Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today is celebrating the start of 1α (1-alpha) DRAM manufacturing at its Manassas, Virginia, fab, an important step in the company's efforts to significantly expand U.S. memory manufacturing. As the only United States manufacturer of memory, Micron is uniquely positioned to strengthen America's domestic memory supply. The 1α DRAM node, the most advanced memory technology ever produced in the United States, is well suited to long-lifecycle memory for critical applications, including DDR4 and LP4 products. Micron's Virginia manufacturing expansion serves the automotive, defense and aerospace, industrial, networking and medical device sectors that depend on this kind of memory.

Senior U.S. and Virginia officials join Micron at Manassas fab to mark the milestone
Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and other executives will host the event, with remarks delivered by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and Virginia Speaker of the House Don Scott. They will be joined by other distinguished guests from the Trump Administration, Congress, the Commonwealth of Virginia and local governments, customers, suppliers, the business community and partners from area academic institutions, nonprofits and other community groups.

TSMC has allocated an additional $20 billion to expand its facility in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Fab 21 site. According to the latest TSMC board resolution meeting, TSMC Arizona, a subsidiary of TSMC, will receive up to $20 billion for now, with the possibility of further capital injections in the future. This resolution supports the expansion of TSMC's Fab 21 site with additional land purchases, expensive EUV equipment, and more semiconductor manufacturing tools. The company has already invested about $65 billion in ongoing Arizona projects and pledged an additional $100 billion in capital expenditure on top of that. The total TSMC Arizona capital expenditure is projected to reach $165 billion, with parts of the additional $100 billion package being gradually unlocked, as seen in today's board meeting resolution.

Interestingly, TSMC Arizona reportedly generated about $514 million in profit last year, its first year of operations. Given TSMC's gross margins of about 66%, this suggests that Fab 21 generated approximately $1.5 billion in revenue. TSMC does not explicitly separate revenue streams from each fab publicly, but these numbers are impressive considering the fab has only been operational for a year. Typically, a fab's first-year performance is not this strong, but it seems TSMC remains an industry leader in this area as well.

When Firaxis first conceived of Civilization VII, the ambition was to boldly re-approach the series' classic structure with new mechanics rooted in a more nuanced historical perspective, while honoring and building upon the time-tested strategic gameplay that players love. Since our February 2025 launch, those same players have only helped us better achieve that initial, ambitious vision.

Today, we're thrilled to officially announce the release date for the Test of Time update for Civilization VII, free for all players when it releases on May 19.* This is much more than just another update; it's a direct result of your passion, feedback, and patience. It also wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated and invaluable Firaxis Feature Workshop participants, who were essential to shaping Test of Time's features by putting them through their paces over the past months.

Alongside the Framework 13 Pro that was just announced, Framework also released the OCuLink Dev Kit, which is a new modular adaptor that replaces the Framework Laptop 16's Graphics Module with an external OCuLink port, allowing you to connect high-performance peripherals and hardware across a PCIe 5.0×8 interface and offering a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 128 GT/s. Framework suggests that users could use the OCuLink port to build out their Framework Laptop 16 as a lightweight on-the-go laptop, removing the dGPU and using that in an eGPU setup while docked at a desk and relying on the iGPU in the laptop for work away from the desk.

The Framework OCuLink Dev Kit includes the hardware that goes into the laptop itself, an OCuLink Expansion Bay adaptor, as well as the external bits, including a Graphics Module OCuLink Dock, for mounting your Framework Graphics Module externally, a PCIe OCuLink Dock with a full-size PCIe slot for hardware like GPUs, networking cards, capture cards, and whatever else goes into a PCIe slot; and an OCuLink 8i cable to connect the dock to the laptop itself. In order to use the external graphics module, you'll need to supply your own desktop PSU, since Framework does not include one in the package, and it should also be noted that the OCuLink port does not support the same charging capabilities as USB4 or Thunderbolt, so you'll still need to run at least two cables when using the Dev Kit.

AEWIN is glad to launch our new member of AEWIN Network Expansion Modules, the NCT404. Built upon two Intel latest E610-XAT2 ethernet controllers, it provides quad-port 10GbE RJ45 with two pairs of Gen 3 bypass. It is full-height half-length PCIe CEM with PCIe Gen 4 x8 signals. NCT404 is compatible with AEWIN platforms and off-the-shelf systems for flexible configurations and optimized network resilience.

Intel new released E610-XAT2 features over 50% lower power consumption compared to previous generation controller (X710-AT2) which helps to lower operational costs in the meantime.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope, the first major expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, is coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PC, and PlayStation 5 in Summer 2026. Step into a fresh expedition across the Zone - a massive nonlinear expansion packed with dozens of hours of gameplay. Expect haunting stories, twisted characters, and that same heavy atmosphere of decay... with just a flicker of hope breaking through.

