Listings for the 9950X3D2 have started to pop up at many different vendors, with some even listing preliminary prices. We found the CPU going for roughly $1,000 at two Canadian retailers, and just a smidge below that at a UK-based website. For context, the standard 9950X3D with 3D V-Cache on only one CCD launched at $699.

The LG 27GS93QE-B is perfect for gaming, productivity, and media consumption, thanks to its versatile feature set. It's a 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor with an MLA+ panel so it's really bright at 1,300 nits (peak) and it has a 240 Hz refresh rate with support for both G-Sync and FreeSync, so it's really smooth, too.
Japanese researchers trained cultured rat cortical neurons to autonomously generate complex temporal signals using a real-time machine learning framework.
Wildcat Lake is Intel's upcoming family of low-budget and low-power CPUs intended for OEMs. We've already seen many leaks surrounding this family, but now a new product from Advantech has listed three SKUs in a datasheet for its MIO-5356 SBC. This confirms the specs from prior leaks and signals that a launch is due soon.
The latest Steam client update included an FPS data gathering component in Beta, allowing the platform to monitor your framerates and compare it with your hardware.

A 42-core SKU from the upcoming Nova Lake-S CPU family has reportedly been upgraded to 44 cores by swapping the 6P+12E tile with an 8P+12E tile, allowing the chip to achieve symmetry across its dual-tile config. Those leftover 6P+12E tiles could now become locked variants with 144 MB of bLLC as a new 22-core SKU (6P+12E+4LPE).
Developers behind the open-source PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 claim that theyβve achieved a breakthrough in emulating the PS3's Cell Broadband Engine processor.
The Golden Saga Edition of the Redmagic 11 Pro is equipped with 24 GB of RAM and an even more robust liquid cooling system that can pull upwards of 45W while emulating Red Dead 2, delivering 50+ FPS. The phone costs around $1,700, but for that money, you're getting GTA V running at up to 100 FPS on a device that just happens to make calls, too.
The company behind the tiny box AI accelerator says that its macOS driver for Nvidia eGPUs has just been signed by Apple, making it a legitimate software for Macs and no longer needs workarounds to work with the device.

Nvidia has just demoed its Neural Texture Compression technique again at a GTC talk, where it showed VRAM usage dropping from 6.5 GB to just 970 MB in a scene. NTC uses a neural network to decompress textures instead of standard block-based compression, reducing texture size and VRAM usage while also improving final image quality.
Sharge's Disk Pro pairs a snappy 10 Gbps SSD with a handy port hub and active cooling, all in a compact, eye-catching shell with a magnetic back. It's an impressive package for gamers and road warriors, but you'll pay a high price for all these features.
The Enermax Revolution III S 1000W features certified Platinum efficiency, good power quality, and an absurdly confident 13-year warranty, though its small cooling fan and peculiar cable layout create limitations that deserve attention.
Two new Rowhammer attacks for GPUs have been discovered that can cause bit flips in VRAM to gain arbitrary read/write access over it. These attacks target page files and the page directory that are otherwise protected from electrical disturbance by the driver. By "massaging" these data structures into vulnerable regions where a bit flip can occur, the attacker can access even the CPU memory.
Researchers from the Leiden University in The Netherlands used cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create these microrobots that measure just 0.5 micrometers across.
