AMD is apparently preparing another update to its mobile APU portfolio, which will be known as the Ryzen AI 400 and codenamed Gorgon Point. The manufacturer has not yet made an official announcement. However, the existence of the series is considered plausible, as corresponding references were discovered in an official chipset driver from AMD [...]
On a Sunday like today, just before the end of the year, the question of whether the DIY PC market could die out almost seems like a seismograph for something bigger, namely the state of an entire culture that has lived for decades on the fact that technology is not only consumed, but also understood, dismantled, improved and reassembled. I notice [...]
The technical development of VR headsets has shown an asymmetrical picture for years. While display resolutions have continuously increased, the field of view of most market-ready devices has remained largely unchanged. Conventional VR headsets continue to operate in the range of around 100 degrees horizontally and vertically. Solutions with a [...]
The global DRAM markets are facing an ongoing supply crisis: according to internal forecasts by one of the largest memory manufacturers, SK Hynix, growth in standard DRAM will lag behind demand until at least the end of 2028. What was previously perceived as a temporary bottleneck is developing into a structural problem, with far-reaching [...]
On December 10, 2025, Reuters reported that Nvidia had developed a software-based location verification feature that would indicate in which country AI accelerators are operating. Nvidia had not shown the function publicly in the months before, but in presentations; a broad product announcement was still missing at that time. At the same time [...]
A recent report by the Netzwerk Datenschutzexpertise network concludes that the payment service provider PayPal is allegedly in significant breach of key provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Payment Services Supervision Act. The analysis focuses in particular on the processing of transaction data for advertising purposes [...]
While Western governments tighten export restrictions and China propagates its technological independence, a classic power play between supply, demand and geopolitical tactics is taking place behind the scenes. According to an exclusive report by Reuters, Nvidia is currently considering expanding production of its H200 AI accelerators, not because [...]
The explosive growth in AI workloads in recent years has created an infrastructure complexity for which traditional monitoring tools are no longer sufficient. Operators of large data centers are now faced with a fundamental problem: millions of GPU clocks, watt budgets, thermal hotspots and firmware versions need to be monitored in real time [...]
The calendar week just ended was also characterized by several incidents that revealed significant weaknesses in the handling of IT security, data protection and the integrity of digital services. It is striking that the incidents are once again spread across a broad spectrum of industries and in many cases can be traced back to problems in the [...]
Traffic peaks, rising access figures and busy servers are still regarded by many organizations as indicators of high demand and economic success. In practice, however, the picture is increasingly different. A growing proportion of measured data traffic does not originate from real users, but from automated systems. Bots, scripts and AI-supported [...]
The political debate surrounding the export of high-performance chips to countries such as China has been given new fuel: NVIDIA has officially confirmed that it is working on a software solution that can be used to determine the physical location of an AI-accelerating GPU. The aim: to prevent chip smuggling in embargoed countries. The solution is [...]
Prices for DDR5 RAM and soldered derivatives such as LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X have been rising continuously for months. This development affects both the free component market and pre-configured systems from large OEM manufacturers. Market observations show that these are not short-term fluctuations, but rather a structural shortage in the DRAM segment [...]
A legal opinion prepared on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior concludes that US authorities can gain access to cloud data under certain legal conditions, even if it is stored in data centers within the European Union. The document was prepared by legal scholars at the University of Cologne and made publicly available as part of a [...]
The James Webb space telescope has documented a supernova whose light originates from a time when the universe was only around 730 million years old. The chronological classification is based on the distance measurement immediately after a gamma-ray burst registered on March 14, 2025. This gamma-ray burst was classified as GRB 250314A and provided [...]
The internal markings in current software builds indicate a change in the orientation of the upcoming iPad 12. The data suggests that Apple is not using older SoCs for the entry-level model as it has done in the past. Instead of a two-stage or three-stage generation shift, the available code points to a significantly more modern hardware basis [...]
AMD has released a major update for its graphics card software with the Adrenalin 25.12.1 driver. The most important component of this driver is the official support of FSR “Redstone”, an ML-supported upscaling technology that will be made available on Radeon graphics cards of the RX 9000 family. At the same time, AMD addresses various [...]
The popular monitoring software HWiNFO remains true to its unofficial role as an early indicator for new hardware: With the new version 8.35 (currently still available as a beta), the tool officially lists Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake H and HX processor families for the first time, supplemented by support for Arrow Lake Refresh and other [...]
RemoveWindowsAI is a PowerShell-based tool designed to disable all AI features currently included in the Windows 11 stable branch. The increasing integration of AI modules in Windows 11, especially since version 25H2, means that several system components work automatically or semi-automatically and are deeply integrated into the user interface and [...]
While the embedded market has been satisfied with incremental progress for years, AMD is now forging ahead with a much more ambitious approach: The new EPYC Embedded 2005 series brings Zen 5 performance in a compact space, targets high availability and energy-efficient continuous load and at the same time represents a direct challenge to [...]
For a long time, Windows in the gaming sector stood for large tower PCs, heavyweight setups and maximum performance at the expense of mobility. But 2025 marks a clear turning point: the operating system has changed noticeably, from a desktop-heavy platform to a versatile ecosystem that is moving towards mobility, graphical efficiency and smart [...]