It's time to step into a new chapter of a well-known conflict. Duty, one of the oldest factions, sees the Zone as a threat that must be contained and destroyed. On the other side, Freedom believes it's a gift - something to explore and harness for the greater good. For a time, this tension was held together by a fragile peace. But deals like that rarely last. In Cost of Hope, players once again take on the role of Skif, the protagonist of the core game, as he navigates events unfolding alongside Heart of Chornobyl. After installing the DLC, a signal on the PDA will trigger the new storyline as the game unfolds. As always, your choices shape what happens next - and the consequences could affect not just the Zone, but far beyond it.

The PS5 release of Starfield has long been rumored for 2026, but it was unclear when exactly the game would launch for Sony's gaming platform, but Bethesda has now confirmed that Starfield will launch on the PS5 in April 2026. Specifically, the launch is slated for an April 7 release. Starfield's PlayStation 5 release will coincide with the launch of a free game content update and a new story DLC, all of which was detailed in a recent developer deep-dive on the Bethesda Softworks YouTube channel.

Bethesda says that the Free Lanes update was heavily guided by player feedback, and that it will be the biggest update since the game's launch. Free Lanes will add a new vehicle and spacesuit, as well as new weapons to find and POIs for players to explore and interact with. It also adds a cruise mode to speed up interplanetary travel and allow players to interact with their crew and ship on longer trips. There are also a new material to enhance weapons and ships, and an expansion to the progression system to give players more to do in space and on the planets they encounter. Enemies have also received an update to make enemy encounters more challenging and varied.

Resident Evil Requiem only just launched to massive fanfare, having surpassed 5 million units in a matter of days, however, just over a week after passing the 5-million sales mark, Capcom has announced that Requiem has surpassed 6 million units sold in the 16 days since the game launched. According to the gaming giant's announcement, this officially makes it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game in the franchise's history.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth Resident Evil Handheld Performance review is now live]

In the post celebrating the achievement, Capcom also announced a celebration event for the franchise's March 22 30th anniversary, and revealed that it is developing additional content for Resident Evil Requiem, although it declined to elaborate what the additional content would be, beyond simply stating that "Going forward, Capcom plans to implement several measures, such as ongoing support and additional game content, so players can continue to enjoy the title longer." It seems likely that this "additional game content" will go beyond the already announced story expansion that Capcom recently revealed in a post on X.

Memory manufacturers are forecasting that memory shortages will persist until the end of 2028, when the supply chain balance is expected to be restored and memory will once again reach its commodity status. However, according to the South Korean Chosun Biz newspaper, memory manufacturers are reconsidering their expansion plans to ensure they don't overinvest in building new capacity after demand cools down. Reportedly, Samsung's internal projections indicate that demand for DRAM in forms like HBM and regular DDR will peak in the next few quarters, up until the end of 2028. This is the point where Samsung expects industry-wide demand to cool down and balance to be restored.

When the AI expansion began, memory manufacturers received massive orders from hyperscalers around the world, ordering DRAM supply months in advance. With no end in sight, SK Hynix, Micron, and Samsung started ordering more lithography tools from ASML to expand their wafer manufacturing capacity to meet their customers' needs for more HBM, DDR, and GDDR memory. According to ASML, the company estimates that in 2027, based on current order information and demand, it will deliver 56 Low-NA EUV scanners. This includes seven units for Samsung and as many as 20 units for SK Hynix, specifically for memory and storage. According to South Korean media, SK Hynix plans to install 20 Low-NA EUV units in the next two years, all designed for HBM memory and advanced storage solutions. However, as the demand is expected to stay in line with previous expansion plans, this is stopping memory makers from considering taking the fab capacity expansion further than initially planned.

HighPoint Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of high-performance PCI Express (PCIe ) switching and storage expansion solutions, is proud to announce the launch of HighPoint's External CopprLink PCIe Architecture. Anchored by the PCI-SIG CopprLink standard, this groundbreaking architecture establishes a new benchmark for disaggregated AI, HPC, and professional media workflows, delivering a massive 64 GB/s of native throughput with unprecedented interoperability.

The CP152-1 adopts a rear-accessible removable tray architecture, allowing system integrators to evaluate alternative service workflows and chassis layouts while maintaining a clean, cable-free PCIe installation.

Innodisk, a leading provider of industrial-grade memory solutions, announced the CXL Add-in Card (AIC), a major addition to its CXL product portfolio. Innodisk developed this CXL-based expansion card in response to rising memory demands in next-generation computing and the limited scalability of current motherboard designs. Connecting via the widespread and mature PCIe interface, the CXL AIC delivers fast memory access without occupying system DIMM slots. It also provides greater flexibility in memory usage and allocation. Its HHHL form factor, paired with Innodisk's compact DDR5 RDIMM/RDIMM VLP, unlocks new possibilities for microdata centers and edge systems, especially in latency-critical scenarios such as 5G networking, high-frequency trading, and smart medical imaging.

