Amid cries of a decline in the memory industry, supply chain reports suggest that hyperscalers are locking into long-term contracts with suppliers to secure a consistent supply.

The memory markets entered an interesting phase over the past few weeks, as 'widespread' panic among retailers and some elements of the supply chain led them to believe that the release of Google's TurboQuant compression algorithm would end the supercycle. This resulted not just in a wider selloff in memory stock capitalization, but also, at the consumer end, in DDR

The memory sphere has turned into the epitome of a hysteria-obsessed lady of Victorian England. As evidence, look no further than the commodity DRAM sector, where a modest spot price reduction has spurred everything from death-knell prouncements to stock price crashes. Yet, the truly big players like Samsung have maintained their placidity, and appear bent on hiking prices like clockwork.

According to the South Korean publication ETNews, Samsung is now supplying DRAM products at . Critically, these price increases come on the proverbial heels of a 1

The sub-3nm expansion plans for Samsung are progressing somewhat smoothly, with its 2nm GAA yields estimated to be at 60 percent , giving the Korean foundry sufficient confidence to proceed with trial production of its next-generation lithography at its Taylor plant. Initially constructed for 4nm wafer manufacturing, Samsung has previously been reported to transform the overseas facility into a 2nm hub, giving it an edge over TSMC, which has limited its most advanced technologies from reaching U.S. soil .

Another high-performance Arrow Lake HX SKU was quietly released, and the official page has revealed its official specifications.

Intel just silently rolled out a smaller sibling of the Core Ultra 7 255HX. If you remember, the Core Ultra 7 251HX was spotted nearly two weeks ago in some laptop listings, and turns out, it's a real processor indeed. We checked and found that Intel has officially launched it without any announcement, and the product page is live on the official Intel website

The processor is set to launch in nearly two weeks, but early listings have already started to surface.

AMD's new flagship Zen 5 chip is arriving on April 22 , but it has already started appearing on some retailers. Keep in mind that these are not final or official prices and appear to be placeholders instead. As far as the listings are concerned, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition can be seen on multiple UK and Canadian retailers.

Rumors regarding Intel Nova Lake's performance and clocks have started roaming the web, with the IPC being mentioned as higher than AMD Zen 6 .

The latest rumor comes from HXL ( ), who has posted rumored information regarding the IPC and clock speeds of upcoming CPU architectures such as Intel's Coyote Cove and AMD's Zen 6.

Intel Coyote Cove P-Core architecture will be featured on the

Another monitor maker just introduced its 1000+Hz gaming monitor for competitive gaming, and this one is a dual-mode monitor, too.

We have at least 3-4 monitor makers who have announced their 1000 Hz gaming monitor models in the past few months. HKC and its subsidiary, Antgamer, were the first vendors in China to introduce a 1000 Hz gaming monitor , and now it's Titan Army, which has teased its latest 1060 Hz offering

During a GTC 2026 session titled " ," NVIDIA showcased its Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technique once again.

Neural Texture Compression was showcased for the first time nearly three years ago and has been available via an SDK since early 2026 , but so far, no game developers have used it. Perhaps that is why NVIDIA has once again taken the chance to explain its potential benefits.

Senior DevTech Engineer Alexey Bekin described Neural Texture Compression as a machine learning approach for storing textures more efficiently .
