According to Polygon, Nintendo’s 2026 is shaping up to mirror the Switch’s second year in 2018, but with bigger potential. The year could see major releases like Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, a new Pokémon RPG, and a new Mario game to build crucial momentum for the Switch 2.
Ventiva is pitching a new “zoned” ionic cooling system for AI hardware, from data centers to laptops. The tech uses electrostatic fields to create airflow without moving parts. It’s a clever idea, but plasma cooling has a long road to prove itself at scale.
Lenovo has officially announced a SteamOS version of its Legion Go 2 handheld. It packs the same 8.8-inch OLED screen and AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip but starts at $1,199. The device is slated to arrive in June 2026.
Lenovo is bringing SteamOS to its flagship Legion Go 2 handheld. The company plans to start selling this version in June 2026, starting at $1,199. This comes months after the Windows model launched and just as newer, more powerful chips are on the horizon.
Nvidia’s latest AI chip announcement sent shockwaves through the industrial cooling sector. The new Rubin platform’s integrated design could make traditional liquid cooling systems less critical, sparking a major sell-off.
MSI just unveiled a compact 4-liter desktop PC built for AI. It runs on AMD’s upcoming Ryzen AI Max+ processors and can dedicate up to 96GB of its fast unified memory directly to the GPU, aiming to eliminate VRAM bottlenecks for local AI and creative work.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems has installed the first of 18 massive magnets for its Sparc reactor, aiming for a 2027 start. The company also announced a partnership with Nvidia and Siemens to build a digital twin, hoping AI will accelerate the path to fusion power.
Gigabyte has unveiled a new lineup of 800-series motherboards at CES 2026, headlined by the X870E Aorus Xtreme X3D AI Top. These boards are engineered specifically for AMD’s Ryzen 9000 Series X3D processors, featuring support for DDR5-9000+ memory and AI-driven performance modes.
At CES, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang shifted his prediction for a robotics “ChatGPT moment” from “around the corner” to “nearly here.” The company unveiled new AI models and tools for self-driving cars and robots, but building the actual machines is a much harder problem. The gap between simulation and rea
The high cost of EV batteries is the biggest barrier to mass adoption. Now, a shift away from energy-hungry “wet-coating” to new dry electrode manufacturing promises to dramatically cut costs and factory footprints, potentially reshaping the entire auto industry.
