When the DDR5 specification was introduced in 2020, one of the things that impressed us was the headroom left for further development of the technology, both in terms of performance and in terms of per-device capacity. You can revisit our 2020 thoughts on DDR5 for a quick refresher.

Five years later, DDR5 has still not achieved everything that was specified in the original JEDEC document. In 2024 , the organization further enhanced performance

Intel isn’t the most obvious partner for Nvidia. The two companies have competed across consumer, data center, and AI markets for decades with no shortage of friction. But on a joint call on September 18, following news of an unexpected partnership , Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Intel chairman Lip-Bu Tan turned that dynamic on its head, announcing that Nvidia will invest $5 billion in Intel and begin using its packaging technology for an upcoming SoC line.

Why? Not

When it comes to gaming monitors, size isn't everything. WhIle it can definitely be more immersive to have a large screen, sometimes it just isn't as practical as having one with a smaller footprint. In those cases, it helps to lean into other specs and in the case of today's deal—you get plenty to work with. The Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQM1A monitor usually goes for around $329 but today it'

The Windows 11 you use today is still identified as "Windows NT" in some ways, and that's because its lineage extends all the way back to the venerable Windows NT. Version 3.5 is widely considered the most pivotal release for the "New Technology"

SoftBank successfully delivered end-to-end 5G connectivity to standard smartphones using an airborne base station , in a live field trial conducted in June, above Hachijō Island, Japan. The company used a light aircraft flying at 3,000 meters to simulate a high-altitude platform, linking ground infrastructure to devices via a 26 GHz feeder connection and a 1.7 GHz service link.

Unlike most “direct-to-device” projects that rely on satellites in

Software bugs can cause a lot of anxiety, inconvenience, and leech away valuable time, but thankfully they are rarely fatal. However, back in 1985 a radiation therapy machine called the Therac-25 was only just getting started on its human killing spree. There was a bug in its software which resulted in a deadly race condition, and at least six unfortunate individuals received doses

The sheer amount of times that people have received everything but the high-end GPU they ordered is frankly too absurd to count at this point. We've already seen metal blocks being delivered instead of a graphics card, pasta and rice packaged inside a 5090 box , and a 5070 Ti that was actually just a bag of salt . In comparison to that, receiving just a bland ol' brick instead of an

The new, reinvigorated Commodore has announced that its maiden product reached a significant milestone. A few hours ago, the official Commodore account on X shared evidence that the Commodore 64 Ultimate had eclipsed the 10,000 units sold milestone. The statement also offered profuse thanks to the community.

In an attempt to squeeze more performance out of their GPU, a user on Reddit has successfully flashed the BIOS of a Radeon RX 9070 XT onto their non-XT variant. As per a post by u/noVa_realiZe on the r/Radeon subreddit, they were pretty satisfied with the results, as their PowerColor RX 9070 Reaper gained an uplift of 25% in synthetic benchmarks, and around 8-12% while gaming
