Researchers develop memory that functions with temperatures over 1,100°F — nonvolatile electrochemical memory works even on the hottest planet in our solar system

Traditional DDR memory operates within a certain temperature window—often around 100 degrees Celsius or less—and going beyond that window will result in potential data loss and thermal throttling.Researchers at the University of Michiganhave developed a new memory architecture that quite literally behaves the opposite of DDR memory, featuring an operating window of at least 500 degrees Fahrenheit (250 degrees Celsius) and can run at over 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit (600 degrees Celsius)....

RTX 5090D overclocked to 3.4 GHz consumes 1,000W — beats dual RTX 3090 Ti and quad GTX 1080 Ti

The overclocking race is on asTony Yu, General Manager of Asus China, reviewed theRTX 5090Din depth and gave us our first glimpse of its overclocking potential. Under liquid nitrogen and a handful of board modifications, the RTX 5090D successfully dethrone several top configurations across the 3DMark suite. Yu also captured beautiful die-shots of Samsung’s 30 Gbps GDDR7 ICs and the GB202 chip powering the RTX 5090D, revealing the underlying Blackwell architecture....

Russia continues work on homegrown game console despite technology and scale issues

The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is actively seeking a company to develop a gaming console, following a directive from Vladimir Putinissued in March. The ministry is also in discussions with businesses and other departments to determine the necessary resources and support measures for this project, reports3DNews. Experts doubt the project’s feasibility without government subsidies, citing significant time and investment needs. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is initiating the development of a domestic gaming console, and discussing necessary support measures with market participants, following a presidential directive....

SiFive selects a faster Chinese-made RISC-V CPU instead of an Intel chip for its latest development board

SiFivehas unveiled theHiFive Premier P550, a new development board using the RISC-V architecture. It will be the first commercially available out-of-order RISC-V development board. Also intriguing (and surprising) is that the new hardware includes a Chinese-made Eswin SoC, even though SiFive is an Intel partner. The new development board is designed for many different market segments and applications, including machine vision, video analysis, and AI.The P550 comes with 16GB ofLPDDR5-6400 memory and a 128GB eMMC SSD for “fast bootable” storage....

Software engineer achieved free plane Wi-Fi at a terrible cost — PySkyWiFi bypasses firewall but is limited to plain text endeavors

Earlier this week, software engineer Robert Heaton posted theentire storybehind his open-source PySkyWiFi project— or how he achieved free Wi-Fi on an airplane by painstakingly subverting the existing firewall. Be prepared, though— even if you can duplicate this yourself using his existing work or recreating it on your own, the final results aren’t that pretty, and you’ll most likely want to pay for your plane Wi-Fi the regular way, anyway....

Solved: “The Procedure Entry Point Could Not Be Located” Error on Windows

Sometimes while trying to launch a program or application, you might have come across “The Procedure Entry Point Could Not Be Located” error. This error occurs due to the operating system’s inability to hand over control to the program that is being launched. This usually happens when a critical dynamic link library (dll) file is either missing, corrupt, or outdated. Sometimes, the error message itself will let you know the exact file that is causing the problem and you’re able to go about solving that particular problem....

TeamGroup teases T-Force AI-Flow X thermoelectric SSD cooler at Computex 2025

TeamGroup has gotten into the habit of teasing weird and wonderful SSD coolers at computer trade shows.Last yearatComputex, it showcased several bulky ‘overkill’ designs, though some, like theT-Force Dark AirFlow Imade it to retail. This year, it showed us three similarly extreme M.2 SSD coolers: a slim model that uses thermoelectric (TEC) technology, a dedicated AiO liquid M.2 cooler that supports up to three storage devices, and a combo 360mm AiO CPU and M....

This Raspberry Pi Pico 3D printed digital dice throws luck to the digital wind

There’s nothing like the satisfying clack of dice alongside the murmurs of conversation while friends enjoy a nice table top game. But why not digitize the process? You could save a little space and avoid the risk of losing any dice all while giving your brain a healthy workout. That’s exactly what maker and developer Abe from Abe’s Projects has done with thisRaspberry Pi Pico-powereddigital dicecalled Mr. Dice. According to Abe, the idea was to make something that would be easy to take with you and operate with just one hand....

U.S. closing critical gap in domestic chipmaking supply chain — GlobalWafers given $400 million to make wafers in the U.S.

When you want to capture a sizeable share of the semiconductor production market in a few years, you must ensure that there are wafers to process. The U.S. government is taking care of this. On Wednesday, GlobalWafers and the Biden administrationannouncedthat the company is set to receive $400 million to support projects in Missouri and Texas, where GlobalWafers will make wafers that will eventually be used by Intel, Samsung Foundry, and TSMC....

U.S. legislators criticize decision to resume Nvidia H20 GPU shipments to China — demand new export rules for AI hardware

Earlier this week, the U.S. government lifted its ban on shipments of AMD’sInstinct MI308andNvidia’s H20 processors for AIto Chinese entities, which pleased the companies, their Chinese customers, and investors. However, John Moolenaar (R), the head of a House of Representatives panel on China, has sent aformal letterto Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick criticizing the move and requesting a briefing to discuss the decision and future actions of the executive branch. There is an interesting part: he does not call for a ban on the said GPUs again, but to develop a new set of rules....
