NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER graphics card reportedly features a 415W TDP, which is slightly higher than its Non-Super sibling. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 SUPER series has remained in limbo ever since the first specifications were disclosed last year. This is due to several factors, such as prioritization of AI GPUs over the standard consumer chips, shortages in the DRAM segment, and a general

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090D from GALAX (HOF OC LAB) has become the first Blackwell GPU to hit an overclock of 4 GHz. It was going to happen sooner or later, but a year and a half after launch, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090D has been able to set the fastest clock speed ever recorded on a Blackwell GPU. Team OGS from Greece was able to post the spectacular overclock record at HWBOT. The session featu

AMD is releasing its first-ever SoCs with an on-package memory solution, the Versal Gen 2, which offers 10x compute uplift. [Editor's Note] The release of Versal Gen 2 marks the first SoC from AMD to feature an on-package memory solution. Compared to Versal Gen 1, the move to LPDDR5X memory comes at a time when the entire tech industry is facing DRAM shortages, and with the prices of HBM products

Samsung Electronics is all set to tackle Intel 14A and TSMC A14 with its own 1.4nm process technology, which should be ready in 2029. Intel and TSMC are one of the leading firms working on 1.4nm class process technologies. Although each technology is fundamentally different than one another, both are officially designated as 1.4nm products. TSMC's A14 fabs are expected to come online next year &

Samsung, SK Hynix & Micron are facing a class action lawsuit in the US as memory prices spiral out of control due to persistent shortages. Memory prices have reached a historical high due to ongoing shortages as demand continues to outstrip supply. The worst is yet to come, but as the situation continues to evolve, consumers are getting fed up and have filed a private class-action lawsuit in the

Micron says that it has locked in 16 memory customers in an unbreakable agreement, hinting that high prices will continue for several years. Memory prices for all sorts of DRAM components, including LPDDR, DDR, and HBM, are sky-high. This is due to the huge demand for memory generated by the booming AI segment. DRAM makers have been unable to keep up with demand for AI, and things are even worse

NVIDIA is going to retain its top position as TSMC's biggest customer in 2027, but AMD EPYC Venice could outpace its Vera CPUs. CPUs are quickly becoming the major consumer of advanced packaging technologies as their demand has grown proportionally with the rise of Agentic AI. So far, 2026 has been a roller-coaster ride for the entire tech segment, and 2027 is shaping up to be just as intense. In
