Up until recently, it was thought that CUDIMMs would be exclusively supported by Intel’s Arrow Lake-S desktop platform. However, it looks like AMD’s Ryzen 9000-series processors will also be able to work with CUDIMMs - at least according to MSI - reportsVideoCardz. During a recent webcast, MSI confirmed that while AMD’s upcoming X870 and X870E motherboards will support CUDIMMs with Ryzen 8000 and 9000 series CPUs, they are currently incompatible with the Ryzen 7000 series processor family....

While you can always use the Switch with its power cable plugged in, one of its most appealing features is its portability. When the battery is working well and holding a charge, you can play for hours with nary a wall outlet in sight. However, the efficiency of any battery drains over time, and any seasoned Switch player can attest that it happens on the console too. Even though it’s inevitable that the battery will not hold a charge as well after hours of playing and charging, there are still a few fixes that can help when you feel like your Switch has experienced a sharp decrease in how long it can stay away from the plug....

Nvidia suppliers building its Blackwell AI server racks have reportedly solved a series of technical hurdles, allowing them to accelerate production of the GB200 AI rack.