Flexible Memory Expansion Up to 256 GB
The Innodisk CXL AIC features two onboard RDIMM sockets that provide flexible memory expansion up to 256 GB (128 GB x2), allowing easy capacity adjustment by swapping RDIMM modules based on system needs. By connecting through PCIe slots, it not only preserves the system's native DIMM slots but also delivers an additional 32 GB/s of bandwidth via its PCIe Gen 5 x8 interface. This minimizes latency when the CPU accesses shared memory, enabling faster data flow for bandwidth-intensive applications such as AI inference and edge processing.

Just few more days until the horrors begin! REANIMAL, the highly anticipated co-op horror game from Tarsier Studios, creators of Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares II, launches this Friday, February 13. Pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition now secures 10% savings and grants access to the REANIMAL Season Pass, which includes all three DLCs in The Expanded World campaign—delivering all-new horrors for players to survive.

On February 28, Monster Hunter Wilds will celebrate its first anniversary, and Capcom will be marking the occasion with a sizeable new content update that will introduce performance improvements and a slew of in-game events throughout February and March. Update 1.041, which lands on February 18, delivers the new missions, monsters, weapons, and rewards, alongside the aforementioned anniversary events. Monster Hunter Wilds producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto, announced the new update in a video posted on the official Monster Hunter YouTube channel. Tsujimoto also announced that Capcom is working on a new expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds that is on the same level as Iceborne and Sunbreak for Monster Hunter Worlds and Rise. Given the direct comparison, it's likely that this will also be a premium paid expansion coming in at around the same $39.99 price point as the aforementioned Worlds expansions. Aside from sharing that more details will arrive "this summer," meaning between June and August, no details have been shared about the contents of the new update, but the comparison also suggests we will see it launch with a new locale with a new hub, missions, and enemies.

The February 2026 update will add a new boss, the Arch-tempered Arkveld, a monster available to hunters above rank 100, in its own 10-star event quest alongside special 10-star quests featuring all four previous Arch-tempered monsters and rare rewards. Completing the Arch-tempered Arkveld quest will unlock a special optional hunt-a-thon quest pitting players against all four Arch-tempered monsters in a single quest. The update also makes the winning sword and pendant from the weapon design contest available to everyone as a special event quest reward. There will also be a collaboration with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and the anniversary events will make all previous time-specific event rewards available again through a weekly rotation of previous seasonal events. The anniversary events and collaboration will feature new and fun twists on existing quests to match the Festival of Accord vibes, with matching Stories rewards. The event festivities will last for a month, from February 18 to March 19, and there will be special one-time event rewards. The development team has also analyzed game data and prepared a special limited-time event featuring a buffed version of the least-hunted monster in the game, with the quest again delivering special cosmetics and rewards. Tsujimoto says that Capcom still has more in-store for Monster Hunter fans that it will reveal closer to the anniversary event start date.

Intel's concluded its Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings call, revealing interesting things about its foundry operations and node selection. When talking about the upcoming 14A node, Intel confirmed that the node is on track for 2027, with yields that are in good shape. However, the bulk of the 14A external capacity Intel will dedicate depends on customers willing to sign manufacturing contracts first, before Intel spends insane amount of funds required to expand manufacturing capacity. Intel CEO Lib-Bu Tan noted "Engagements with potential external customers on Intel 14A are active. We believe customers will begin to make firm supplier decisions starting in the second half of this year and extending into the first half of 2027. We also have the opportunity to provide strong differentiation in advanced packaging, particularly with EMIB and EMIB-T."

Intel CFO David Zinsner has stated "On 14A, Lip-Bu has been very direct with us on all of this. He does not want to spend on capacity on 14A, only spend on the kind of TD spend or R&D spend associated with 14A, even in the fab until we have customers secured. We've talked about the likelihood is our customers on 14A, their window to secure, or for us to secure them will be in the back half of this year and in the first half of next year. And so once visibility improves there, we'll start to unlock the spend on 14A. I can just add a little bit more. I think on the yield improvement, we see 7%, 8% yield improvement per month." Intel has previously mentioned that while there will be a base capacity for internal use, any future expansion for third-party services will depend on customers' willingness to invest capital with Intel Foundry.

