Raja Koduri continues to push his high bandwidth vision for computing, but this time it's flash, namely HBF (High-Bandwidth Flash) from Sandisk. On Wednesday, the former graphics architect at S3, Apple, AMD (twice), and Intel, announced that he had joined Sandisk’s HBF Technical Advisory Board to guide development and strategy for High-Bandwidth Flash memory technology. Sandisk also shared a press release confirming Koduri’s new role, as
Intel Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs could finally answer AMD's V-Cache — Nova Lake could boast massive 144MB L3
Intel is allegedly working on a large L3 cache for Nova Lake, something big enough to compete with AMD's 3D-VCache technology. The new cache pool is expected to offer 144MB of memory capacity.
Intel promises sweeping changes to combat stagnation with new foundry strategy, AI focus, and the return of Hyper-Threading — but losses threaten to curtail ambition
Intel on Thursday disclosed its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and made several announcements about its future. The company posted flat year-over-year revenue of $12.9 billion; however, losses deepened to $2.9 billion as gross margin declined further amid flat operating expenses. This is mostly due to charges associated with the company's restructuring. During the conference call, Intel also revealed its new strategies for AI, foundry, and x
Intel will cancel 14A and following nodes if it can't win a major external customer — move would cede leading-edge nodes to TSMC and Samsung
Intel may slow down or even cancel development of its 14A process technology (1.4nm-class) if it fails to land a major external customer for this production node, or if the fabrication process fails to meet crucial milestones. This is the first time Intel has admitted to considering withdrawing from the leading-edge semiconductor technology race for a major node, essentially leaving leading-edge process technologies to TSMC and possibly Samsung Foundry.

China is developing nation-spanning network to sell surplus data center compute power — latency, disparate hardware are key hurdles
After a rapid expansion left China with excess capacity of compute power in underused data centers, the country is reevaluating its approach to data center development. Authorities are now working on a national plan to regulate growth, optimize existing resources, and link facilities into a unified computing network that can sell unused compute power to those who need it, reports Reuters .
From boom to bust: Many Chinese datacenters sit idle, or underused
Driven by the 'Eastern Data, Western Computing' strategy, various startups
Lisuan G100 GPU shows promise, at least in OpenCL — homegrown Chinese chip outguns Arc A770 and RTX 4060 in new benchmark, 10% slower than RTX 5060
A new variant of Lisuan Technology's G100 graphics card has emerged in the Geekbench database.
Chinese companies allegedly smuggled in $1bn worth of Nvidia AI chips in the last three months, despite increasing export controls — some companies are already flaunting future B300 availability
Despite the U.S. desperately trying to block access to advanced AI chips from Nvidia and AMD, many Chinese companies still find a way to get them into their hands. According to a report from the Financial Times , at least a billion dollars’ worth of Nvidia B200s and other banned chips have been shipped to China ever since President Donald Trump banned the export of China-specific H20 GPUs (and the similarly performant AMD MI308 ) in
Act fast and grab a Nintendo Switch 2 from Walmart or Best Buy before they are gone
They've been as rare as Unicorns since launching, due to the massive demand for Nintendo's latest handheld gaming console. The Switch 2 has proven to be the must-have gaming item to own this year, with pre-orders and any stock evaporating in seconds from shelves and warehouses once the product went live. Although there have been regular restocks of the Switch 2, demand for the game console has remained high, and if you haven't stayed vigilant, the stock
Microsoft says China-based hackers exploiting critical SharePoint vulnerabilities to deploy Warlock ransomware — three China-affiliated threat actors seen taking advantage
Microsoft said that a hacking group it's tracking as Storm-2603 is exploiting critical vulnerabilities in the company's SharePoint platform to deploy ransomware.
SharePoint is "a secure, enterprise -grade content management and collaboration platform," according to Microsoft's website , which also describes it as a way to "securely collaborate, sync, and share content." (Essentially: organizations use it to build sites accessed via their intranets.) But those assurances
First AMD Strix Halo handheld gaming PC confirmed — GPD teases Ryzen AI Max+ 395 handheld in performance video
Portable and handheld PC stalwart GPD today teased the first AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered handheld. Moreover, in a short video clip shared on X, we get to see the device in action, with someone playing Black Myth: Wukong. We don’t get a summary chart accompanying the video, but this handheld appears to run this popular game at between 170 and 212 fps for the duration of the gameplay clip.
