According to an internal email from fall 2024, an Nvidia infrastructure specialist labeled Microsoft’s cooling approach for new GB200 Blackwell GPU racks as “wasteful.” The critique centers on a building-level system that uses air instead of water, a design Microsoft defends for its flexibility and
A new leak suggests Apple’s next low-cost iPad might get a surprising chip upgrade. The iPad 12, expected in early 2026, could use the current A19 chip instead of an older one. This would be a first for the budget iPad line in nearly a decade.
A UK-Canada tech partnership is developing a new optical engine aimed at slashing the power consumption of AI data centers. The project, funded with £400,000 from UKRI, is the first major collaboration from a photonics MoU signed earlier this year. The hardware will be tested in Bristol and on the i
A brand-new company, Unconventional AI, just landed a staggering $475 million seed round at a $4.5 billion valuation to build novel computers for AI. Meanwhile, AI funding is booming across legal tech, customer service, and even chemical discovery. The money is chasing both new hardware paradigms an
According to testing by XDA-Developers, MX Linux Fluxbox is outperforming Windows for reviving old hardware. It runs on systems with as little as 2GB of RAM and uses a staggeringly low 500MB of memory at idle. The distro, based on Debian Trixie, offers long-term support and a functional desktop, mak
According to a new report, Lenovo is working on a gaming laptop with a rollable OLED screen that expands horizontally. The Legion Pro Rollable could debut as soon as CES 2026 in a few weeks. This follows the company’s earlier vertical rollable screen in the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6.
Nvidia has locked in dates for its next GPU Technology Conference. GTC 2026 will run from March 15th to 18th in San Jose, with CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote on the 16th. The focus will be squarely on the Vera Rubin AI architecture and the future Feynman GPU.
A new report highlights four common PC upgrades that look great on paper but make almost no difference in daily use. From blazing-fast SSDs to 240Hz monitors, the promised performance often fails to materialize for most users. The real bottleneck is rarely the component you think it is.
Nvidia’s latest driver update marks the end of full Windows support for its older GTX 900 and 1000-series graphics cards. These GPUs will now only receive quarterly security patches until October 2028. This move significantly impacts the long-term viability of these cards for modern gaming.
Patent activity in gallium nitride (GaN) technology is booming, driven heavily by Chinese innovation. A key highlight from Q3 2025 is a US collaboration developing “phonon bridge” layers to solve critical heat issues in high-power devices.
