At Computex earlier this year, Noctua showed off its first-ever AIO (all-in-one) liquid cooler intended for the mainstream market. Originally, the show floor specs stated the cooler would launch in the first quarter of 2026, but an updated roadmap on Noctua's website now tells us that release is planned for Q2 2026.

The yet-to-be-named liquid cooler from Noctua is based on Asetek'

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday unveiled a preliminary version of the annual defense policy package that includes a requirement for American developers of AI processors to prioritize domestic orders for high-performance AI processors before supplying them to overseas buyers and explicitly calls to deny exports of highest-end AI GPUs. The legislators call their initiative the Guaranteeing Access and Innovation for National Artificial Intelligence Act of 2025 (GAIN AI Act) and their goal is to ensure that American 'small businesses,

Memory startup d-Matrix is claiming its 3D stacked memory will be up to 10x faster and run at up to 10x greater speeds than HBM. d-Matrix's 3D digital in-memory compute (3DIMC) technology is the company's solution for a memory type purpose-built for AI inference.

High-bandwidth memory , or HBM, has become an essential part of AI and high-performance computing. HBM

Acer has unveiled its own version of Nvidia's Project Digits mini-supercomputer , the Acer Veriton GN100 AI Mini Workstation, which is geared toward developers, universities, data scientists, and researchers who need a compact and high-speed AI system. North American pricing starts at $3,999.

The Veriton GN100 is a compact mini-PC (measuring 150 x 150 x 50.5mm), that comes

A Microsoft -backed research team from Lumenisity (a spinout of the University of Southampton Optoelectronics Research Center) has built a hollow-core cable with what it claims is the lowest signal loss ever recorded in any optical fiber. Published in Nature Photonics on Sept. 1, the team claims to have achieved 0.091 dB/km at 1,550nm using a design known as double nested antiresonant nodeless fiber (DNANF).

This figure undercuts the ~0.

Researchers at Cornell have developed a new method of 3D printing that aims to improve the performance of superconductors. The new process manages to break records and shows promising alternative options for compound superconductor manufacturing. The team believes the technology can aid in fields that are particularly demanding, resource-wise, such as quantum computing .

The manufacturing process isn't exclusively handled by 3D printing, but 3D printing is a core component of the workflow. The team began by 3D printing a

One of the first laptops with Intel's upcoming Panther Lake processors showed up at IFA 2025 with little fanfare. At Acer's press conference in Berlin, we found the Swift 16 AI, using the upcoming chip based on Intel's 18A process.

OpenAI is scouting for partners to help it build a huge data center in India, according to Bloomberg . The data center will reportedly be on the gigawatt scale, which would make it one of the largest in the country. This comes at a time of increasing diplomatic tension between the U.S. and India over trade tariffs, but with OpenAI Sam Altman visiting India later this month, those close to the matter believe he may make the announcement official.
