Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

AMD and Arena recently announced their collaboration on this AI-accelerated venture in which they will harness AI models […]
Acer has launched its latest Predator BiFrost and Nitro series GPUs based on the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT series. Acer Radeon RX 7800 XT & 7700 XT GPUs Now Available In Custom Predator BiFrost & Nitro Flavors Acer's entrance into the DIY GPU market has been recent, but the company gained traction with its Intel Arc lineup, the firm finally decided to step into Team Red's camp with the relatively low-tier Radeon RX 7600. The company recently released its Radeon RX 7900 GRE OC Predator BiFrost GPU and is now expanding its lineup with the […]
Chinese customs have yet again intercepted another GPU smuggling attempt, halting the transfer of 44 units and several other components. Customs Authorities Find a GPU Smuggling Attempt Amid Inspection, 44 Refurbished GPUs Recovered Which Were Going To Be Sold As New The tales of smuggling PC components have been extended, especially considering the events we have seen in China over the past year. Some of them are weird" smuggling attempts ranging from processors being smuggled in a prosthetic belly to even beneath car engines. Such attempts are made only to evade taxation when transporting goods across the states since individual retailers […]
AMD is reportedly going to utilize Samsung's 4nm process node for the development of low-end APUs and Radeon GPUs. Samsung 4nm Process Node Reportedly Utilized By AMD's Next-Gen Ryzen APUs & Radeon GPUs The rumor comes from @Tech_Reve who states that AMD is expected to utilize Samsung's 4nm node to power some of its client-side products including Ryzen APUs and Radeon GPUs. Citing "Reliable sources", it is projected that AMD will rely more on Samsung's Foundries in the future which might have to do with TSMC's fabs being booked out entirely due to huge demand from other segments such as […]
NVIDIA is expecting a steady CoWoS packaging supply for its Blackwell AI GPUs as its CEO sees optimism in the supply chain. NVIDIA Significantly Improves Supply Chain For Blackwell AI GPUs, Not Going To Be A Repeat of Hopper Chips We are all aware of how the debut of NVIDIA's previous Hopper H100 GPUs came with a massive order backlog in the supply chain due to the low production capacities of packaging facilities. This created a huge problem for NVIDIA since they were struggling to meet the massive AI market demand, ultimately creating gaps for competitors to fill in. It […]
NVIDIA's Blackwell AI GPUs unveiled at GTC 2024, will cost a hefty price for potential buyers, as the firm is estimated to have poured several billion dollars into the project. NVIDIA's Blackwell AI GPUs Have Cost The Company a Hefty Amount, But The Returns Are Expected To Be Phenomenal The Blackwell AI GPUs by NVIDIA are the next big deal in the industry, replacing the Hopper H100 & H200 platform in terms of market hype and demand. The new lineup's debut has seen great excitement among the markets and will undoubtedly catalyze the progression into the future. However, with all […]
NVIDIA just announced its Blackwell GPUs for AI and now eyes are all set on its gaming parts which are rumored to feature the same TSMC 4NP node. NVIDIA Blackwell AI Tensor Core & Gaming GPUs Might Share The Same TSMC 4NP Process Node, Big Cache & Throughput Improvements Expected It was previously expected that NVIDIA was going to leverage the TSMC 3nm process node for the gaming chip but that plan has seemingly changed as Kopite7kimi now states both Blackwell AI Tensor Core and Gaming GPUs to be fabricated on a very similar process node. Just a few hours […]
A new research paper has discovered the usefulness of DRAM cache for GPUs which can help enable higher performance at low power. Researchers Propose The Use Of Dedicated DRAM Caches Onto Newly-Built SCMs For GPUs, Replacing Conventional HBM Configuration The GPU industry, which involves consumer, workstation, and AI GPUs, is proceeding in a way that we are seeing advancements in memory capacities and bandwidth, but it isn't sustainable, and ultimately, we could hit the limits if an innovative approach isn't taken. We have seen GPU makers advance this segment by either incorporating large sums of secondary LLCs (Last Level Caches) […]
Nations barred from accessing NVIDIA's high-end AI chips seem to have discovered a workaround, as it is reported that Chinese researchers have used the H100s for multiple experiments. US Government Might Find It Difficult Preventing a Technology Transfer, As Hostile Nations Proceed To Capitalize on Policy Loopholes, NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs Among The List The new US policy refrains the "technology transfer" into hostile countries like China through every means possible, and just recently, the Biden administration imposed harsh regulations on the export of AI GPUs to prevent the rapid development of Chinese AI infrastructure. However, despite employing such strategies, […]
The PC GPU market has witnessed another positive quarter with shipments increasing by 6% in Q4 2023 to 76.2 million units, reports Jon Peddie Research. Notebooks Drive GPU Shipments To New Heights While Desktop (AIBs) Remain Stable During Q4 2023 The stats shared by the research firm show the total units reaching 76.2 million units during the previous quarter (Q4 2023) which is a 24% increase year over year, the largest gain over the past two and a half decades. Given the annual growth rate of 3.6% (2024-2026), it is expected that the total installed base of GPUs will reach […]
NVIDIA's supply chain of its AI accelerators has reportedly witnessed a massive improvement as the firm reduces delivery times drastically. NVIDIA's AI GPUs Delivery Times Reduced Significantly But Political Conflicts & Generational Lackings May Pose Financial Risks Moving Forward The news comes from UBS analysts, who have claimed that NVIDIA's efforts to diversify their supply chain have finally started to work out, as the firm has now reduced the wait time of its AI GPUs from 8-11 months to 3-4 months. The reason behind this significant cutback in delivery times hasn't been disclosed yet. Still, Team Green has been working […]
