“The company assessed that supply … is not keeping pace with the growth of the market,” SK Hynix told investors. “Given technical difficulty of leading-edge processes and the long lead time required to build new production facilities, it expects the structure in which demand exceeds supply to persist through 2030.”

It gets worse. SK Hynix has 14 long-term deals with 14 big buyers, who will collectively buy more than half of its output during 2027 and 2028, and some of them want to extend those agreements. The Korean giant doesn’t mind that because the deals include “a mechanism that reflects market conditions within a price range agreed upon with customers” and give it “a structure that secures stable profitability while allowing flexible responses to market changes.”

Buildzoid's thoughts on the ASUS Equalizer cable.

Also comment he forgot to make in the video but put in the comments section:

"It just occured to me that I forgot mention that this cable also nerfs the ASUS Astral GPU's per pin monitoring function."

The changes affect individual Rubin GPUs, the Vera Rubin NVL72 rack and the HGX Rubin NVL8 platform. The largest reduction reaches 26% for aggregate HBM4 bandwidth on the eight-GPU system.

I was looking through my Amazon purchase history and came across this: price of RAM and SSD in 2023 vs 2026.

I don't ever remember anything like this happening in the tech world before.

The 890m for example is bottle necked by ram speed if it's not soldered RAM due to speeds that soldered into board ram can hit that modules can't. Nevermind how the strix halo/8060S needs soldered ram because speed.

I know that gddr is less than optimal for CPUs but 3d cache can fix the majority of that. So will we reach a point where in order for apu to keep advancing on computers we need gddr modules or even soldered gddr as system ram?

The highest result attributed to a 24-core Nova Lake-S processor reaches 5,210 points in the single-thread test, followed by another submission scoring 5,191 points. For comparison, we selected baselines from existing processors with overall CPU Mark scores close to their published PassMark Averages.

The Core Ultra 9 285K scores 5,059 points and Core i9-14900KF at 4,635 points. This puts the fastest unnamed Intel sample around 3% ahead of Arrow Lake and 12% ahead of Raptor Lake Refresh in this particular test.

The 24-core sample also achieves 61,509 points in the overall CPU Mark test, with another submission reaching 60,964 points. This puts it ahead of the Core i9-14900KF baseline at 58,074 points, but below the Core Ultra 9 285K at 67,274 points and Ryzen 9 9950X3D at 72,065 points.
