ASUS lowers the entry barrier for a feature that was previously reserved for high-end products. With the new X870-NEO series, NitroPath DRAM technology is making its way into the mainstream segment and is expected to increase effective DDR5 memory clock speeds by up to 400 MT/s. This is not magic or a marketing gimmick, but […]

The new year has already begun, and I wish all readers a healthy, happy, and successful 2026. CES is already underway, and there are a few things in the monitor sector that I will be taking a closer look at this year. I can already announce that much at this point. Today, however, we’re talking […]

RAM is currently what graphics cards were during the mining boom: expensive, scarce, and subject to market dynamics that have little to do with actual production costs. DDR5 is particularly affected by this. While 8 GB still cost €50 to €60 in the summer of 2025, comparable modules will cost €150 to €200 in early […]

Humanoid robots are considered the next stage in the evolution of automation. No longer confined to factory floors, they are now universal workers for household tasks, care, logistics, and industry. Trade fairs such as CES have been conjuring up this vision of the future for years. The reality is more sobering. Folding laundry works, but […]

What used to be considered brazen third-party software now comes factory-installed. MSI unveiled its fifth generation of OLED gaming monitors at CES 2026, sparking a debate that goes far beyond panel technology and response times. For the first time, a major manufacturer is shifting game-relevant AI functions directly into the hardware. For many gamers, this […]

When Jensen Huang talks about artificial intelligence, he doesn’t do so in the tone of an ethicist or regulator, but rather like someone standing in the middle of the engine room. In an interview with the No Priors podcast, the NVIDIA CEO has now openly criticized those he describes as drivers of a so-called “doomer […]

Wikipedia went online for the first time on January 15, 2001. The original aim of founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger was to supplement the online encyclopedia Nupedia, which was planned by specialist authors, with an open collaborative project. While Nupedia made little progress and was discontinued in 2003, Wikipedia quickly developed into one of […]

The dispute between Qualcomm and Apple in the field of energy-efficient high-performance processors continues with the latest round of benchmarks. In several synthetic CPU and GPU tests, the Snapdragon X2 Plus was unable to outperform the Apple M4, which has been available for some time. According to the available measurement results, Qualcomm’s current SoC lost […]

The global chip industry is currently experiencing a distortion that has rarely been seen even in previous boom cycles. Taiwanese contract manufacturer TSMC is at the epicenter of this development. Demand for advanced manufacturing processes is so high that customers are apparently willing to pay up to a 100 percent premium just to secure production […]

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 […]
