Zhaoxin released the KH-50000 server processor with 96 cores through a chiplet architecture that combines 12 compute dies with one input-output die. The Chinese manufacturer increased performance from its previous KH-40000 model, which offered 32 cores at 2.5 gigahertz with 64 megabytes of cache. The new chip operates at 3 gigahertz with 384 megabytes of cache, and supports 12 channels of DDR5-5200 memory with error-correcting code per socket.
The processor provides 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity with support for CXL standards, and adds 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes for older hardware. Security features meet China's SM2, SM3, and SM4 cryptographic requirements, and the chip integrates fourth-generation trusted computing that complies with GM/T...
LG will release the 32U990A-S monitor on Nov. 30, 2025, as the first display to feature Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. The 31.5-inch screen delivers 6K resolution at 6,144 by 3,456 pixels with Nano IPS technology, and covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and 99.5 percent of Adobe RGB. Pre-orders begin on Oct. 16 at approximately 319,000 yen in Japan.
The monitor provides 600 nits of brightness with a 2,000-to-1 contrast ratio for video editors, photographers, and designers. Hardware calibration requires a separate sensor purchase. A Live Color Low Blue Light mode reduces eye strain without distorting color accuracy during extended work sessions.
Three USB-C ports supply 96 watts of charging power, and the display accepts...
MSI demonstrated a prototype graphics card with a concealed power connector at the Tokyo Game Show as part of its Project Zero cable management initiative. The company relocated the standard 12V-2x6 connector from the card's side to the rear beneath the cooling system on a white Ventus 3X RTX 5070 Ti model. A magnetic cover hides the port after cable installation, and the power cable routes directly behind the motherboard tray through an extended printed circuit board design.
The relocated connector reduces ventilation space for the third cooling fan compared with standard Ventus cards, but MSI has not released thermal performance data for the early-stage prototype. The design aligns with the growing popularity of cable-hiding cases...
Samsung reduced its 2-nanometer wafer prices to $20,000 per unit to compete with TSMC, which plans to charge $30,000 when mass production begins in the fourth quarter of 2025. The South Korean manufacturer signed a $16.5 billion contract with Tesla for AI chip production and seeks additional clients to operate its underutilized fabrication plants in South Korea and the United States. Industry observers suggest the pricing strategy could attract companies considering TSMC for advanced semiconductor manufacturing, but customers may prioritize yield reliability over cost savings.
TSMC maintains its position as the leading foundry with commitments from NVIDIA and AMD for 2-nanometer chips. The Taiwanese company bases its premium pricing on...
Turtle Beach released the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded controller on Tuesday for competitive gaming across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC systems. The wireless device features magnetic Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers designed to prevent drift problems and extends battery life to 20 hours per charge. Players can customize the controller through 11 swappable components such as thumbstick caps, D-pad configurations, and button layouts.
The PlayStation edition supports PS5 and PS4 consoles at $209.99, and the Xbox version works with Series X|S and Xbox One at the same price. Both models ship in black or white colors and offer wireless connectivity up to 30 feet. A PC-specific version launches on Oct. 26, 2025, at $189.99 with keyboard and...
Zyxel Networks has released four WiFi 7 access points for business clients at prices ranging from $79.99 to $99.99. The devices feature quad-core Qualcomm processors and NebulaFlex technology that allows switching between on-site and cloud-based network management. Installation requires only scanning a QR code at the deployment location.
The access points support SSID VLAN tagging to separate network traffic for employees, guests and connected devices. Smart Mesh multi-link operation creates a dual-radio mesh backhaul that increases WiFi throughput by up to 40 percent. The NWA90BE PRO and NWA50BE PRO models offer BandFlex tri-band support with selectable 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequency bands.
Security features such as RADIUS Authentication...
Japanese game designer Goichi Suda expressed interest in developing a title centered on the DC Comics character Peacemaker during an appearance on Future Game Show. The developer stated through a translator that Grasshopper Manufacture excels at creating visceral combat sequences, and he would like to explore inventive methods of violence beyond those depicted in existing media. Suda previously worked with James Gunn on Lollipop Chainsaw in 2012, with Gunn contributing to story development and character design for the action-adventure game.
Gunn currently serves as co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, where he oversees the expanded universe spanning multiple entertainment platforms. The executive confirmed last...
Micron Technology released LPCAMM2 memory modules on Tuesday that deliver speeds up to 8,533 megatransfers per second for laptop computers. The compact design occupies less than half the space of standard DDR5 SODIMMs while providing 1.5 times faster performance with reduced power consumption. Users can install up to 64 gigabytes of capacity for artificial intelligence applications, data analysis, and content creation tasks.
The modules support next-generation mobile workstations from Lenovo and Dell, with additional manufacturers expected to adopt the technology. Real-world testing shows improved performance during web browsing, video conferencing, photo editing, and office productivity tasks compared to traditional SODIMM...
Supergiant Games achieved 112,947 simultaneous players on Steam for Hades 2 during its first weekend after the version 1.0 launch on Friday, Sept. 25. The figure more than doubles the 54,240 peak concurrent users recorded by the original Hades during its entire lifespan.
