SK hynix has published its DRAM roadmap at its SK AI Summit 2025. While the plans are displayed in a very general way and do not reveal important specifics, they still show the direction of DRAM technology evolution and approximate timelines of the emergence of new technologies. Naturally, since SK hynix demonstrated the roadmap at an AI event, it has a clear bias towards AI servers.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is currently the best CPU you can buy for gaming , offering outstanding performance that easily surpasses Intel’s best. A new leak now suggests that a more affordable alternative could be on the way in the form of the Ryzen 7 9700X3D . According to the PassMark benchmark database, the unreleased 3D V-cache-equipped processor has 8 cores and 16 threads and leverages the AM5 platform.

The

Thinking of moving on from Windows 10 to Windows 11 , or just want to play Battlefield 6? Then you’ll need to ensure your system is secure and meets Microsoft 's requirements. One of the Windows 11 requirements is Secure Boot. Here we'll show you how to enable Secure Boot as fast and easily as possible.

What is UEFI Secure

The Vectrex Mini console hit Kickstarter on Monday, as we foretold . It has been a rip-roaring success, with the project blasting past the €100,000 funding goal within 15 minutes. At the time of writing, the project has actually powered beyond €520,000 in backing, with over 2,600 backers pledging support. Remember, this is a modern remake of the legendary Vectrex vector-graphics

Google just announced that it’s exploring the idea of putting AI data centers into orbit to take advantage of the sun’s solar output for power. According to Google Research , Project Suncatcher aims to have a constellation of solar-powered satellites with Google TPUs that communicate optically. This would allow the company to run a power-hungry data center without requiring the massive infrastructure needed to build one on land.

Power is currently one of the bottlenecks of the AI infrastructure build-out

Modern high-end gaming PCs can have some incredibly powerful and electricity-draining components in them, with GPUs like Nvidia's RTX 5090 recommending at least a 1000W power supply to handle transient spikes and sustained power draw. Today at Newegg, you can find a great deal on a new 1000W power supply from ASRock that will save you a cool $50. Swap out that old PSU, or prepare for a new build

Cooling systems for AI servers are among the most power-hungry systems in an AI data center. According to SciTechDaily , Engineers from the University of California, San Diego, have created a brand new cooling technology using a specially engineered fiber membrane that could potentially reduce the amount of power consumption and water required for server racks full of AI GPUs.

The fiber membrane-based cooling system takes advantage of evaporative cooling to remove heat from the component(s) it is cooling. The membrane is

There are a few things in life that no mortal can ever have enough of: cheese, storage, and perhaps, USB ports. Too long have we suffered through manufacturers' reluctance to give us what we really want, and the dream becomes particularly painful when you realize it's actually feasible. In a somewhat bizarre (exciting, really ) video shared on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit, a user has shown off a bunch of

A startup founded by an array of experts from Harvard, Yale, University of Maryland, Cadence, and Texas Instruments has come out of stealth to present a breakthrough device for the non-invasive, non-destructive 3D imaging of semiconductors and batteries.

EuQlid’s Qu-MRI platform combines diamond-based quantum sensing, advanced signal processing, and machine learning to scan chips non-destructively and quickly uncover hidden defects, even on the production line. EuQlid’s innovation could “
