Montage Technology , one of China's many fabless semiconductor companies, has launched the new Jintide C6P series of server processors. The C6P chips, based on Intel's Granite Rapids platform with additional security and tracking features, are designed explicitly for the Chinese market.
Montage Technology, along with China's renowned Tsinghua University, struck a special deal with Intel back in 2016. Under the chip venture, Montage Technology could reconfigure Intel's Xeon
We're continuing to track a fantastic run of great SSD deals that have seen some seismically low prices on Samsung's great 9100 and 990 Pro SSDs, notably heatsink models. Now, B&H Photo has entered the fray and is serving up a return to the lowest-ever price on the 4TB 990 Pro not seen since November 2023. The drive is $269, with an extra $20 coupon
Prompted by the recent launch of the Alien: Earth series on FX/Hulu, electronics hobbyist Rob Smith has built a ‘fully working M314 Motion Tracker’. This project has been a long time on the drawing board, 10 years apparently, but Smith has now committed to this Raspberry Pi -powered device, which he claims can “actually track motion up to about 15 meters.” Of course, you won’t know what is moving, just like
Last week saw major twists in China's AI landscape: Trump imposed a 15% sales tax on AMD and Nvidia hardware sold to China , Beijing froze new Nvidia H20 GPU purchases over security concerns, and DeepSeek dropped plans to train its R2 model on Huawei’s Ascend NPUs — raising doubts about China's ability to rely on domestic hardware for its AI sector.
As part of its recurring five-year strategic plans, China's long-stated goal
China has mandated that all domestic data centers begin using more Chinese-produced processors as part of an increasing initiative to make China self-sufficient when it comes to silicon, as reported by SCMP . This comes at a time of enormous global investment in datacenters, AI, and processor production , with an increased drive towards self-sufficiency and nationalistic stances on cutting-edge technology.
Moving forward, publicly-owned Chinese datacenter firms will reportedly be required to source more than 5
A few months ago, popular enthusiast der8auer took a look at the RTX Titan Ada , an unreleased card from Nvidia's Ada Lovelace lineup that was supposed to take full advantage of the AD102 GPU, purportedly featuring 18,432 cores and 48 GB VRAM. While this card never made it to market, a working prototype of it featuring dual 12VHPWR connectors does exist . And, today, we get to see
Raspberry Pi has today announced the release of a smaller version of the recently released Raspberry Pi Touch 2 Display. Shrinking from a 7-inch to 5-inch display, the new screen has the same resolution as its predecessor, 720 x 1280 (portrait) but it comes in at only $40, unlike the $60 price tag for the larger model.
The UK’s Royal Navy has shared an update on its progress in the development and testing of a large unmanned submarine. The new submarine drone is actually ‘extra large’ at 12m (~40ft) and is thus classed as an Extra Large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV). One of the headlining abilities of this unmanned vessel, aptly dubbed Excalibur , is the ability to control it while it is “submerged on the other side of the world.
Josef Prusa, Founder and CEO of Prusa Research, declared “open hardware desktop 3D printing” is dead. It’s a shocking statement coming from a man with the Open Source logo tattooed on his forearm. But it’s also true. Prusa cites the rise of China's 3D printing industry and the country's permissive patent system as a key pain point.
Prusa recently outlined his thoughts on the demise of Open Source Hardware , something he has
Defense startup SkyDefense LLC just launched an autonomous combat drone designed to take out enemy drone swarms at a much lower cost than traditional weapon systems. The company calls it the CobraJet — an uncrewed aerial vehicle (basically, a drone) designed for C-UAS (counter-unmanned aircraft system) missions. The drone combines Teledyne FLIR electro-optical and infrared sensors that do not contain restricted foreign parts, and Nvidia AI chips , allowing the drone to process the information that it sees with
