ASRock has released a BIOS update that addresses voltage issues affecting Ryzen 9000 processors. The company adjusted hidden voltage settings and reset current limits to match AMD's official specifications. Early tests suggest that these changes should prevent the high electrical draw that damages CPUs quickly. Users need to conduct long-term stress testing across different ASRock motherboard models to confirm that the fix works properly. ASRock has not issued a public notice instructing customers to install the new BIOS version.
Precision Boost Overdrive controls how processors increase speed based on temperature and power usage. Two settings, called EDC and TDC, set the maximum current levels that processors can handle safely...
SK Hynix will start making 12-High HBM4 memory modules in October 2025 for computer companies. The Korean manufacturer timed this production to coincide with NVIDIA's launch of its Rubin graphics processor in early 2026. Each HBM4 stack contains twelve layers of 24 gigabit memory chips that create 36 gigabytes per package. These modules deliver data transfer speeds of up to 2 terabytes per second for artificial intelligence computers. Factory workers improved manufacturing success rates from 60 percent to over 70 percent after fixing bonding problems.
TrendForce research company expects HBM4 memory to cost 30 percent more than current HBM3E modules at first. Cloud computing companies and AI accelerator makers will pay higher prices to...

Nintendo picked Samsung to make chips for the Switch 2 console instead of using longtime partner TSMC. The Korean company specializes in the 8nm process that Nintendo needs for its gaming device. This partnership opened doors for Samsung to attract other major technology companies. AMD and Sony both approached Samsung about making chips for their future products. The deal marks a rare victory for Samsung against industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
Samsung offers a higher production capacity than TSMC because it currently handles fewer orders from NVIDIA. Nintendo expects Switch 2 sales to exceed 20 million units and generate over $1 billion. The Korean manufacturer focuses on rebuilding trust with...
