The Elegoo Centauri Carbon , a budget-friendly Core XY 3D printer has been popular in 2025. It seems that in 2026, Elegoo will launch the Centauri Carbon 2, which, according to the official images, has a multi-material system (AMS / MMU depending on brand) for multi-color printing.
Price and release date are still a mystery. The only vague date that we have is Q1 2026 which
A growing dispute inside one of Europe’s largest chipmakers is threatening to derail automotive production across the continent just as the industry begins to recover from years of semiconductor supply instability.
Netherlands-based Nexperia halted shipments of silicon wafers to its Chinese backend facility in October. The internal freeze follows the Dutch government’s October decision to seize control of the company, oust its China-based CEO , and impose tighter oversight over operations. That move, prompted by what officials
The launch of Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform for AI and HPC next year could mark significant changes in the AI hardware supply chain as Nvidia plans to ship its partners fully assembled Level-10 (L10) VR200 compute trays with all compute hardware, cooling systems, and interfaces pre-installed, according to J.P. Morgan (via @Jukanlosreve ). The move would leave major ODMs with very little design or integration work, making their lives easier
IBM has detailed its most significant quantum computing advances to date, revealing new hardware and software designed to push the limits of what today’s superconducting qubits can do. The announcements, made during IBM’s Quantum Developer Conference on November 12, include a new 120-qubit chip, updates to the Qiskit software stack, and a testbed architecture for running quantum error correction in hardware. Together, the new tools represent a serious step forward on the path to fault-tolerant
In Austin, Texas, a former 1980s chip plant is being refitted into a next-generation research foundry. Backed by $1.4 billion from the Department of Defense under DARPA’s Next-Generation Microelectronics Manufacturing (NGMM) program, the facility will concentrate on 3D heterogeneous integration (3DHI), assembling multiple chip types and materials in a single package to push beyond the limits of conventional silicon design.
The ultimate goal of this project is to close
Despite the recent massive price increases for RAM that have shocked enthusiasts, manufacturers aren’t expected to meaningfully increase production of standard memory to offset the demand from the AI industry. According to TrendForce , memory makers are limiting their capital expenditure on building additional capacity, instead focusing on research and development of process technology, improving density through stacking, and the far more lucrative HBM chips for AI accelerators (HBM requires more wafers to produce than standard memory types).
The three biggest
A Redditor has observed what, at best, might be classed as unexpected behavior precipitated by the AMD chipset drivers. Takia_Gecko has uncovered a bug/feature in AMD's drivers that causes a system log file to be repeatedly appended as on-screen windows are moved and/or rescaled. Undoubtedly, this is happening, but the most important question is whether it is a mountain or a molehill, and that is yet undetermined. Are the observed rapid, constant file writes
It’s not Black Friday just yet, but Amazon is already slashing prices on a full range of electronics, including MSI gaming monitors. Right now, you can pick up this 27-inch MSI QD-OLED monitor for just £399 , netting you a top display with a great set of specs while saving you a whopping £200 in the process.
A pound under £400 is an incredible price
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman released an internal memo last September 2025, stating that he plans to build up to 250 gigawatts of compute capacity by 2033. According to Truthdig , this is equivalent to the electricity required to power the entire nation of India and its 1.5 billion citizens. It would also emit twice the carbon dioxide that ExxonMobil produces, which the report says is the current “largest non-state carbon emitter” in the world.
There are deals in every direction at the moment as we lurch ever-forward to the massive Black Friday sales extravaganza, and speaking of massive, today's deal is on one rather large Hard Disk Drive. The Seagate BarraCuda Compute 24TB HDD is marked down to just $249.99 at Newegg, a superb price for a large storage drive, especially with the recent price rises across the board on RAM, memory, and storage.
