Intel, AMD, NVIDIA chase 17,600 MT-s DDR6 speeds with CAMM2
Major memory manufacturers accelerate DDR6 development as demand from high-performance computing sectors drives faster timelines. Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix collaborate with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA to expedite the new standard's arrival. JEDEC completed DDR6 specifications during 2024, setting the foundation for widespread industry adoption. Testing and verification processes will conclude by 2026, with initial server implementations beginning in 2027. The new standard delivers substantial performance improvements over current DDR5 technology. Base transfer rates reach 8800 MT/s, representing an 83 percent increase from DDR5's 4800 MT/s baseline speed. Maximum speeds achieve 17,600 MT/s through a redesigned 4x24-bit channel...
AMD seizes over a third of server CPU market from rival Intel
AMD captured 36.5% of the server CPU market by mid-2025, rising from just 2% in 2017 according to PassMark data. The company launched EPYC processors in 2017 with the Naples generation, offering up to 32 cores per socket at competitive prices. Successive generations like Rome, Milan, and Genoa delivered higher core counts and better efficiency through TSMC's advanced manufacturing processes. Intel faced delays with its 10nm process and leadership changes that slowed development of competing Xeon processors. AMD's consistent architectural improvements and aggressive pricing strategy enabled the company to gain significant ground against Intel's previously dominant market position.
EA confirms Battlefield 6, details single player return on July 31

Intel Core Ultra 9 Nova Lake chip packs 52 cores, three core types
Intel prepares Nova Lake-S desktop processors featuring three distinct core architectures within a single chip. Coyote Cove P-cores manage intensive applications while Arctic Wolf E-cores handle lighter tasks efficiently. Low-power E-cores operate background services with minimal energy consumption. The flagship Core Ultra 9 delivers 52 total cores through 16 P-cores, 32 E-cores, and 4 LPE units. Engineers allocated 144 MB of shared L3 cache across performance and efficiency clusters. Core Ultra 7 processors reduce specifications to 42 cores by disabling select units from the Ultra 9 design. Ultra 5 variants offer three configurations ranging from 18 to 28 cores with 125W to 150W power ratings. Entry-level Ultra 3 models provide 12 or...
G.SKILL T5 Neo arms AMD Threadripper with 512GB of DDR5-6400 RAM
G.SKILL introduced the T5 Neo DDR5-6400 CL38 R-DIMM memory configuration designed for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors and WRX90 chipset motherboards. The manufacturer assembled this 512 GB kit from eight individual 64 GB modules operating at 6400 MT/s with 38-48-48-102 timing specifications. AMD EXPO compatibility enables automatic performance optimization through motherboard UEFI interfaces. The company engineered each module with 16-layer printed circuit boards that reduce signal interference compared to traditional designs. Advanced protection features defend against power fluctuations through dual transient voltage suppression diodes and integrated fuses. Professional users can populate all eight memory slots for immediate...
AMD's Threadripper 9000 chips command prices over $11,000
AMD launched its Threadripper 9000 processor series across two distinct product lines targeting different market segments. The Pro variant addresses workstation requirements while the standard edition serves high-end desktop users. Both processor families utilize Zen 5 architecture and maintain identical 350-watt thermal design specifications. Manufacturers equipped Pro models with eight-channel DDR5-6400 memory controllers supporting 2TB capacity compared to four-channel systems with 1TB limits on standard versions. The Pro series delivers 148 PCIe 5.0 lanes versus 92 lanes available through non-Pro configurations. Core configurations span from 12-core Pro models priced at $1,635 through 96-core variants reaching $11,586. Standard...
JONSBO TF3‑360SC redefines AIO cooling with four LCD screens
JONSBO revolutionizes liquid CPU cooling through the TF3-360SC series by embedding four LCD panels within the cooling system. The pump block houses a 3.5-inch screen displaying 640×480 pixels, while three 120mm fans feature individual 3.38-inch displays at 640×180 pixel resolution. Each panel operates at 350 nits brightness and supports JPG, GIF, and MP4 formats through proprietary software. Users can monitor real-time temperatures, fan speeds, and clock rates across multiple screens simultaneously. The waterblock design allows 90-degree rotational adjustments for optimal display positioning. Performance specifications match traditional high-end 360mm AIO units with fans operating between 700 and 2,400 RPM. Airflow ranges from 21.46 to...
GENOME III combines extreme cooling with a smart telemetry display
The new GENOME III chassis features advanced liquid cooling through a 420mm radiator system that combines sixth-generation pump technology with three FT14 fans. Anti-leak regulation circuitry maintains stable pressure within the front-mounted transparent reservoir, which serves as both a functional component and visual fluid level indicator. RGB lighting flows through a vertical column that synchronizes with motherboard headers for customizable illumination effects. A 5.5-inch display panel delivers real-time system monitoring at 480x960 resolution, tracking CPU temperatures, GPU performance metrics, memory usage, and power consumption. The firmware automatically reduces display refresh rates during high processor loads above 80 percent...
ASUS board with AMD Threadripper shatters 46 performance records
