What a ridiculous price for a machine that doesn't justify its official price tag, but I guess, there will be users who will buy them at nearly triple the price. Steam Machine Hits eBay As Scalpers Start Selling Their Reservations on the Platform for Over $2700 Scalping is probably the second most hated thing in the market, while high DDR5 prices remain at the top. Just recently, we saw how scalpers immediately bought the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary edition and started selling it for nearly 2X the price on eBay. This is how it goes after every successful […]

Samsung 2026 Sustainability Report, released today, confirms that the Device eXperience Division has cut average power consumption by 34.4 percent across its representative product lines compared to 2019 baselines.
Six years is a long time in consumer electronics. Long enough that the phone in your pocket today is, by Samsung’s own numbers, doing a lot more work on meaningfully less energy than its predecessors from the 2019 era.
It’s the compounding result of incremental efficiency improvements baked into chipsets, displays, software power management, and component design over multiple product cycles.
If you’ve noticed your more recent Galaxy device running a bit cooler or lasting longer on a charge than older ones did, this is likely part of why.
As part of its goal to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, Samsung’s Device eXperience (DX) Division transitioned 94.8 percent of its total energy consumption to renewable energy as of the end of 2025.
The division also reduced power consumption by an average of 34.4 percent compared with 2019 by applying high-efficiency energy technologies to its representative product models.
The efficiency push doesn’t stop at the devices themselves. Samsung also crossed the 94.8 percent renewable energy threshold for its DX Division’s total energy consumption.
The division earned UL Solutions’ top Zero Waste to Landfill validation at every global manufacturing site and pushed recycled plastic content across products to 33.7 percent.
On the semiconductor side, the DS Division is targeting a 2.5x improvement in HBM energy efficiency and a 4x improvement in server SSDs by 2030.
We are evolving backwards, and nobody seems to have the power to change the current market situation. Unfortunately, even 4 GB of capacity seems like a luxury these days. Goodram Announces 4 GB DDR4 Memory Alongside 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB Single Modules As DDR5 Becomes Unfeasible to Buy We never imagined going down to just 4 Gigs of RAM, but RAMpocalypse made it possible. Things are getting out of hand as AI demand keeps gobbling up all the RAM chips for the AI servers. This made it extremely difficult to build PCs with high-capacity RAM, which is […]
Looks like scalpers got their hands on the CPU before regular users could, but hopefully this is just temporary. Ryzen 7 5800X3D Appears on eBay for $500-$650 on the Launch Day as Scalpers Grab the Chip Before Everyone Scalping a new product is nothing new, but it is certainly more common with a product that sees huge demand. Ryzen 7 5800X3D needs no introduction, and the 10th-anniversary edition is exactly what millions might be looking for when upgrading their older systems or building a new gaming PC from scratch. However, just as the 10th Anniversary edition hit the shelves, it […]
Abu Dhabi has been ranked among the world’s top 50 emerging startup ecosystems after its ecosystem value rose 3,057% to $73.4 billion, according to the 2026 Global Startup Ecosystem Report by Startup Genome and the Global Entrepreneurship Network.
The emirate’s ecosystem ranked #41–50 globally, up from #51–60 in the previous year, marking one of Abu Dhabi’s strongest advances to date in the Global Startup Ecosystem Report rankings. The rise reflects sustained progress in building a globally connected innovation ecosystem, supported by increased startup activity, greater access to capital, and a growing concentration of talent and technology companies. The report, unveiled at VivaTech Paris, draws on data from more than 5.5 million companies across 350+ entrepreneurial innovation ecosystems worldwide.
This year’s GSER 2026 puts Abu Dhabi in the spotlight, ranking strongly across several MENA categories, reinforcing its position as one of the region’s most dynamic startup hubs. With Hub71 helping founders build and scale here, the data tells the story:
The ecosystem created $73.4 billion in Ecosystem Value in GSER 2026 between July 2023 and December 2025, representing 3,057% growth compared to the 2018-2020 time period. Ecosystem Value is a measure of economic impact, calculated as the value of exits and startup valuations.
#2 MENA Ecosystem in AI-Native Cluster, measures the size and intensity of an ecosystem’s AI startup activity
#4 MENA Ecosystem in R&D Engine, measures innovation through research and patent activity
#4 MENA Ecosystem in Performance, measures the size and performance of an ecosystem based on the accumulated tech startup value created from exits and funding
#5 MENA Ecosystem in Funding Momentum, measures innovation through early-stage funding and investor activity
#5 MENA Ecosystem in Talent Strength, measures long-term trends over the most significant performance factors and the ability to generate and keep talent in the ecosystem
Top 15 MENA Ecosystem in Funding Runway, measures the amount of runway tech startups acquire, on average, from a VC round
Top 15 MENA Ecosystem in Affordable Talent, measures the ability to hire tech talent
The results highlight the progress Abu Dhabi has made in creating the conditions for innovation-led growth. Backed by long-term investment, progressive regulation and a coordinated ecosystem approach, the emirate continues to attract ambitious founders, support the growth of technology companies and enable startups to expand into global markets. Strong performance across emerging technology sectors further reflects the increasing scale and maturity of Abu Dhabi’s innovation ecosystem, particularly in AI, FinTech, ClimateTech, Web3 and digital assets.
Hub71 has played a central role in converting Abu Dhabi’s strategic advantages into founder outcomes by connecting startups with investors, corporates, regulators and global market opportunities. The global tech ecosystem gives founders access to capital, a vibrant community, market-entry support and a growing network of strategic government and corporate partners across priority sectors.
Ahmad Ali Alwan, CEO, Hub71, said: “Abu Dhabi’s continued progress reflects the strength of its innovation ecosystem and the collective efforts of founders, investors, corporates, and ecosystem partners. Greater access to capital, specialized talent, progressive regulation, and stronger market connections are creating an environment where ambitious startups can scale and compete globally. At Hub71, we remain focused on enabling founders to build enduring companies and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading destination for technology and innovation.”
Samantha Evans, Managing Director MENA, Startup Genome said: “Abu Dhabi’s 10+ rank leap in a single year positions it as one of MENA’s most dynamic emerging ecosystems and a benchmark for one of the region’s most deliberate ecosystem-building strategies. Its rise across AI, FinTech, ClimateTech, and Web3 & Digital Assets, and startup performance shows how the institutional backing of Hub71 can accelerate ecosystem maturity.”
FinTech, ClimateTech, and Web3 & Digital Assets are key strengths of Abu Dhabi’s innovation environment, supported by progressive regulatory frameworks, sector-specific infrastructure and strategic partnerships. Key developments underpin this, including ADGM’s virtual asset regulatory framework, Hub71’s specialist ecosystem verticals, Abu Dhabi’s national AI infrastructure drive, G42’s advanced 200MW Stargate UAE AI campus, NVIDIA partnership with Technology Innovation Institute (TII) to launch the first NVIDIA AI Technology Center in the Middle East, and Hub71’s most AI-focused cohort ever, saw over 80% of startups developing AI-driven solutions.
Abu Dhabi’s consistent rise in global rankings highlights the strength of its strategy and the growth of its startup ecosystem, which combines policy, capital, and institutional backing, enhancing the emirate’s global competitiveness as a leading hub for innovation.
The Global Startup Ecosystem Report is one of the world’s leading benchmarks for startup ecosystems, assessing factors including ecosystem value, funding, talent, research activity and market reach.
