these aren't expected to become operational within this year.
At the earliest, the first facility expansion and bring-up plans are expected around 2027, which
TSMC’s success in the semiconductor industry is primarily due to the manufacturer’s unyielding focus on its advanced processes and ability to achieve stability in record time, allowing the company to form long-term business relationships with trillion-dollar firms like Apple and NVIDIA.
While being able to mass produce 3nm and 2nm wafers at a mammoth scale is certainly a tremendous feat, SMIC founder Richard Chang does not consider these accomplishments as a benchmark for success and calls it a misconception in the latest interview. Instead, he
Intel's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, has congratulated NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, on his Honorary Doctorate in Science and Technology, while working together on "exciting new products".
Today, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang delivered a keynote at and received an honorary Doctor of Science and Technology degree. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan congratulated Jensen on this achievement and also announced that the two firms were working on new and exciting products.
Lip-Bu acknowledged Jensen's contributions to accelerated computing and artificial intelligence
Apple’s M5 Max is currently the company’s top-end SoC to be found in the MacBook Pro, but there’s no universe in which the M4 Max would be considered diminished in any way because it’s still a ridiculously powerful SoC, and a downright expensive one at that. Naturally, any portable Mac featuring the previous-generation silicon would be sold at a premium, but one lucky customer managed to find a top-notch configuration from the most unlikely of places; a pawn
There is a torrent of jobs available for Apple’s visionOS platform, which may hint that the California-based giant is going through an aggressive hiring spree since there’s incredible demand for the Vision Pro. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman didn’t believe this was the case and, as a result, was receiving flak for shutting down claims that Apple’s expensive $3,499 mixed-reality headset was a dud, despite the myriad of job postings. Now, he has come forth to
The M5 Pro is a fantastic chipset upgrade for those who want to migrate from Windows or those who believe that their older Apple Silicon is no longer the performer that it used to be. Fortunately, you get to pocket incredible savings on the powerful 14-inch MacBook Pro featuring this chipset because its base configuration has now broken yet another record by crossing the $200 discount threshold on Amazon and can be yours for $1,983.94.
This specific configuration on Amazon offers the
Memory prices continue going up , and to make matters worse, fake DDR5 memory modules are now flooding the PC segment.
Asian markets are now seeing fake DDR5 memory at several retailers, both online and in shops. These DDR5 memory modules might look real to an average buyer, but on closer inspection, they're equipped with fake DRAM modules and sometimes even worse.
A weird incident was just reported by a Redditor, detailing how his GPU got a different shroud instead of the GeForce one.
It's rare to see such incidents, but both reports confirm that GIGABYTE indeed made a mistake in the GPU assembly. A Reddit user u/atta4821 reported that he bought a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 Ti from Canada Computers. Weirdly, something was unusual when he opened the box, as his GPU didn't look like an NVIDIA GPU. He reports
Maxsun has updated its Intel MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) lineup with two new motherboards featuring the Core 200H "Raptor Lake" CPUs.
MoDT motherboards come in all shapes and sizes. We have seen ATX and mATX offerings, with higher-end versions featuring up to AMD 9955HX3D and Intel 285H options. The thing is that MoDT boards generally aim at the value segment, offering prices that are much lower than traditional socketed CPUs and motherboard combos. These motherboards offer
AI is great for many tasks, but the costs to run AI are also exponentially higher than those of human workers, says NVIDIA.
As AI becomes part of every single IT domain, the costs to keep the entire ecosystem up and running have also grown rapidly. AI firms are spending trillions of dollars in upgrade costs of their existing AI factories while setting up new ones in multi-Gigawatt projects .
At the same time, NVIDIA, the pioneer of AI advancements, is facing a cost issue, though they don'
