Well-known engineer Matthias Balwierz (aka Bitluni) designed and created an 8,192-core RISC-V GPU at home.

Surging demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI servers has driven shortages and sharp price increases for conventional memory, while microcontroller (MCU) suppliers have also begun passing higher costs on to customers. Apple raised prices for certain Mac and iPad models in late June, and market rumors suggest the upcoming iPhone 18 could see price increases of as much as 30%.

With supply chain inventory normalization largely complete, Sonix Technology (Sonix) has seen business momentum recover. The MCU supplier is benefiting from resilient demand for microcontrollers used in medical monitoring devices and steady shipments of multimedia image-processing chips, giving it better order visibility for 2026 than in previous years. Meanwhile, the company's drone business has

Microcontroller customers are accelerating shipments into the first half of 2026 as higher production costs ripple through the supply chain, with global implications for electronics pricing and availability. Industry sources said buyers are seeking to secure supply before further increases, while weak demand and AI-related capacity pressure continue to shape the market.
