Nvidia's RTX6000D, the China-first card initially designed to fill the void left by the banned (and then unbanned) Nvidia H20 , has received very little interest in China, according to Reuters, amidst ongoing trade tensions. Estimates by JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley suggest Nvidia may be on track to produce between 1.5 and 2 million of these GPUs before the end of the year, potentially leaving it sitting on a huge stack
Desktop GPU roadmap: Nvidia Rubin, AMD UDNA & Intel Xe3 Celestial
The GPU landscape has been buzzing with fresh offerings from all three major desktop GPU brands: Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. All three major manufacturers have completed their current family of GPUs, so we can expect more variants or refreshes in the future.
With the mid-range offerings from both Nvidia and AMD recently hitting the market in the form of the RTX 5050 and RX 9060 , both Team Green and Red now have their eyes set on future architectures and
Start-up hails world's first quantum computer made from everyday silicon — fits in three 19-inch server racks and is touted as 'quantum computing's silicon moment'
A UK start-up says that it has built the world’s first full-stack quantum computer using the same silicon chip technology used in laptops and phones, and it has already been installed at the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC).
Quantum Motion, a 2017 spinout from University College London and Oxford, unveiled the three-rack system on September 15 as part of a government-backed push to commercialize scalable quantum hardware. Built entirely

Google terminates 200 AI contractors — 'ramp-down' blamed, but workers claim questions over pay and job insecurity are the real reason behind layoffs
Google has laid off over 200 contractors who worked on improving its AI product offerings, Gemini, and search AI overviews, according to Wired . Some were told it was part of a "ramp-down" on the project they were working on, but others believe it was due to complaints made over pay and working conditions. These laid-off contractors join hundreds of other AI-related contractors who have been fired from other major AI firms like xAI and Meta
Nvidia tipped to be TSMC's first 16A customer, ahead of Apple — Feynman GPUs could make full use of GAA transistors and backside power
Nvidia will be the first customer to use TSMC’s A16 node, a 1.6nm-class process that marries gate-all-around (GAA) transistors with backside power delivery, according to China's Commercial Times . This is no small change in tradition: For more than a decade, Apple has been the one to break in each new process node from TSMC, with its iPhone SoCs serving as the high-volume anchor
Researchers embed digital 'fingerprints' into 3D printed parts — tech may make future ghost guns more traceable
Netanel Raviv and a team at the McKelvey School of Engineering (part of Washington University in St. Louis) are continuing to develop a way to embed traceable digital 'fingerprints' into 3D-printed objects.
Initially reported by 3D Printing Industry , the markers are designed in a way to be detectable, even if the printed object has been broken, because they can be identified with just a fragment
China's entry-level GPU with AMD RX 550-level of performance is ready for tapeout — Loongson 9A1000 is finally off the drawing board and headed to fabs
Having started its development in 2023, Loongson Technology's 9A1000 graphics card is one step closer to the finishing line. According to Chinese media outlet ITHome , the development of the 9A1000 has been completed, and the graphics card will begin tapeout in the third quarter of this year.

The board maker has announced its second iteration of the app, known as AI Quickset WSL , that further enhances the tool's capabilities. Giving users an environment that can easily deploy AI apps made specifically for Linux on Windows machines without dealing with a complicated setup process.
The app takes advantage of Microsoft 's WSL virtual compatibility
Is Borderlands 4 the new Crysis? Official GPU setting recommendations peg 4K performance with the RTX 5090 at 60 FPS, with DLSS and frame generation enabled
Video game publisher 2K Games has released an extensive list of recommended graphics settings for Borderlands 4 across Nvidia and AMD GPUs at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. These presets are said to offer players a reliable baseline, something that many found missing right after the game’s launch last week.
The official requirements for Borderlands 4 highlight just how demanding the game is across GPU generations, and the results aren’t flattering by any means.
