One might assume that chip makers are taking a beating in revenue because of the global shortage of silicon, but that is not the case.

In the lead-up to that day, memory makers are hustling their tails off manufacturing and validating DDR5 memory modules. As part of that process, Kingston has sent overclockable DDR5 modules to its motherboard partners so they can begin

We know from a recent Twitter post by Intel’s Pete Brubaker that it won’t be too terribly long before Intel’s Xe-HPG DG2 gaming GPU is released—to use his words, it’s “right around the corner.” Following up on that, an interesting leak emerged today, highlighting a mix of DG2 GPUs for both mobile and desktop, with up to 512 execution units

When other manufacturers (including Ferrari with the F8 Tributo) downsize their engines and add twin turbos to boost power and efficiency, the 812 Competizione is doing things the old-fashioned way via natural aspiration.
