Among the concerns raised about theStargate project, which involves partnerships with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank,were scarce details about infrastructure support. Little by little, the companies disclosed their intentions and, on Tuesday, OpenAI and Oracleannouncedplans to build an additional 4.5 gigawatts (GW) of Stargate data center infrastructure in the U.S., pushing OpenAI’s total planned capacity beyond 5 GW. Interestingly, SoftBank is not involved in financing this buildout, despite being part of the Stargate project....

Probably ranking fairly level with the power supply for the unsexiest PC hardware component, RAM isn’t the most exciting part of the inside of your computer to look at no matter how much RGB or fancy heatsinks you attach. Still, it is one of the most important and often isn’t cheap either, especially when it’s the latest iteration. It certainly felt like it was a small barrier to entry for AMD’s AM5 platform when it was first released as it was quite costly, but you had to have it for a working build....

Pineboards, formerly known as Pineberry Pi, has released several HAT modules (including theHatDrive! Nano)since theRaspberry Pi 5came out in late 2023. Most of these modules come with a PCIe connector, introduced on the new Raspberry Pi flagship. For its latest offering is thePineboards Ai Bundlewith Hailo-8L. This HAT enables you to run an AI accelerator chip while still having the ability to plug in (and boot from) an M.2 NVMe SSD....

We’ve come across our fair share ofRaspberry Piprojects for animals over the years. We’ve seen professionals in the science community use a Pi tomonitor bear populationsand even have a guide published by Ryder Damen on making aRaspberry Pi pet detector. But today, we’re excited to share something of the feline persuasion—maker and developer Michael Suguitan has put together an excellent stray cat monitor he callsCatBot. The system’s function is simple, but its design is pretty complex and has a bonus feature....

Raspberry Pi hastoday releasedthe $12 M.2 HAT+ for theRaspberry Pi 5(yes, one is on the way for our review) with up to 500 MB/s data transfer, much faster than eventhe best micro SD cardscan manage. Designed to fit on top of theRaspberry Pi(unlike other third-party NVMe boards), the M.2 HAT+ is secured to the Raspberry Pi 5 using M2.5 standoffs and screws. The boards is connected to the PCIe connector for data and power, and the GPIO pins are accessible thanks to a 16mm stacking header....

AMD is expected to launch theRyzen AI 300(Strix Point) CPUs on July 28, and reviewers are likely to conduct their final benchmark tests on laptops sporting these chips. One test, shared by hardware detectiveHXL, showed results for the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 installed on an Asus ProArt P16. The tested laptop runsWindows 11Home on the Standard power plan with 32GB of RAM. The Geekbench 6 test returned a 2,879 single-core and 14,888 multi-core score, giving it a higher single-core score than the previous generation AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D and putting it close to the Intel Core i7-13700KF....

And while its new3300W power supplyis the clear star of the show, the rest of its offerings are nothing to sneeze at....

The advantages of Liquid Cooling Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K *️⃣ Noise normalized testing What I can tell you is that with Arrow Lake CPUs, temperatures rise 2-3C when fans are run at a whisper-quiet 35 dBA in comparison to when you run them at full speeds. This variance seems to be the same, no matter what cooler is used. I’ve tested this with both Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 9 285K....

Houston resident Brandy Deason put an Apple AirTag in her recycling to see where her plastic trash was going. While many might expect the city would drop the recyclables off at a recycling center, Deason instead found her trash sitting in an open-air lot alongside millions of other pieces of trash at Wright Waste Management (WWM). Wright Waste Management did not allowCBS Newsto enter and inspect its premises. Still, the news team’s drone camera discovered that all the trash picked up from the Houston Recycling Collaboration (HRC) was apparently just sitting there on its premises, stacked more than 10 feet high....

Texas Instruments(TI) unveiled what it claims to be “the world’s smallest microcontroller (MCU)” at Embedded World 2025. The tiny new MSPM0C1104 measures just 1.38 mm², which TI says is about the same size as a black pepper flake. TI is targeting medical wearables and personal electronic applications for the new MSPM0C1104, which it claims is 38% smaller than the most compact rival MCUs and will cost buyers just 20 cents a piece in bulk....
