Apple switched to its new Fusion Architecture for the M5 Pro and M5 Max , meaning that both of its chipsets can now pack up to an 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU in the latest MacBook Pro lineup, bringing increased multi-core and graphics performance to the table. However, these improvements would typically mean that the machines will become more expensive, but Amazon has taken a different direction, slashing the 14-inch and 16-inch models by up to $20
One Analyst Breaks From The Herd, Says Apple’s DRAM Buying Spree Won’t Crush Margins Despite 2.4 Exabyte Appetite
When multiple analysts cite various supply chain sources to assert that Apple is apparently buying up all the DRAM it can get its hands on, you should pay attention.
And now, Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng has become the latest to add to this chorus, albeit taking a much more benign stance on the topic of Apple's margins.
We reported on a specific bit of supply chain chatter in early April, which suggested that Apple was actively buying up "all available mobile DRAM on the market" to prevent its competitors

NVIDIA Improves Path Tracing Performance By 3x With Enhanced ReSTIR Algorithms, Prepped For Next-Gen Gaming
NVIDIA has shared a new and improved ReSTIR algorithm, which improves Path Tracing performance by 2-3x, setting the stage for next-gen gaming.
PC games are rapidly adopting Path Tracing as a means to deliver next-generation visual fidelity. Just like Ray Tracing , NVIDIA is the one who has paved the way for Path Tracing on PCs first . However, just like Ray Tracing in its early days, Path Tracing faces a challenge, and that's the requirement of faster hardware. As we have seen
Micron 3 GB GDDR7 Memory Rolling Out Now – Will Be Great To Expand Memory On Entry-Tier GPUs
Not just Samsung and SK Hynix, the third major memory maker, Micron, has also joined the race in producing the high capacity GDDR7 memory.
Finally, the third major memory maker has also started working on its own 24 GB or 3 GB GDDR7 (we will use 3 GB instead of 24 GB throughout the article for making it simple) memory modules. Micron, which recently exited the consumer market as it aimed to focus more on the data center, is now producing higher capacity GDDR7 memory
New HUDIMM DDR5 Standard Promises Cheaper Memory, But Testing Shows It Slashes Bandwidth in Half
Intel is working with partners to release a cost-effective DDR5 memory design called HUDIMM , but it will lead to much lower performance.
Last week, Intel introduced a new DDR5 memory standard, along with its partners, called HUDIMM. The HUDIMM standard stands for Half-UDIMM & what it does is switch from two 32-bit channels that are featured on normal memory modules to just one 32-bit channel. This should allow memory makers to build cost-effective memory by populating half of the
