GIGABYTE Mixes Up GeForce And Radeon Shrouds, Shipping An RTX 5060 Ti With AMD Branding To A Stunned Buyer

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 Squeezes Intel’s 10-Core Raptor Lake Onto a $200 Motherboard, Undercutting Traditional CPU+Board Combos by Nearly Half

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


NVIDIA’s Own AI Costs Now Dwarf What It Pays Human Employees, VP Admits, as Compute Bills Spiral Across the Industry

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'

Samsung’s Desperation To Keep Galaxy S27 Component Costs Down Has Forced It To Seek A Supplier Of Inferior Quality Displays

Smartphone titans like Samsung have made efforts to ensure that the DRAM crisis doesn’t adversely affect their ‘day to day’ operations, but these attempts were futile as the Korean giant has been forced to introduce a price hike to the Galaxy S26 series . However, the company is working to ensure that it minimizes additional component cost bumps by moving to a dual-sourcing strategy. Since displays are among the more expensive parts of a smartphone, the base Galaxy S27 could feature panels from Samsung and another


AMD’s Lisa Su Quietly Cashes In On The Smartphone Industry’s Deep Freeze As MediaTek And Qualcomm Vacate TSMC’s 4nm And 5nm Lines

One person's loss is another's gain, or a company's in this case. After all, AMD seems to be having a field day with its older 5nm CPUs, which entail crazy-high yields by the way, as both Qualcomm and MediaTek vacate some of TSMC's 4nm and 5nm lines on shrinking smartphone demand.

By now, it's public knowledge that the global mobile industry is contending with a chronic DRAM shortage as most of the associated fabrication capacity has been allocated


AMD’s New CPPC HighestFreq Ends OS Frequency Guesswork, Letting Windows And Linux See True Ryzen Boost Clocks

The upcoming ACPI support could allow OS like Windows and Linux read CPU frequencies directly without having to estimate them for optimal performance.

Traditionally, OS like Windows and Linux do not have the capability to read the CPU boost frequencies directly from the firmware, but the AMD CPPC HighestFreq could change this forever. The new feature reportedly would allow CPUs to directly report their real maximum boost frequencies to the operating systems through the firmware, which eliminates the need for frequency calculations by the OS.

The change is prepared for the Linux AMD P


Trump Touted The “Tens Of Billions Of Dollars” The Government Has Made From Intel, While Selling A Deal To Apple That Undercuts TSMC By 25% On Wafer Pricing

Whatever else one might think of President Trump, it is plain as day that he is a connoisseur at shaping narratives. And, apparently the President seems to have played a material role in selling an Intel deal to Apple, one that might accrue sizable short- and long-term benefits to the Cupertino-based tech giant.

Apple has reached a preliminary chip fabrication deal with Intel, according to the Wall Street Journal. While the specifics of this agreement are not known at this time, it is likely to resemble the


AMD DGF Tech Offers Massive Increase In Geometry In Ray Traced Games With Future RDNA GPUs, Achieves Up To 30% Compression With Current GPUs

AMD has further detailed its , which rivals NVIDIA's RTX Mega Geometry , delivering vastly higher geometry counts in ray tracing games while offering new compression methods designed with future RDNA GPUs in mind.

Last year, AMD announced its , or DGF in short. This tech aims to handle massive polygon counts by streaming geometry clusters rather than full scenes. The principle of AMD's DGF is simple. It is designed to store compressed triangle meshes by taking a standard triangle mesh and storing it into small meshes or meshlets. A


NVIDIA’s AI Chips Reached China’s Alibaba Through Thailand, As US Indicts Supermicro Execs In $2.5 Billion Smuggling Ring

NVIDIA's AI chips have once again bypassed barriers and landed at Alibaba in China, as the US suspects Supermicro's role in smuggling through Thailand.

Despite China dropping the hammer on NVIDIA's chips to increase dependency on in-house AI chips, the leading Chinese firms, such as Alibaba, are still procuring the latest hardware from NVIDIA through illegal channels.

As per , several Supermicro employees, including high-level executives, are involved in a $2.5 billion smuggling case. The case revolves around
