As one of XPG's best-selling power supply product lines, CORE REACTOR now enters its third generation with enhanced GPU power protection while preserving the stability and performance the series is known for. CORE REACTOR III is available in 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models for a wide range of high-performance system configurations.

DRAM Module Revenue Surged 59% YoY in 2025 as Crowding-Out Effect Constrained Chip Supply and Drove Prices Higher

According to TrendForce statistics, the global DRAM module market generated $21.2 billion in revenue in 2025, up a strong 59% YoY. Rising prices and concentrated shipments from DRAM module makers in the second half of the year helped drive growth. This marked a significant acceleration from the 7% growth recorded in 2024.

DRAM market conditions changed dramatically between the first and second halves of 2025. In early 2025, some module makers increased their inventories of DDR4 chips in Q2, spurred by tariffs and the end-of-life (EOL) plans of DRAM suppliers for DDR4. They also supplied PC OEMs and other consumer electronics customers that had pulled forward procurement in response to tariffs.

ADATA Expands Enterprise "TRUSTA" Brand and Shows Industrial Products at IFA 2026

At IFA 2026 in Berlin, we visited the ADATA booth to see what the company has in store. To many, the surprising factor is the introduction of the relatively new "TRUSTA" brand by ADATA, which focuses on enterprise and industrial product offerings, a departure from what traditional PC enthusiasts know about ADATA. First, we explored the TRUSTA brand to see what the company offers. This includes the T7P5 SSDs, which boast read speeds of 13.5 GB/s and write speeds of 10.3 GB/s, and come in capacities ranging from 1.6 TB to 7.68 TB. All of this is powered by 3D NAND Flash using eTLC architecture, with the SSD form factors including U.2, E1.S, and E3.S versions, all carrying the same PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface, just with different twists depending on server or workstation needs.

DRAM Shortage Will Last Another 10 Years, Warns ADATA Chairman

DRAM is currently one of the few "commodities" in the computing world that is so supply-constrained it might take another 10 years for the supply chain to stabilize. According to ADATA Chairman Chen Li-bai, the AI bubble is far from bursting, as the demand for DRAM is outpacing supply so significantly that even with new manufacturing capacity expansions from memory makers worldwide, DRAM will remain in dire shortage for another decade. Chen Li-bai's statement was prompted by a recent decline in TSMC's stock, which fell despite posting record earnings. While some suggested this might indicate a burst in the AI hype, the ADATA chairman issued a contrary statement, suggesting we are another decade away from seeing the bubble pop.

According to Chen Li-bai, the industry can only begin discussing the potential burst of the AI bubble after 2030. After that, preliminary estimations could be made about whether the demand for more DRAM, more NAND Flash, and more computing power will be sustained until 2040 or 2050. The current demand growth is causing the entire vertical of memory, storage, computing, power infrastructure, and other areas to grow exponentially. The overall trend suggests that demand will continue to outpace supply for years to come.

Framework Switches to ADATA XPG MARS 970 SSDs, Warns of Upcoming CPU Price Hike

Framework has updated its Laptop 13 Pro pre-order page with a notable storage change and a pricing heads-up worth noting. On the good news side, Framework has switched the Gen 5 SSD option to the ADATA XPG MARS 970, which it says offers better performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability at a lower cost than the previously qualified drive. Existing pre-orders with a Gen 5 SSD selected will be automatically switched over and repriced. The new options come in 1 TB and 2 TB, and the 1 TB now costs less than the old 500 GB option. Anyone who had ordered the 500 GB will be pushed up to the 1 TB option at the lower price automatically. If PCIe Gen 5 SSD storage is not necessary, Framework also offers cheaper options based on the Sandisk SN7100 and 850X PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

The less welcome update is on CPU pricing. Framework says it has received signals that processor costs are likely to increase soon. The company expects to adjust the overall Framework Laptop 13 Pro system price for new orders in the coming weeks. Existing pre-orders are not mentioned as being affected, but anyone wishing to make an order is advised to make a decision while current pricing holds. Pre-orders remain fully refundable before shipment if you change your mind. At this point, we don't know if the CPU price increase affects only Framework or if it's a sign of a larger mainstream trend coming from both Intel and AMD.

ADATA XPG Launches INFINITY Fans and MAESTRO Air CPU Coolers

As the 2026 PC DIY market undergoes a dramatic structural shift driven by volatile memory pricing, global hardware enthusiasts are entering a new era of "precise investment and smart building." To help consumers seamlessly balance core system performance with stunning external aesthetics, XPG proudly introduces the INFINITY F360/F120/R120 infinity mirror fan series and the MAESTRO 42SA/62DA CPU air coolers.

MSI Demos 256 GB High-Capacity Motherboard Overclocking Platform with Two CUDIMMs

MSI showcased a high-capacity dual-CUDIMM platform at its CES 2026 booth, introducing a new approach that emphasizes high memory capacity in a compact form factor. With just two 128 GB DDR5 CUDIMMs, MSI achieves 256 GB of capacity on an Intel Core Ultra 200S series platform. Currently in development, this platform will be part of the MSI MEG family and will support four-rank CUDIMMs, which MSI claims offer 63% higher overclocking performance compared to standard platform alternatives. By using only two memory DIMMs, the board optimizes memory overclocking by reducing the number of traces that can cause cross talk between the DDR5 lanes, which carry signals to and from the CPU.

In partnership with ADATA, MSI is testing four-rank DDR5 CUDIMMs that enable large capacities per memory DIMM. This results in a 128 GB CUDIMM that not only offers substantial capacity but also allows higher overclocks than standard non-clock driven DDR5 DIMMs. While there is no information on the launch date, MSI plans to release these dual-CUDIMM motherboards in the near future, likely when memory prices stabilize and any remaining issues are resolved, allowing consumers to experience high speeds at large capacities. MSI is already experimenting with AMD-based motherboards as well, just like the UNIFY-X X870E motherboard pictured below. It also has two memory DIMM slots for extreme memory OC, but runs an AMD platform. This motherboard is finalized, and will feature 18+2+1 110 A dual rail SPS power delivery, built on the server-grade eight-layer PCB.

ADATA Pioneers New Era of AI Innovation at CES 2026

Simultaneously, an online exhibition will launch on January 6, inviting global audiences to witness groundbreaking AI innovations and smart application capabilities.

Framework Pushes DDR5 Pricing 50% Higher Amid Shortage

Framework has published an official company blog post announcing that it is preparing a 50% price increase for its DDR5 memory upgrade configurations. In an effort to remain transparent with customers, the company has stated that it intends to raise the price of DDR5 memory available in Framework Laptop DIY Edition orders by 50%. This decision is a direct response to the significantly higher costs the company is facing from its DRAM suppliers and distributors. As a result, the company cannot absorb all of these cost increases on its own and needs to pass some of them on to the consumer.

The company will not increase the prices of its existing pre-configured systems that include DRAM, as these were acquired at earlier, standard prices. As the memory market becomes more volatile, this might be just the first wave of price hikes, since the company cannot absorb the added costs of new memory orders. Since Framework manufactures various components, from laptops to mini-PCs, the company uses a mix of DDR5, LPDDR5X, and GDDR. All of these are in tight supply due to the AI boom depleting any remaining DRAM inventory.

ADATA and MSI Launch the World's First 4-RANK DDR5 CUDIMM Memory Module

ADATA Technology, a global leader in memory and storage solutions, today announced the launch of the world's first ADATA High Capacity DDR5 4-Rank CUDIMM Memory Module, jointly developed with leading motherboard manufacturer MSI.
