Top overclocker Seby broke the world record for DDR5 memory speed, pushing G.SKILL Trident Z5 memory to a remarkable DDR5-12772. He achieved this feat using SK hynix memory chips with an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard and Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor. The extreme overclocking required liquid nitrogen cooling to reach these unprecedented speeds.
The record continues the strong performance history of G.SKILL Trident Z5 memory. Seby used just one module from the F5-8000J3848F24GX2-TZ5K model for his attempt. Both HWBOT and CPU-Z validated his submission, confirming the new world record status.
Seby first gained recognition after winning the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2023 during his first international competition. He remains...
Cervoz offers new connectivity products for industrial systems as factories become more digital. The company makes special Ethernet modules with Small Form-factor Pluggable technology that works better than standard connections. These modules help machines stay connected across large areas where normal cables might fail. They can send data several kilometers instead of just 100 meters like regular cables.
The new M.2 SFP Ethernet modules have one or two ports that support fast data speeds. They use Intel controllers and follow industry standards for reliability. These products work great in large warehouses, smart factories, transportation centers, and energy facilities where signals must travel far without interference. Cervoz also...
Sony raised PlayStation 5 prices by about 25 percent starting today across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

According to Friday's US Customs notice, President Trump gave Chinese electronics a pass on new reciprocal tariffs. The exemption covers smartphones, monitors, semiconductors, electronic parts, and high-performance GPUs arriving after April 5. Tech companies feared major cost increases without this carveout. Apple makes about 90 percent of iPhones in China and keeps six weeks of inventory in American warehouses. Framework paused sales of some laptop models after a different 10 percent tariff on Taiwanese parts cut into profits.
Graphics card makers received another advantage through the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Research firm SemiAnalysis noted that Taiwanese GPUs can avoid tariffs if they undergo final assembly in Mexico...
AMD released ROCm 6.4, their open-source GPU computing platform, with several improvements but still missing official support for RDNA 4 graphics cards. The update makes ROCm libraries work better with the AMDKFD kernel driver across many Linux versions. AMD tested more combinations of software versions to help reduce problems when running advanced computing workloads.
The updated platform supports newer PyTorch versions 2.5 and 2.6 without requiring users to build from source code. It adds three specialized kernels for AI models that speed up training by combining multiple operations. Video features improved with VP9 format support and a new bitstream reader component that simplifies media processing workflows.
ROCm 6.4 officially...
SilverStone released a new liquid cooling system last week designed for computers with two processors. The XE360PDD connects two separate CPU water blocks to one shared radiator. This cooling system works with different processor types, including AMD SP5, AMD SP3, and various Intel models. The aluminum radiator measures 360 mm long, 120 mm wide, and 38 mm thick, with special sections housing two separate pumps.
Each processor has its dedicated cooling path instead of sharing the same water flow. The package includes three powerful 120 mm fans that can move significant air through the system. These fans run between 800 and 3,000 RPM, pushing up to 95.1 CFM airflow at 5.2 mm water pressure with maximum noise levels of 39.6 decibels. Both...
