NVIDIA recently told laptop makers they must clearly show all graphics power details for the coming RTX 50 Series Blackwell GPUs. According to ComputerBase, this change addresses a long-running problem where hidden limits caused weird performance gaps between laptops with identical GPU names. Many companies previously skipped sharing complete information about power usage, which led to situations where budget models sometimes beat premium ones because nobody knew about these power restrictions.
Under fresh guidelines, brands need to display key facts like base TGP, Dynamic Boost limits, and exact clock speeds on product pages. NVIDIA mentioned they partner with laptop manufacturers to ensure power specs appear on their websites...

TSMC has changed its plans for making chips in America after facing many problems. Building their first factory in Phoenix took almost five years instead of two years like they do back home. They ran into trouble with workers, spent more money than expected, and found it hard to work with Americans at first. These early problems taught TSMC many useful things about building factories in the USA. The company found good local builders and fixed many issues that had slowed them down before.
TSMC wants to build much faster from this point forward. They plan to start building their third factory this year and hope to finish it as quickly as they would in Taiwan. Right this minute, TSMC is setting up equipment in its first factory building...

Adani has turned Bangladesh's power back on after cutting it in half for four months because they weren't paid. The Indian company delivers 1,600 MW of electricity from its coal plant in Jharkhand, India. Bangladesh Power Development Board chairman Rezaul Karim told Bloomberg they're paying Adani regularly again and receiving all the electricity they need. The full power came back about two weeks ago.
The Indian energy giant cut off Bangladesh's electricity last October 31 when the country missed several payments during its financial troubles. Later, Bangladesh asked Adani to keep sending just half the normal amount because they expected lower demand during the winter months. They promised to pay what they owed eventually. Reports...
