Global chip makers saw big gains last year, a new Gartner study shows. The report looks at firms that make and sell their chips. It leaves out companies like TSMC that just make chips for others. TSMC had sales of $88 billion but does not appear on the list.
Samsung led the growth, earning more money from memory chips. The firm's sales went up 62.5 percent to $65 billion, boosting Samsung's share of the market from 7.73 percent to 10.6 percent.
Other companies made strong gains as well. SK Hynix and Micron Technology both saw their sales rise by 80 percent. Nvidia matched this growth rate thanks to more people buying its chips for smart computers. Nvidia's share of the market went from 4.73 percent to 7.3 percent.

NVIDIA plans to cut the output of RTX 4060 graphics card parts by more than half. The company will start these changes at the start of 2025. Industry sources say the drop comes as NVIDIA enters its next business year in February.
News about these changes came from IT Home and a tech expert known as "Master No. 1." The expert shared details on Bobantang, a popular tech site. These changes show how NVIDIA wants to match what buyers need. The company aims to use its resources for future products.
In January, more news about graphics cards came. A market expert said NVIDIA might stop making RTX 4060 cards after February 2025. This news matters because AMD, another big company, made a similar choice. AMD ended its work on the RX 6750 GRE...
AOC has released a new computer screen designed for fast action. The CQ27G4ZH measures 27 inches across and has a curved shape that helps users see all parts of the screen clearly.
The screen shows images in very fine detail. It can display 2560 by 1440 tiny points of light, which gives a sharper picture than common HD screens. The screen updates 300 times each second, and each image changes in just 0.3 thousandths of a second. These features make quick movements look smooth.
The screen's curve bends at what experts call 1500R. This design lets people see the entire screen without turning their heads much. The screen also makes bright and dark areas stand out better with special HDR picture settings.
Users have many ways to connect...
Corsair introduces a new desk with two models. The basic Platform 4 stands 76 centimeters tall. Its sister product, the Platform:4 Elevate, moves up and down between 74 and 122 centimeters.
Users can change the Elevate's height by pressing a button. The desk uses two motors for this motion. A small screen shows numbers and keeps track of different height settings. People can save their favorite positions for sitting and standing.
Both desks measure 120 centimeters across, which is a good size for small rooms. Users can add more space with side parts that extend 30 centimeters on each end. They can also put up a board with holes above the desk.
The desk comes with useful light metal rails that run along the top and bottom. These rails...
ASUS made a special GeForce RTX 5090 card, the ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Dhahab Edition, which uses NVIDIA's best design.
The normal RTX 5090 costs about $2,000. But this special one started at about $2,800. The regular ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC now costs almost $3,000.
ASUS made this card for people in the Middle East and North Africa. It works very well and looks nice too.
The card has a heatsink that is gold in color. The color is on the cooler, backplate, and GPU bracket. We do not know if the gold is real or just a polish. But it all looks like it goes together.
The card also has a turquoise stone that shines blue and green in the light, making it look like a real stone. ASUS did this without making the card less efficient. It can...
NVIDIA's new mid-range GPUs will come with better power and heat control. Leaked data says these GPUs need at least a 650-watt power supply. This is more than the old models. The RTX 5060 will use about 150 watts. The RTX 5060 Ti will use about 200 watts. These changes will make the GPUs work better when doing hard graphics tasks.
Experts who build computers say it is important to have a power supply that can give the GPUs enough power. Otherwise, the computer may not work well when performing demanding tasks.
NVIDIA is not the only company making new mid-range GPUs. AMD will also launch its Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT models.
NVIDIA's new GPUs will still use the same 8-pin PCI power connectors as before. This means they will work...
Nvidia's partners will soon distribute the new GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics cards. People can buy them on February 20, 2025, but some experts will receive them next week to test them.
The experts will discuss the cards on February 19 and 20. The cards use the same GB203 chip as the RTX 5080 cards, but Nvidia changed the RTX 5070 Ti to make it work better and use less power.
The RTX 5070 Ti has 8960 CUDA cores and 70 streaming multiprocessors. The RTX 5080 has more of these things. Both cards have 16GB of GDDR7 memory. But the RTX 5070 Ti's memory is a little slower than the RTX 5080's memory.
The RTX 5070 Ti also has a slower boost clock than the RTX 5080. It uses 300 watts of power. The RTX 5080 uses 360 watts of power. The RTX 5070...
LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd. will show its new technical ideas at the LIAN LI 2025 Digital Expo. The event will be on YouTube at 9:00 AM EST on February 7th.
LIAN LI will discuss changes to their computer cases, cooling systems, and power supplies. They want to make it easier to connect all the parts.
The LANCOOL 217 case uses wood and has five fans to move air around. The LANCOOL 207 Digital has a screen and four fans to keep things cool. The LANCOOL 4 case lets you change the front and top panels. The O11D MINI V2 case can fit bigger motherboards and has better airflow.
LIAN LI also has a power supply that can turn 90 degrees, making it easier to connect the wires. Its big screen can be placed in different places. Its water cooler...
The National Sports Stadium in Zimbabwe is not ready for games with other countries. The Warriors soccer team will likely play in South Africa again next month. They will face Benin in a 2026 World Cup qualifier game.
Zimbabwe has used stadiums in South Africa frequently recently. They do not have a field that is approved for international games at home. The Warriors have done well in South Africa. They have won two games and tied one in their last three there.
The Warriors are last in their group for World Cup qualifying. But they still have a chance. They have two points from five games. The group leader, Rwanda, has five more points.
Coach Michael Nees thinks Zimbabwe can still make the World Cup. The event will be in Canada...