Late last week, HW Media Lab presented the first photos of their DockFrame prototype. A familiar cog emblem is visible in a couple of the teaser shots. The independent hardware design agency has formulated their nifty and highly customizable USB-C hub with Framework's modular card expansion system in mind. In addition, the open-hardware system's tool cards can be connected up to non-Framework computers, and smartphones, via USB-C. Eleo Basili, co-founder and principal product designer at HW Media Lab, commented on the status of this intriguing project: "we're iterating on the PCB now (power + routing + port behavior), and we're incorporating the community's requirements into the spec." Suggestions and other thoughts are welcomed—feedback can be sent in through the DockFrame official site.

Interested parties are invited to join a pre-order waiting list, but Basili and colleagues have not revealed any pricing details or an upcoming launch window. The DockFrame design is not officially affiliated with Framework, but connectivity enthusiasts seem to be impressed with HW Media Lab's plans and colorful/fun decorative themes. Currently, Framework offers 24 types of their own expansion cards, starting at $11. Rising costs have caused invested users to balk at the prospect of tailoring their Laptop 12, 13, or 16 systems to greater degrees—especially in terms of memory kits and graphics card modules. The first-gen DockFrame product, at least in early form, has the capacity to accept up to four hot swappable cards.

Watching the community grow, seeing the amazing art, the mods, the unexpected strategies, and the support between players through the game's challenges has been hugely rewarding for us here at home. Your continued enthusiasm remains a massive motivator as we work towards expanding the game even further. That first big expansion is already well underway!

Ugreen is best known for producing a wide range of USB hardware, cables, and AC adapters. Earlier in the week, Chinese PC hardware press outlets noticed the retail listing of a brand-new LinkStation Graphics Card Expansion Dock. Ugreen's entry into this loftier market segment has generated buzz outside of China. A sleek semi-open enclosure design is combined with an impressive set of internals. An initial JD.com store entry advertises a 2299 Yuan (~$325 USD) price tag. Promotional renders show a hosted NVIDIA GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics cards—matching the dock's largely brushed aluminium aesthetic—but Ugreen's spec sheet states that users can slot in their favored AMD or Intel products.

A fully-closed LinkStation can house a maximum card length of 370 mm. Excessively proportioned units can be accommodated, as long as a modular top cover is removed. This 5.08 kg eGPU setup can be hooked up to laptops, mini PCs, and gaming handhelds. Ugreen's dock sports an OCuLink port; supporting data transfer speeds up to 64 Gbps. Alternatively, USB4 (40 Gbps) connectivity is present—granting 100 W of reverse charging for connected devices. According to a contents rundown, 0.5 m OCuLink and 0.8 m USB4 cables are bundled in as standard. A 850 W Gold-rated ATX 3.1 power supply is fitted within the LinkStation Dock; good enough to take on GeForce RTX 40 or 50-series dGPUs. In-housing testing of the dock's OCuLink connection shows near-to direct-to-desktop mainboard interface performance.

Hyper, the creator of innovative tech accessories for creators and power users, today announced the launch of the HyperDrive Next USB4 V2 M.2 PCIe Enclosure. A CES Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree, this next-generation expansion solution delivers 80 Gbps USB4 V2 connection for high-speed storage and modular PCIe expansion.

"With the rise of AI workloads, growing media file sizes, and more modular workflows, users need external solutions that match the workstation-level performance of built-in storage," said Gabi Iorio, Director of Global Marketing and Sales, Hyper. "The HyperDrive Next USB4 V2 Enclosure gives them PCIe Gen 4 performance, modular expansion options, and rugged protection—all in a compact, user-friendly form factor."

Two days ago, a low-key Reuters news article described recent efforts made by Fushan Technology (a Foxconn subsidiary) and Luxshare-ICT (a Chinese firm) to expand games console production facilities in Vietnam. Insiders believe that Fushan Tech is seeking permission to bolster an existing plant—leaked documents, submitted to a local government body, mention a major manufacturing goal. Once permitted, the Foxconn off-shoot supposedly wants to produce "up to 4.8 million Microsoft Xbox gaming devices (per annum), as well as "parts of the consoles, and other unspecified electromagnetic devices." Allegedly, Luxshare-ICT has lodged a similar request—pending a decision regarding an upgraded facility's annual "(up to) 4.5 million game consoles" production target.

Ongoing trade wars have caused manufacturers to pivot away from a traditional reliance on Chinese hubs. Instead, facilities located in nearby nations offer relief from severe tariffing. Jez Corden, of Windows Central fame, has weighed in on the topic of an alleged geopolitically-motivated change of plans at Microsoft's computer games division. Availability of current-gen Xbox consoles has declined across a fair number of regions, with big name retail outlets no longer selling the big green brand. Corden noted a decline in hardware supplies: "posted nearly every quarter for the past couple of years. To make matters worse, (Xbox leadership) was forced to raise prices a few months ago, making the Xbox Series X, and in some cases, the less powerful Xbox Series S more expensive than some PS5 models. Tariffs have played a huge part in making Xbox Series X|S less competitive."
