Look at the numbers involved in AI cloud investment and data center buildout, and the stats are astonishing. The Magnificent 7 tech companies – the biggest tech giants in the world – have collectively invested more than $100 billion in data centers and other infrastructure in the last three months alone. The majority of that comes from four of the seven: Microsoft , Meta, Amazon , and Alphabet.
That spending is having an outsized effect on the economy. Jens Nordvig, the founder of
The RTX 5080 Noctua Edition is one of the most overbuilt RTX 50 series graphics cards on the market, featuring three NF-A12x25 G2 fans installed above a massive heatsink boasting 11 heatpipes. Such a design would logically have been perfect for an RTX 5090 model, and according to Kitguru, Noctua thinks so as well. However, it turns out Nvidia is the bottleneck preventing an RTX 5090 Noctua Edition from
I primarily use my desktop when working from home. And I have am Anker dock at the office so I can plug my laptop into my 4K monitor and peripherals with just one cable. But I also use my laptop at home at my standing desk, where it's also handy to have a dock so I can plug into my TV and any peripherals I might be testing.
That's where something like Baseus' Joystar 9-in-1 docking station could come in
The last two weeks have been hard for the Arch Project, which has been experiencing a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, causing service outages for the popular Linux distribution as documented by Arch maintainer Cristian Heusel in a recent update.
Heusel's post states, "The Arch Linux Project is currently experiencing an ongoing denial of service attack that primarily impacts our main webpage, the Arch User Repository (AUR), and the Forums."
The 16-pin (12VHPWR) power connector has experienced meltdowns on some of the best graphics cards . Nevertheless, these unfortunate incidents have predominantly been reported on Nvidia's graphics cards — until now. Reddit user Savings_Opportunity3 has reportedly documented what appears to be the first case of a 16-pin meltdown involving an AMD graphics card.
Not many mainstream AMD graphics cards use the 16-pin power connector. The Radeon RX
Following a turbulent summer that saw sales of Nvidia's China-only HGX H20 AI chip banned and then unbanned in China, the AI GPU now faces an uncertain future. A new report suggests that Nvidia is abruptly stopping production of the HGX H20, which Nvidia has responded to in a statement provided to Tom's Hardware . This comes soon after reports earlier this week that Nvidia is preparing a successor to the chip, the Blackwell Ultra-based B30
The White House is reportedly considering using $2 billion of CHIPS Act funds for investments in rare-earth mining and processing within the U.S. According to Reuters , the Trump administration wants to use the already existing funds that the Biden administration has allocated for semiconductor investments so that it doesn’t have to request additional funding from Congress for this initiative.
Although not exactly directly related to chip manufacturing or research and development, these critical minerals are crucial to the electronics and defense industries.
People love a good revenge story. A character with a particular set of skills (and appropriately chiseled cheekbones) seeking revenge against someone who wronged them is enough to get practically any movie or show green-lit. But a software engineer who used his skills against his former employer has learned the hard way that neither law enforcement nor a jury of his peers find vengeance as compelling as Hollywood. In fact it landed him with four years in prison.
The engineer in question is Davis Lu.

AMD has commented on the leak of its FSR 4 source code along with the release of its new FidelitySDK earlier this week, confirming that it was indeed accidental. It has since pulled the files down from the GPUOpen Github, but that may not matter. When they were originally released, it was under the MIT license, effectively allowing anyone who downloaded them to use, copy, or modify them as they wish. Taking the files down doesn't change the license, it merely prevents
