What is emerging here is not a theoretical simulation, but a very real market shift with side effects. NVIDIA’s next AI platform, known internally and externally as Vera Rubin, could single-handedly tie up millions of terabytes of NAND flash, triggering a new storage shortage. Not sometime in the future, but starting in 2027. The technical […]

Researchers say they have solved a technical challenge that for decades was considered virtually impossible. They have developed a fully integrated robot with a computer, sensors, and drive system, whose overall dimensions are less than one millimeter, making it smaller than a grain of salt. The development was the result of a collaboration between the […]

Many users know FSP primarily as an established power supply manufacturer rather than a supplier of eye-catching lifestyle components. With the AE36, FSP is deliberately positioning itself in the segment of performance-oriented 360-millimeter AIO water cooling systems. The focus is clearly on functionality, thermal efficiency, and technical traceability rather than visual gimmicks. The central question […]

When a manufacturer doesn’t officially admit anything but quietly modifies its product, it’s usually more telling than any press release. This is exactly what’s happening right now with ASUS and the ROG Matrix RTX 5090 Limited Edition. Without any announcement or explanation, but with clearly visible technical changes, ASUS has modified the way liquid metal […]

The European telecommunications industry had high expectations for the planned Digital Networks Act. Large digital platforms such as Netflix, Google, and Meta were to contribute more to the costs of expanding the European network infrastructure, as their data-intensive services account for a significant portion of data traffic. However, based on the information currently available, it […]

For years, Apple and NVIDIA operated in clearly separate technological areas within TSMC‘s manufacturing and packaging capacities. Apple primarily used state-of-the-art manufacturing processes in combination with integrated fan-out technologies for its A and M series, while NVIDIA relied on older process nodes for its high-performance GPUs and AI accelerators, but used the particularly complex chip-on-wafer-on-substrate […]
