A Chinese store sells a new ASUS gaming laptop with secret parts inside. The laptop has an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX chip that almost nobody knows about. This computer costs about $1907 for people who want to buy it. Someone posted about this on Weibo and said AMD kept these new laptop chips very quiet. The store looked everywhere but could not find this chip on any official AMD websites.
People thought AMD would show these updated Dragon Range chips at the big Las Vegas show. Instead, AMD focused on newer Fire Range chips with the 9000HX name. MSI did something strange when they talked about a Ryzen 9 8945HX chip in their press papers. Past rumors said these refreshed Dragon chips run slightly faster than older versions. The Ryzen 9 8940HX...
FMC joined forces with Neumonda to bring new memory chips to market. These chips act like normal computer memory but keep data safe when turned off. Regular memory loses everything without power, but these special chips hold information forever. The companies call their creation "DRAM+" because it works as fast as normal memory with added benefits. They changed the basic parts inside memory cells, replacing standard parts with special materials that remember electrical states.
This new memory fills the gap between super-fast chips that forget everything and slower storage that remembers but works at turtle speed. Past European memory makers failed because they couldn't compete on price with big Asian factories. These new chips target...
Sam Altman started a new company called io Products back in 2023. Last fall, famous designer Jony Ive said he would help with this tech startup. People who know stuff say the OpenAI boss and the guy who made iPhones look cool want to build smart home gadgets that talk to you. A news story from The Information says rich people gave them money, but nobody knows how much cash they received.
A small group is working there right now to make a special phone without a screen that uses AI. Nobody has seen it because they just began making it. The news says I've brought in Tang Tan and Evans Hankey to help design these devices. Both of these people used to create iPhones at Apple for many years. I've run a design shop named LoveFrom that will...
NVIDIA plans to show off new laptop gaming chips this month. People already know about these chips because of leaks starting last summer. The RTX 5060 Mobile and RTX 5050 Mobile will power cheaper gaming laptops from big companies. Last month, we heard Razer and MSI were making less expensive portable gaming computers with these new Blackwell chips.
VideoCardz spent time searching for more proof that these chips exist. Their hard work paid off yesterday when they found evidence from three major companies. Razer, Lenovo, and LG all accidentally posted web pages mentioning these secret graphics cards. When VideoCardz reported this news, Razer China quickly changed its website. They removed any mention of the RTX 5060 Mobile from their...
Xiaomi plans to launch its first phone chips next year. According to reports, by October 2024, they had already finished designing a 3 nanometer chip. Around that time, they began searching for a manufacturing partner. People noticed something unusual—a test design connected to Taiwan's TSMC factory with their 4 nanometer N4P process. This raised eyebrows since Xiaomi seemed able to access better manufacturing than other Chinese companies.
Wccftech published an article describing interesting details about the situation. US trade limits apparently haven't affected Xiaomi, who remains on track to release homemade chips this year. Previous reports suggested a 3-nanometer chip would arrive by 2025. Fresh details reveal they plan to use...

Framework pulled some laptop models from US stores because of new taxes. They stopped selling their 13-inch laptops with Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U processors. They told everyone about this change through their X social media page. Starting April 5, taxes on stuff from Taiwan jumped to 10 percent. This big tax increase affects how much money Framework makes on each laptop.
Before this, the Framework set prices, thinking they wouldn't pay any import taxes. If they kept the old prices, they would lose cash on every computer sold. Framework said other computer companies have the same problem but haven't talked about it publicly. The Ultra 5 125H model has already vanished from their website. Some fancier models like Ultra 7 155H and...
