In the latest episode of the , leaker Moore's Law Is Dead claimed that the next Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix , could be as disruptive as Apple's new MacBook Neo due to its sheer value, which MLID likened to a two or even three-thousand-dollar gaming PC:

Project Helix is basically a high-end PC, even using the same silicon as AMD's 70 or maybe 80 class RDNA5 GPU is. It isn't an ultra level of PC hardware,

OpenAI has published a new patent in which it discloses an AI chip housing several compute chiplets, surrounded by a large number of HBM memory stacks.

In a new patent titled " ", OpenAI shares plans for an AI chip solution that is going to house several HBM chiplets and compute chiplets, all connected using Embedded Logic Bridges.

The research proposes the idea of leveraging these embedded logic bridges for high-speed interconnects between longer distances, enabling more chiplets to connect together to support high-performance computing and AI workloads which require

Amidst constant news of price increases for gaming hardware and services, Microsoft did the unexpected yesterday by lowering the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate , which had become too expensive for too many players, according to Xbox head Asha Sharma , at the cost of new Call of Duty games that will only hit the service one year after their launch. Reportedly, this is only the beginning, as according to Windows Central's Jez Corden , Microsoft's long-term goal for its subscription service is flexibility.

Samsung verifies its QD-OLED display lineup successfully in the QuantumView verification program, showcasing why its displays are the best.

Press Release: announced today that its QD-OLED panels for TVs and monitors have received verification from UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, for their viewing angle performance under the ‘QuantumView™’ standard.

‘QuantumView’ is a verification program that evaluates changes in luminance and color coordinates as the viewing angle shifts from the front in 10-degree increments up to 60 degrees

Over the past year or so, several game developers have started sharing thoughts on the potential benefits and downsides of using AI in game development . As with all things AI, the conversation is quite polarized at the moment: some have already embraced it , while others have sworn not to touch it with a tentpole , mainly for ethical reasons.

Veteran industry executive Jack Buser sits firmly in the first camp. Buser, who worked at Dolby, then at Sony on PlayStation Home and PlayStation NOW, and finally at Google on Stadia

Tesla has approached Samsung to expand its GDDR6 memory supply, which could lead to DRAM shortages for PlayStation 5 & Gaming GPUs.

Samsung is one of the leading manufacturers of the GDDR6 memory solution , which is primarily used in graphics applications such as GPUs, SoCs, and AI solutions. Although NVIDIA has moved to the GDDR7 standard, GDDR6 still makes up the bulk of the volume with several current-gen products leveraging the DRAM standard.

Now, Samsung is looking to quadruple its GDDR6 DRAM supply to

SK Hynix has taken matters into its own hands to solve the HBM memory crisis by building a new production facility called .

Being built at the Cheongju Technopolis Industrial Complex, will take the key role in addressing the AI memory crisis, fulfilling the demand for HBM DRAM while also enabling WLP (Wafer-Level Packaging) lines.

The announcement comes from SK Hynix in the form of a groundbreaking ceremony where 125 executives and employees took part.

In his opening remarks, Byeonggi Lee, Head of

Consumer & Server CPUs will face severe shortages, and are expected to see price hikes till the third quarter of 2026.

We have reported how the Agentic AI surge is resulting in demand shifting from GPUs to CPUs . This is now leading to shortages in both the consumer and server processor segments. In turn, CPU prices have seen a bump.

In March, prices for consumer CPUs increased by 5-10%, while server CPU prices saw a more drastic bump of 10-20%

Samsung's 1d DRAM (7th Gen 10nm) for next-generation HBM solutions might not undergo production soon due to failure to meet yields.

A report published by Korean outlet, , suggests that due to less than ideal yields of its 1d "D1d" DRAM based on the 10nm process technology, Samsung might be pulling the plug on mass producing its next-gen HBM solutions.

The DRAM technology had already received a pre-production approval (PRA), but concerns
