Intel is creating a completely new EDAC driver for its upcoming Diamond Rapids server CPUs. The move comes as memory controllers transition from PCI devices to MMIO-based architecture, requiring a clean break from previous designs.
DDR5 memory prices are going absolutely insane. In South Korea, Samsung’s 16GB modules have tripled in price since August, creating ripple effects across the entire PC hardware market.
Samsung is implementing aggressive 60% price increases on memory contracts, following earlier 30% hikes from both Samsung and SK Hynix. The surge is driven by AI server demand consuming production capacity, with SK Hynix reporting its memory capacity is “essentially sold out” for 2026. Enterprises f
Samsung is supplying its cutting-edge 2nm GAA chips to Chinese cryptocurrency mining giants MicroBT and Canaan. The deals represent about 10% of Samsung’s total 2nm production capacity, with deliveries expected in late 2025. This marks a strategic move to diversify beyond traditional smartphone and
AMD continues its relentless march against Intel, capturing 33.6% of the desktop CPU market in Q3 2025. The company also grew its overall client x86 share to 25.4% and made gains in server and mobile segments. Intel’s lead continues to shrink despite still holding majority market share.
Nvidia’s earnings next Wednesday arrive at a critical moment for tech stocks. The AI chipmaker’s results could either revive the struggling AI trade or confirm investor fears about overvaluation. With Nvidia accounting for 8% of the S&P 500, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
ASUS co-CEO Shubin Hu warns that rising DRAM prices fueled by AI server demand will increase PC costs for everyone. The memory shortage could extend through 2035, compounding existing GPU and component constraints across the industry.
Tachyum is making bold claims about its upcoming Prodigy processor, saying it delivers 21x higher AI performance than NVIDIA’s future Rubin Ultra. The problem? Both chips are still in simulation, and Tachyum has never shipped actual silicon before.
AMD’s next-generation Zen 6 architecture promises game-changing improvements for server processors. The EPYC Venice lineup will leverage TSMC’s 2nm process technology and deliver unprecedented core counts. These gains could reshape the competitive landscape in data centers and enterprise computing.
AMD has officially revealed its Zen 6 and Zen 7 CPU roadmap. Zen 6 arrives in 2026 using TSMC’s 2nm process, while Zen 7 adds dedicated AI engines for 2027. The company is doubling down on both performance and artificial intelligence capabilities.
