Acer Files Expose Radeon RX 9060 XT Memory Options
Alright, check it out! Acer just registered a bunch of new graphics card SKUs last week. They filed this massive EEC thing that showed off a ton of their unannounced Nitro and Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9060 XT models. It looks like AMD's board partner is gearing up to drop two different memory configs for their lower-end RDNA 4 custom cards. We're talking 16 GB and 8 GB of GDDR6, baby!

TSMC Dominates While SMIC, UMC and GlobalFoundries Adapt
According to TrendForce's newest study, the worldwide foundry business showed a split trend in the last quarter of 2024. High-end process nodes had strong demand from AI servers, top smartphone processors, and new PC platforms, driving up shipments of expensive wafers and helping balance out the slowdown in older process demand. The top 10 foundries grew their revenue by almost 10% compared to the previous quarter. They hit a whopping $38.48 billion, setting another industry record. TrendForce points out that recent U.S. trade taxes under Trump have begun impacting foundries. There was a jump in orders for American-bound TVs, PCs, and laptops in Q4 2024. This is likely to continue into the first quarter of 2025. Plus, China started a...
