The Liberty Stadium in Ibadan got absolutely rocked by Zusk2dbeng over the weekend. He was the main act for DJ Snidzy's Nightlife Experience 6.0, playing for a hyped crowd of more than three thousand people who knew all the words. The Afrobeat artist called Ibadan the place that gave him his first ever stage, promising the city an unforgettable night. He also previewed a new track called Big God, his Christmas single set to drop near the end of the year.
That new song is apparently a thank-you note to his supporters. Zusk2dbeng described it as a beginning for his whole movement, a shoutout to everyone who has been riding with him from the start. The whole performance felt like a major moment, sealing his status as a legit phenomenon in...
The Eko Drive car show just wrapped up its fourth run in Lagos, and it's basically the main event for petrolheads and vibes now. They held it at the Alliance Française spot in Ikoyi, pulling in a crowd of gearheads, luxury car owners, bikers, and general lifestyle people. The founder, Ademide Osunsina, and the co-founders, Sanjo Morgan and Imran Claud-Ennin, run the thing. It showcased everything from classic rides and custom builds to modern luxury cars and even electric vehicles.
This wasn't just a parking lot full of shiny cars. The whole point is mixing auto culture with community and storytelling. Osunsina talked about building a passionate community where owners feel cool showing off their prized machines. Morgan said the goal...
Man, the memory game is wild right now. Samsung somehow clawed its way back in the HBM race after a rough start to the year, actually beating out Micron's market share last quarter. We're talking about their High Bandwidth Memory stuff, the chips that feed data-hungry AI processors. They finally got their tech, specifically HBM3 and the newer HBM3E, certified by the big dogs. Both AMD and NVIDIA are now customers, which is a huge deal after Samsung was lagging behind SK Hynix for a while. Counterpoint Research data showed Samsung grabbed 22 percent of the market in Q3, which is still behind SK hynix but finally ahead of Micron.
This whole comeback story is kinda funny because Samsung has massive production capacity, but totally fumbled...
NVIDIA might kill off the 16 GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti. New rumors say production could stop entirely because of skyrocketing memory prices. The company would supposedly keep making the cheaper eight-gig model instead. This move would free up GDDR7 memory supplies for more important cards like the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti.
Those mid-range models need twelve and sixteen gigs of VRAM to compete with AMD's upcoming offerings. Pausing the higher capacity 5060 Ti helps Nvidia prioritize its fight in that segment. The whole RTX 50 series lineup is apparently facing major production cuts due to component shortages. This would be a big shift, as the sixteen-gig 5060 Ti was seen as a solid value option under four hundred fifty dollars. None of...
That rumored Apple foldable phone might not be as crease-free as once hoped. A tipster says they are still testing different grades of ultra-thin flexible glass for the inner screen, trying to balance durability with a clean look. The technical challenges mean they have not perfected it yet, with several months of work likely needed.
Other Chinese phone makers are also experimenting with the same glass tech for their own wider foldable displays. Samsung's approach remains unknown. Apple apparently has time to sort this out, as the iPhone Fold is not expected until next September at the earliest. Some analysts even think shipments will not really pick up until the following year. The company seems determined to fix these design hurdles...
Someone tried running that new Capcom demo, PRAGMATA, on a Galaxy S23 Ultra. It did not go well. The phone hit a fatal DirectX error and crashed immediately. That handset runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which is a few years old now. The general consensus is that its graphics drivers are just too outdated and underpowered to handle the demo, which is built on Capcom's modern RE Engine.
Folks online think newer silicon, like the Snapdragon 8 Elite or its later variants, might stand a better chance. The game's full version is set for a late April release on consoles and PC. Capcom has not said anything about a mobile port, but they have gotten other RE Engine titles running on phones before. For now, trying to emulate this particular PC...
Samsung is making insane money from the memory shortage, with operating profits projected to hit seventy-three billion dollars in a couple of years. That windfall is purely a market fluke, though, not a sign of the company outmaneuvering rivals. Analysts say they are actually lagging in key areas like high-bandwidth memory production, their wafer foundry operations, and mobile products.
An industry expert noted their foundry business needs serious work to challenge TSMC's dominance. Samsung has a roadmap, targeting profitability by 2027 and scoring deals with clients like Tesla. Their new two-nanometer gate-all-around process, which will make the Exynos 2600 chip, is a step forward even with initially modest yields. Still, they face...
Moore Threads also dropped a new AI processor for PCs called Yangtze. This all-in-one chip has eight CPU cores running up to two point six five gigahertz and a neural unit rated for fifty trillion operations per second. It packs an integrated graphics unit for 3D rendering and a media engine handling 8K video with AV1 support.
The company showed two devices using the chip, an AIBook laptop and an AICube mini PC. These support up to sixty-four gigabytes of fast LPDDR5X memory. The SoC is designed for low-power operation while tackling AI tasks like speech and image recognition. It is clearly their play for the competitive AI PC market, going up against major foreign chipmakers.
Moore Threads just announced two new GPUs at their summit. The gaming-focused one is called Lushan, and the AI model is named Huashan. Both use their next Flower Harbor architecture. The company claims massive performance jumps, saying Lushan will offer fifteen times the gaming speed and fifty times better ray tracing over their old cards. It will also support modern standards like DirectX 12 Ultimate, which earlier products lacked.
The Huashan AI processor uses a chiplet design with eight HBM memory sites. Moore Threads compared its specs directly to Nvidia's Blackwell, suggesting competitive floating-point compute and bandwidth. They also mentioned scaling over a hundred thousand GPUs in a cluster using their proprietary MTLink tech...
