Foxconn just landed orders to build compute trays for Google's TPU racks, and apparently, they are shipping them out at a 1:1 ratio with the TPU racks themselves. Google's 7th-gen TPUs come in these massive Superpod setups that pack over 9,000 chips per pod, and Foxconn is handling the computing...

Black Ops 7 dropped out of the top spot after just one week, getting beaten by EA Sports FC 26 on both revenue and units sold. The CoD game already had a rough launch since it sold 63% worse than Battlefield 6, and Battlefield is still hanging around at number three right behind it. Football...

Samsung's chip-making wing is basically ghosting its own phone division over DRAM supplies because memory prices went absolutely bonkers this year. The semiconductor crew refuses to lock in more than three months of RAM shipments at a time for Galaxy devices, and executives had to step in just...

ASUS dropped another Mini-ITX board for AM5 socket builds, and this one rocks an all-white colorway for people obsessed with matching their entire setup. The ROG STRIX B850-I Gaming WIFI7 W keeps the same specs as the black version but swaps out the paint job. The board packs a 13-phase power...
