Starcloud is already launching an AI-equipped satellite featuring an Nvidia H100 GPU into space next month. Still, it plans to build a 5-gigawatt data center eventually, and Rendezvous Robotics can be key to achieving that. Speaking to Ars Technica , co-founder Phil Frank said, "Our mission is to build things that are going to be useful in space."
Data centers have become the new gold rush in the wake of the AI boom, with proponents
AMD’s latest and most powerful consumer-grade GPU, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, is currently our top pick for the best gaming GPU of 2025. While most variants have been selling well above the original $599 MSRP, the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT appears to be the first model listed at that price. Originally priced at $649, Newegg is now offering the GPU at a $50 discount
Orico, a Chinese tech company specializing in storage solutions, has entered the mini PC market with its Omini line of desktop PCs. According to IT Home [Machine Translated], the company is launching two new models — the Omini Plus and the Omini Pro. The former closely resembles the Mac Mini, while the latter looks like a shrunken Mac Pro, but AMD Ryzen chips power both.
The Pro mini PC uses high-grade aluminum for its PC case and features a “cheese grater
Atari has released a hard-to-ignore new console in striking, vivid yellow livery. The bold, (perhaps overly) bright edition of this console is meant to celebrate a special collaboration with Plaion Replai and Namco to bring retro gaming fans the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition .
Beijing has just allowed companies to apply for exemptions from its Nexperia export ban, allowing those relying on its chips to resume orders finally. China previously banned exports from the company's local subsidiary about a couple of weeks ago, in response to the Dutch government seizing control of the chipmaker from its Chinese parent, Wingtech. According to the South China Morning Post , the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) will consider exemptions as automakers worldwide experience disruptions .
Although Nexperia isn’t as
The Intel Core i9-14900K might be a generation old at this point, but surprisingly, it is still the fastest gaming CPU that Intel currently has to offer. With that title in its possession, the Core i9-14900K is definitely the CPU that Intel would want to pit against AMD’s cache-laden
AMD’s latest Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 driver release has caused quite a stir among users, but the company has now issued important clarifications. While the update moves Radeon RX 5000 (RDNA 1) and RX 6000 (RDNA 2) graphics cards into "maintenance mode", AMD has confirmed that these GPUs, along with discrete and handheld devices based on the same architectures, will continue to receive day-zero game support and essential
Microsoft released the original Xbox back in 2001, a whole year after Sony debuted the PS2, but what we saw at launch was a very different console from what was first showcased. The initial design was starkly different—a metal monolith built literally in the shape of an "X"—and served only as a proof-of-concept. It was unique, expensive, and most importantly, unlike a PC, but it never left the
An awesome custom gaming PC built into a microwave might be our favorite-ever 'kitchen gadget.' This is an All-in-One PC design, with the microwave window filled by a monitor panel. Other neat integrations include adding a Stream Deck where the microwave keypad usually resides. The microwave door still opens, with the turntable is used as a rotating motherboard tray.
There were lots of interesting topics discussed in the recent Ubuntu Summit, but one in particular might just tickle the fancy of most any techie above 30: the story of how Doom was actually running in space. Programmer Ólafur Waage recounted the tale of when his team took part in the European Space Agency's hacking challenge and got the seminal game running on a satellite.
The satellite in question was the now-decommissioned OPS-SAT "flying laboratory," whose sole purpose
