ASUS started showing off a new Hatsune Miku collection last week through its Chinese division. Among colorful gaming accessories, observers noticed a special GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB graphics card. The company partnered with Crypton Future Media for what they call a cybernetic fusion in gaming. They first revealed peripherals before displaying a complete Hatsune Miku-themed computer system.
News site VideoCardz researched the mysterious graphics card during the weekend. They found more information from ASUS China manager Tony Wu, who displayed various products, including a white triple-fan graphics card. Wu never stated the exact model name, as NVIDIA plans to announce new cards soon. The card matches the teased RTX 5060 Ti O8G model...
According to TechInsights research, Intel takes the lead in chip performance with its new 18A node. The company scored 2.53 on a performance scale, ahead of TSMC N2 at 2.27 and Samsung SF2 at 2.19. These numbers make Intel the top performer among cutting-edge two-nanometer class nodes. The 18A design includes a Backside Power Delivery Network, which represents a major change in how power reaches the transistors.
This new power layout makes chips more efficient and helps parts work better together. Early test chips will appear in Panther Lake processors late next year, with regular production starting in early 2026. The 18A process uses 15% less power than the older Intel 3 technology and fits 30% more transistors in the same space...
A new action game called Morbid Metal will be available on Steam's early access program next summer. The game appeared during the Triple-I-Initiative showcase with a fast-paced one-minute trailer. Players can create three different characters with unique moves, allowing them to shapeshift between these forms during gameplay. When players die, they restart their run but can unlock permanent upgrades along the way.
The story happens inside a simulation humans created to escape climate disaster. Players become AIs that must prove themselves as mankind's next step in evolution by defeating other AIs. Felix Schade worked alone on Morbid Metal for years before starting Screen Juice in 2023. He almost gave up until positive feedback from...
Apple plans to launch two new headsets in its Vision Pro lineup. The company wants to make the main Vision Pro 2 lighter because users think the current model feels heavy on their faces. It weighs between 600 and 650 grams right now. Engineers are testing lighter materials and a more comfortable face seal to bring the weight closer to competitors like Meta Quest 3, which weighs 515 grams.
The Vision Pro 2 will feature the upcoming M5 chip for better performance and longer battery life. Apple hopes to lower the price from its current $3,499 starting point. Making this happen might prove difficult since the headset comes entirely from Chinese factories where supply chains face growing pressure.
The company is also working on a second...
Pictures of MSI's upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards appeared online after model names leaked last week. VideoCardz published images showing several new designs from the company. The photos come from an unnamed source but appear genuine despite lacking retail packaging.
The entry-level INSPIRE 2X OC model features a dual-fan design. MSI recently introduced triple-fan INSPIRE cards at CES 2025 for higher-end models. This smaller card apparently uses a single 8-pin power connector, as industry insiders had suggested. The card looks about 2.3 slots thick with three DisplayPort 1.2b connections and one HDMI 2.1b port.
MSI also prepared a GAMING X version with two fans, different from their usual three-fan TRIO designs. It has the...
Samsung just announced two new workplace devices that can handle tough conditions. The Galaxy XCover7 Pro phone and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablet help workers in challenging environments. Both come with a 5G connection, better processors, and more memory than previous models.

NVIDIA plans to build AI supercomputers entirely in the US for the first time, working closely with manufacturing partners. The company has secured over a million square feet of factory space to produce Blackwell chips in Arizona and assemble AI supercomputers in Texas.
Production of Blackwell chips has already begun at TSMC facilities in Phoenix, Arizona. NVIDIA also teams up with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas to create supercomputer plants. These factories should reach full production capacity within the next year or so.
Making AI chips and supercomputers requires advanced technology throughout the supply chain. NVIDIA has partnered with Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing operations in Arizona. The company expects...
