China is set to increase its national computing power by 30% by 2025, growing from 230 ExaFLOPS to 300 ExaFLOPS, reportsThe Register. This ambitious plan involves significant advancements in technology, though for now it leaves more questions than answers as gaining an additional 70 ExaFLOPS of compute power is not an easy thing to do. Currently, China has over 8.1 million data center racks providing 230 ExaFLOPS of processing power, according to data revealed at the Global Digital Economy Conference 2024 by Wang Xiaoli from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology....

Despite U.S.-led restrictions on wafer fab equipment exports to China, the People’s Republic saw a remarkable increase in its imports of lithography systems from the Netherlands in the first two months of 2024. It is believed that Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co., China’s largest contract chipmaker, was the main buyer of ASML’s litho systems. Based on data from China Customs cited byICSmart.cnandTrendForce, there was a 256.1% year-on-year growth in imports, with 32 systems brought in January and February....

Following multiple rounds of restrictions imposed on semiconductor production equipment sales to China, the country’s foundry champion, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), is finally feeling the effects. This week, the company reported output disruptions caused by equipment maintenance and new equipment validation, which will reduce its revenues for the second quarter by up to 6%, according toDigiTimes. SMIC ran into two yield and output-related issues recently. An unexpected incident during scheduled annual maintenance disrupted production lines and compromised process accuracy, leading to a drop in yield rates....

You won’t typically find a Hygon processor among the list ofbest CPUsfor gaming or other applications. Nevertheless, Hygon stands as one of China’s most important fabless semiconductor companies. Hardware investigatorHXLrecently shared an ambitious roadmap detailing Hygon’s forthcoming initiatives, including a flagship 128-core, 512-thread processor. Baptized as the C86-5G, the upcoming server processor will feature up to 128 cores with simultaneous multithreading (SMT). However, there’s a slight twist. Instead of utilizing the typical two-way SMT (SMT2) that we’ve grown accustomed to on modern mainstream and server chips, the C86-5G leverages four-way SMT (SMT4), which means four threads per core....

If you’re lucky enough to get a day off on Monday, maybe you want to spend the time giving you’re beloved PC a little maintenance. No matter how clean you keep your home, electrical equipment always attracts dust, and with PCs having cases that pull in air from outside to keep cool, there’s always a fresh intake of said dust on a daily basis. To keep everything running in tiptop condition, it’s a good idea to apply a regular maintenance schedule, with part of that maintenance being a good dust blowout....

Corsairhas addressed a growing concern among PC builders regarding the slight play in the 12V-2x6 connector’s terminals. The manufacturer clarifies that this wiggle room is standard, falls within their specifications, is intended to improve cable seating, and reduces wear based on their data. It is important to clarify these subtle nuances, especially considering how reports ofRTX 50-seriesGPUconnectors meltingcontinue to surface, even when usersfollow the guidelines. While it might seem counterintuitive that loose terminals would benefit such high-power connectors, they accommodate minor misalignments and relieve stress....

Crucial has upgraded its popularP310NVMe SSD lineup by introducing a version with an integrated heatsink. The new variant is available, particularly for the M.2 2280 model introduced last September. This addition should potentially keep temperatures in check during heavy workloads. Still, it also makes the SSD more suitable for installations in thermally constrained environments, such as compact PCs and thePlayStation 5. You can purchase the heatsink-equipped Crucial P310 SSD at$105for the 1TB model and$160for the 2TB version....

We prefer the Disney Plus app when it comes to watching Disney, Marvel, or Star War movies. But, you may not always have the best experience as promised. Sometimes, while watching movies, the video stops loading. Or, in the worst case, the app keeps crashing while opening it. Many users have reported that their Disney Plus freezes or displays errors on Roku TV. It can happen due to corrupted cache data....

The easiest way to tell if your desktop has Wi-Fi is by checking the back side of your chassis for Wi-Fi support. Your desktop might have a built-in Wi-Fi module, a PCIe Wi-Fi adapter, or a USB Wi-Fi receiver installed. Alternatively, you may find a port labeled “Wi-Fi” on the back of the computer. But there are cases where the Wi-Fi adapter or its driver is disabled in your system. This will restrict the OS from accessing Wi-Fi, leading you to think that the desktop does not have Wi-Fi....

DRAM prices are expected to climb sharply in the third quarter of 2025, with increases of up to 45% depending on the product, according toTrendForce. This price surge will reportedly be driven by capacity reallocations, product phase-outs, and demand from both AI servers and seasonal consumer trends. Notably, outgoing types of memory will experience the highest increases. However, the TrendForce analysis does not include 25% U.S. import tariffs on products from Japan and Korea....

Dropping your AirPods Pro in water can be traumatizing. You must certainly know that AirPods Pro don’t mesh well with water, just like any other electronics (unless they’re waterproof). Even though AirPods Pro are water-resistant, they can withstand moisture only to a limited degree. So, dropping them in water might be a little too extreme for your poor AirPods Pro to handle. Since you cannot turn back time, you better take care of the wet AirPods Pro before they breathe their last breath....
