The original PlayStation wasn’t built to be particularly compact, but later revisions like the PS One managed to get pretty small, while retaining CD media compatibility. However, console hacker Thedrew has managed to condense that already dinky PS One revision motherboard down to less than a quarter of its prior size. This custom PlayStation motherboard is the smallest ever made, according to Hackster , and perfectly timed to celebrate today

Tim at YouTube channel Monitors Unboxed has published another update on his ongoing burn-in testing of MSI's MPG 321URX OLED display. Tim revealed that the monitor is finally showing overall brightness degradation for the first time ever after 5000 hours of use, but on the flip side, the monitor's existing burn-in artifacts have only slightly worsened since his last update .

As a quick refresher, Tim started burning in his 321

Most folks in tech enthusiast circles have heard of - or own - a Steam Deck and have possibly even installed SteamOS-based Linux distributions like Bazzite or Chimera. The small but growing backlash against Windows 11 's strict hardware requirements and forced upgrades may have become evident in the latest Steam Hardware & Software Survey , which shows an all-time high of 3.20% for Linux.

That figure is a 0.15% rise in just one month

Last week, the first rumors emerged that AMD was considering increasing recommended prices of its graphics cards in response to climbing prices of GDDR6 memory. Today, a leak by @harukaze5719 on X/Twitter could indicate the magnitude of the increase that AMD is planning to implement. If the rumor holds true, the company could increase recommended prices of its Radeon RX graphics cards with 8GB of memory by $20 and graphics boards with 16GB of memory by

The White House said that it will once again delay the implementation of Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-made electronics, including motherboards, PC cases, and GPUs, from November 29, 2025, to November 10, 2026, delaying potentially higher graphics cards costs for another year. The delay was announced shortly after the U.S. and China agreed on a one-year tariff truce in late October, and the Office of the U

Prices on DDR5 are out of control , but Newegg has a bundle going that makes picking up a kit more bearable. The bundle brings together 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 CL36 memory, an MSI X870 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi motherboard, and a Corsair iCue Link H115i cooler for $409.98. That's $3 more than buying the memory alone

Although the performance of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has increased by an order of magnitude since its inception around a decade ago, many elements have remained fundamentally unchanged between HBM1 and HBM3E. But as the demands for bandwidth-hungry applications evolve, the technology must also change to accommodate them.

In new information revealed at TSMC's European OIP forum in late November, HBM4 and HBM4E will offer four major changes. HBM4 will receive a 2

AMD and HPE are expanding their long-running partnership with a new agreement that will bring the AMD Helios rack-scale AI architecture into HPE’s product portfolio from 2026 onward. This will give Helios its first major OEM backer and position HPE to ship complete 72-GPU AI racks built around next-generation Instinct MI455X accelerators, new EPYC “Venice” CPUs, and an Ethernet-based scale-up fabric developed with Broadcom.

Helios has

Taiwanese prosecutors have charged the Japanese semiconductor company Tokyo Electron with failing to prevent its staff from allegedly attempting to steal trade secrets from cutting-edge silicon wafer firm TSMC, as reported by Bloomberg . The prosecutors are targeting Tokyo Electron with charges of violating business secrets and national security laws, and are seeking a fine for its failings.

Although they stopped short of claiming that Tokyo Electron had made use of the proprietary technologies that its employees allegedly attempted to steal from TSMC, they
