Earlier this week, Dell was wrongly flagged for charging even more than Apple for memory upgrades in their laptops, which later turned out to be a misinformed call; nevertheless, Framework was quick to pounce on the opportunity and call out fellow vendors, while warning its own RAM price hikes to follow soon.
We are going to need to increase our memory pricing soon, but we won’t use this as an excuse to gouge customers like @Dell apparently has and that @
Bambu Lab, one of the biggest names in 3D printer manufacturing, and one of our favorites, is having an all-out end-of-year sale to top the year off. The company has rolled straight into December with huge discounts on its entire range of 3D printers, accessories, and bundles, and you could score a huge saving on one of these deals. The sale is running until January 5, 2026, but there'
The U.S. government has formally approved the export of Nvidia’s high-performance H200 AI chips to China, reinstating access to a class of silicon previously barred under national security rules. Sales will be allowed to select Chinese customers pending government review, and each chip must be routed through U.S. territory for inspection and accompanied by a 25% import duty. The move ends a freeze that ultimately led to Nvidia losing its entire Chinese market
A new report claims that DeepSeek has illegally obtained and operated "several thousand" Nvidia Blackwell GPUs in the process of training and developing its newest large language model. According to coverage by The Information , six unnamed sources all claim DeepSeek's involvement in a convoluted smuggling ring based around the use of fake data centers as fronts to move high-powered servers into mainland China, illegally circumventing U.S. sanctions on newer AI GPUs.
Sources close to the matter allege that
China convened emergency meetings with its largest technology companies on Wednesday, December 10, to assess how many of Nvidia’s H200 accelerators they intend to buy, following President Donald Trump’s decision to allow exports of the chip to "approved customers" in the country. Representatives from Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent were asked to provide demand forecasts for the H200, according to reporting by The Information , as regulators consider whether to permit purchases and how to
Despite the best efforts of the U.S. government to prevent Chinese entities from obtaining the latest AI and HPC processors developed in America, Chinese companies still manage to get them by either smuggling them to the People's Republic or by installing them in a nearby country to use them remotely. To put an end to this, U.S. legislators proposed to install tracking devices on AI processors , such as Nvidia's Blackwell, to disable them remotely if they are used illegally
I've recently been putting some systems together on behalf of some friends for Christmas presents, and getting hold of just the RAM alone has been a bit of a nightmare. Trying to find the DDR5 6000MHz memory kits you want on sale, in stock, or priced less than a black-market kidney has been difficult. Twice, already, I've recommended buying a prebuilt PC (which is not something I'd normally do when building them myself

The U.S. can now export Nvidia's H200 AI accelerator to China, with a 25% fee attached . However, following the authorization of the chips, a new report suggests that the decision was made to ensure American tech dominance globally. Reportedly, a major part of the decision is Huawei's recent advancements with its CloudMatrix 384 and Ascend 910C systems, which are on par with both the H
