This Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card has dropped back to its lowest-ever price, but is now a good time to pick up a new GPU? We know the next series of Nvidia graphics cards is on the way, but we still don’t have any news of SKUs and release dates, especially for the more affordable low—to mid-range tiers. A lot will depend on your urgency for a new GPU. Do you need it immediately, or is it a replacement part for an old GPU that’s developed a fault?...

Nvidia announced updates to its data center roadmap for 2026 and 2027 at the company’sGTC 2025conference today, showcasing the planned configurations for the upcoming Rubin (named after astronomer Vera Rubin) and Rubin Ultra. Even though the company has just finished bringing Blackwell B200 into full production, and hasBlackwell B300 slated for the second half of 2025, Nvidia is already looking forward to the next two years and helping its partners plan for the upcoming transitions....

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in an interview that the U.S.’s bans on AI chip exports are “a failure” and are having the exact opposite effect that the White House wants, in that it’s pushing its Chinese rivals like Huawei to innovate and build AI hardware that could compete against its offerings. According to theFinancial Times, the chief executive of one of the most valuable companies in the world is criticizing Washington, D....

Rumors are circulating that the NvidiaGTX 16-serieshas finally been discontinued. According toBoard Channelssources cited byVideoCardz, Nvidia’s last remaining Turing architecture GPUs for GTX 16-series graphics cards have been allocated to its AIBs. Once these run out, budget gamers will have to look elsewhere — we’d suggest AMD or Intel, as they have the least expensive of thebest graphics cards. This would also mark the end of the GTX era after a 19-year run, should these rumors prove true....

Despite launching just a week ago, Nvidia’sRTX 5060 Ti8GB struggles in numerous games. In-depth testing by Australian reviewerHardware Unboxedreveals a stark difference between the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and its 16GB sibling. Despite sharing the same “RTX 5060 Ti” moniker, unsuspecting customers drawn by the $50 savings could snap up the 8GB model, unaware of its limitations. Testing shows a significant performance drop-off, frame time stutters, texture pop-in issues, and in some cases game crashes....

According to a well-known hardware leaker,wxnod, Nvidia and graphics card makers will reportedly release theGeForce RTX 5060 Tigraphics cards on April 16 at 9 p.m. to compete against thebest graphics cards. Meanwhile,VideoCardzhas allegedly received and published the final specifications of Nvidia’s first mainstream Blackwell-based GPUs today. Keep in mind that the information does not come from official sources, so take it with a grain of salt. Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, purportedly expected around mid-April, may include two versions: 8GB and 16GB of GDDR7 memory—both potentially featuring the GB206-300 graphics processor with 4,608 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory interface....

Nvidia’s skyrocketing rise in 2023 and 2024 was fueled by the explosive demand for GPUs in the AI sector, mostly in the U.S., Middle-Eastern countries, and China. Since there are U.S. export restrictions and Nvidia cannot sell its highest-end HopperH100, H200, and H800 processors to China without an export license from the government, it instead sells its cut-downHGX H20GPUs to entities in China. However, while being cut down, the HGX H20 performs extraordinarily well in terms of sales, according to analystClaus Aasholm....

To address concerns about power consumption of systems used for AI inference, hyperscale cloud service provider (CSP) Cloudflare is testing various AI accelerators that are not AI GPUs from AMD or Nvidia, reports theWall Street Journal. Recently, the company began to test drive Positron AI’s Atlas solution that promises to beat Nvidia’s H200 at just 33% of its power consumption. Positron is a U.S.-based company founded in 2023 that develops AI accelerators focused exclusively on inference....

Qualcomm’s range-toppingSnapdragon X EliteX1E-84-100 appears to have beenbenchmarkedin PassMark, and its results were quite a mixed bag. On the one hand, a low-power Arm-based processor beats the more power-hungryx86 CPUsfrom AMD and Intel, but on the other hand, it fails to beat its fellow Arm-based rivals from Apple. When it comes to graphics, things do not look exactly good for gamers, either. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite X1E-84-100 processor with 12 cores running at 3....

Rapidus hassuccessfully beguninstalling ASML’s Twinscan NXE:3800E EUV lithography system at its Innovative Integration for Manufacturing (IIM-1) facility in Chitose, Hokkaido, marking a significant milestone for Japan’s semiconductor industry. In 2025, the tool will be used to make prototype chips using a2nm process technologyand then for commercial semiconductor production starting in2027. ASML’s Twinscan NXE:3800E lithography system is currently the company’s most advanced lithography tool explicitly designed to produce chips at 2nm-class process technologies and beyond....

After a rough couple of years where all models of Raspberry Pi (except the Pico microcontroller) were in short supply, it’s now relatively easy to find most SKUs in stock. However, the new Raspberry Pi 5 can still be a slight challenge; at press time, it was sold out at the authorized U.S. retailers but in stock at the UK outlets. That’s all about to change as Raspberry Pi Ltd is currently producing 70,000 Raspberry Pi 5 boards a week with plans to scale up to as many as 90,000 units per week in the near future....
