The DDR5 market goes crazy right now. On the German market, memory kits are sometimes twice as expensive as they were when they were launched a few months ago (or not available at all). This has also led to some memory manufacturers deciding not to launch new series at all.

A good addition to the lineup? AMD did today release the Ryzen 5 7500X3D, which is a very efficient six core CPU, but overpriced compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. We are also not sure whether six cores will still be future-proof in 2025.

There is a company making billions per quarter, but doing an increasingly bad job in terms of PR. They are giving a lot of infos, also the (in my opinion) important ones, but are holding back on basic stuff like photos of these announcements or are not providing them willingly.

Die shot from @nextsilicon.com. But this can't be the Maverick-2, because the aspect ratios look a bit strange, or rather, the HBM PHYs are positioned on the long side here. Or am I wrong? It's been a long week, so apologies in advance!

I‘m kind of shocked that people within the business thought that TSMC manufacturing wafer with Blackwell GPUs in Arizona are giving NVIDIA the ability to do all the silicon related manufacturing independent from Taiwan 🇹🇼

Intel just announced Crescent Island. Crescent Island is a new Intel Data Center GPU offering that will arrive in the second half of 2026. Knows features:
- air-cooled
- Xe3P microarchitecture
- 160 GB of LPDDR5X
Looks like a competitor to Rubin CPX and token optimized XPUs.

Interesting project by der8auer: Spray cooling with Novec 7000. Acceptable idle temperatures, nothing more. Just a POC.
But, spray cooling was used with the Cray X1 supercomputer. Small holes in the heatspreader sprayed directly onto the small chips, and the gas was returned.
