Greenliant is now sampling its NVMe NANDrive EX Series, a BGA SSD in a tiny 16mm x 20mm package. It’s built for brutal environments with endurance up to 400,000 program-erase cycles and hardware-based security. The company is also testing a more cost-effective TLC-based PX Series.
Thermaltake has launched a new flagship AIO liquid cooler that puts a massive, curved AMOLED display front and center. The MAGCurve 360 Ultra ARGB aims to be a visual centerpiece for high-end builds, but it comes at a premium price starting around $289.
Microsoft has finally built a native NVMe driver into Windows, ditching a legacy SCSI workaround. Early tests show potential speed boosts up to 45%, but enabling it on Windows 11 is a risky, unsupported process that could break your system.
Analysts are painting a bleak picture for PC builders. The scramble for AI memory is creating a severe shortage for consumer DRAM and NAND, which could lead to a major market downturn and price hikes on pre-built systems.
According to Wccftech, a Sapphire PR manager claimed the 8GB 9060 XT is a capable 1080p card for “99% of games.” An owner who bought the card for $225 in August put that claim to the test at 1440p with FSR4, finding severe limitations with ray tracing enabled in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and A Plag
The open-source NVK Vulkan driver for NVIDIA GPUs has landed a significant feature for GeForce RTX 20 series hardware. This support is a prerequisite for technologies like NVIDIA’s DLSS, marking progress for high-end gaming on Linux.
A new AI person tracking system from AIRA, optimized for Intel CPUs, performs cross-camera searches without needing pre-enrolled faces. It’s designed for on-premise deployment in settings like factories and stadiums, keeping all data local and off the cloud.
According to a year-end wrap-up from XDA-Developers, 2025 was a parade of PC hardware failures. ASRock motherboards killed Ryzen CPUs, Nvidia shipped GPUs with missing components, and a “RAMpocalypse” sent memory prices soaring over 300%.
Samsung has racked up a huge number of awards for CES 2026, including multiple “Best of Innovation” honors. The wins span from a quantum-resistant security chip to a new XR headset and a thinner foldable phone. It’s a broad snapshot of where the company is betting big for the next two years.
Samsung has fired the first shot in the next-gen chip war, announcing the world’s first 2nm mobile processor. The Exynos 2600 promises major performance boosts and tackles past overheating issues. But Apple, with TSMC, is hot on its heels for 2026.
