The newly optimized AMD EXPO ULL RAM sticks are going to cost an arm and a leg, as if the standard variants weren't expensive enough.
Expensive DDR5 memory kits are already making it extremely difficult to build a PC or upgrade the existing RAM capacity, but it looks like the newly optimized RAM sticks are going to make this even more difficult. AMD's EXPO ULL memory kits, which are currently the best option for the AMD AM5 platform, have started to appear on major retailers, but these
The first half of 2027 will be filled with powerful computing products from Apple, with the latest report stating that a redesigned 14-inch M7 MacBook Pro and the 11-inch and 13-inch M7 iPad Pro refresh will arrive in the same period. The M6 MacBook Pro is expected later this year, and apart from a chipset upgrade, there’s pretty much nothing else that’ll be changed about the portable Mac.
Starting with the 11-inch and
Korean chip manufacturing giant Samsung is developing simulation technologies for lithography that rely on quantum computing and artificial intelligence, suggests a report from the Korean press. The technology will be used to run simulations of the first stage of the chip manufacturing process, and Samsung will also rely on artificial intelligence to streamline the process. Through the technology, the firm aims to reduce the time and cost of the lithography and etching processes.
In the semiconductor manufacturing process, lithography is the first and most important step . It involves high-end machines
The U.S. federal class-action lawsuit has placed Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron in the same colluding pool when it comes to holding responsibility for the DRAM shortage. Fortunately, these memory manufacturers know their way around legal loopholes, particularly Micron, which has announced a $250 million investment in Trump Accounts that will reach 1 million children. When it comes to appeasing the Trump Administration, large amounts like these can go a long way to allay court battles, as Apple has executed similar strategies in
The advanced semiconductor manufacturing segment is facing a shortage of high-purity CO2 , a critical compound required to make chips.
Last month, we reported that major semiconductor manufacturers were facing a shortage of Tungsten Hexafluoride or WF6 , a critical gas for advanced packaging processes required by HBM and 3D NAND technologies. The shortages stemmed from China cutting off the tungsten supply to Japanese gas producers.
Now, a second chemical compound is facing potential shortages. CO2, or Carbon Dioxide, is used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
Even though Elon Musk has promptly denied such reports, his prompt negation seems to have only fanned the flames of speculation around a supposed consumer-facing AI device that SpaceX-owned xAI is reportedly preparing to take on OpenAI's rival gambit.
While we already know that OpenAI is working on a number of consumer AI devices, SpaceX reportedly exhibited its own secretive device to a select group of investors ahead of its IPO last month, Elon Musk's speedy denial notwithstanding.
Let's start with the beginning of this
Wccftech recently attended an exclusive preview hosted by id Software about the upcoming campaign expansion DLC, Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations , set to launch on July 7 across all platforms.
Game Director Hugo Martin and Executive Producer Marty Stratton described this expansion of Doom: The Dark Ages as the culmination of 35 years of the Doom franchise history. Though technically classified as a DLC, Revelations delivers a massive, premium standalone-tier experience, offering 10 to 12 hours of gameplay , with Stratton pointing out that some
Earlier today, Sony abruptly informed the PlayStation community that no more physical discs would be produced starting January 2028.
While not entirely unexpected, this announcement certainly riled up PlayStation fans, and not in a good way, especially as it portends that the PlayStation 6 will only be discless . To clarify, Sony did not say that outright, but it's kind of implied given that they won't make any more discs right around the time the new console is expected to launch. Still, according to
With the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max just around the proverbial corner, and Apple already reducing the production cadence of its iPhone 17 lineup to cater to the upcoming Pro variants, we have officially entered the leaks bonanza season.
In keeping with this divulgatory trend, the latest supply chain-sourced tidbit has revealed a few juicy details about the battery capacities of Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max variants.
The tipster @fireuniverse8 has just posted a Weibo-sourced screenshot, detailing that the
A new UBS Evidence Lab has now cast a substantial pall over Apple's iPhone-related demand pillars. While the iPhone purchase intent has risen in the US, the UK, and Germany, it appears to have cratered in China, with the new Siri's upcoming AI features seemingly failing to spur demand, and compounded by a decline in the iPhone Ultra's net interest metric.
