NVIDIA has revealed last week its plan to roll out 600,000 to 800,000 SOCAMM memory modules in 2025. This move puts SOCAMM technology in a position to replace current high-bandwidth memory (HBM) options. NVIDIA aims to use these modules in its upcoming AI products such as the GB300 "Blackwell" platform and AI PC Digits system, which it showed off at GTC 2025. Industry reports indicate that NVIDIA has communicated projected order quantities to memory and substrate suppliers. NVIDIA engaged three major memory manufacturers: Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology for SOCAMM co-development. As Digitimes Asia reports citing ET News and Wccftech, Micron has secured approval for volume production ahead of its competitors.

The System on Chip Advanced Memory Module (SOCAMM) technology uses LPDDR DRAM to boost performance for low-power high-bandwidth AI computing tasks. Micron says SOCAMM gives 2.5 times more bandwidth while reducing size and power use by a third compared to standard server RDIMM modules. The planned SOCAMM rollout though smaller than NVIDIA's expected 9 million HBM unit buy for 2025, marks a key market shift. Industry experts see this as a possible game-changer for memory and substrate fields. SOCAMM's rollout covers business and consumer markets first aiming at AI servers and workstations before moving to personal computers. The technology links cost-effective growth with high-performance AI workload needs.

More than 800 games and applications feature RTX technologies, and each week new games integrating NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, and advanced ray-traced effects are released or announced, delivering the definitive PC experience for GeForce RTX players. Following the addition of DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation to even more games last week, this week sees our performance multiplying tech launch in Killing Floor 3 and WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, and it will be added to The First Descendant. And Wildgate launches today with DLSS Super Resolution.

Killing Floor 3 Launches July 24th, Featuring DLSS 4 With Multi Frame Generation
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor 3 is the next installment in the legendary co-op action-horror FPS series. The year is 2091, 70 years after the events in Killing Floor 2, and megacorp Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of bio-engineered monstrosities called Zeds. Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter puts players in the role of a Nightfall specialist, joining forces with up to five teammates as they battle through a war-ravaged, dystopian future, surviving unrelenting waves of Zeds, unlocking new skills, and building the ultimate arsenal.

The semiconductor industry has officially accelerated its next-generation memory development, with DDR6 standard now coming soon. Although enthusiasts won't find these modules available until 2027, key players, Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix, have already moved past prototype stages and embarked on rigorous validation cycles. In partnership with Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA, they're targeting an initial throughput of 8,800 MT/s, with plans to scale up to a staggering 17,600 MT/s, almost doubling the ceiling of today's DDR5. This increase is driven by DDR6's 4×24-bit sub-channel architecture, which requires entirely new approaches to signal integrity. Additionally, it also differs from DDR5's current 2x32-bit sub-channel structure. To overcome the physical limits that DIMM form factors faced at higher speeds, the industry is betting on CAMM2. Early indication is that server platforms will lead the change, with high‑end notebooks following suit once manufacturing ramps up.

Behind the scenes, timelines are being mapped: platform validation is slated for 2026, server deployments in 2027, and broader consumer availability thereafter. This phased rollout mirrors the DDR5 journey; however, analysts predict that DDR6's architectural leap could accelerate adoption in AI and high-performance computing environments. Of course, cutting-edge technology comes with a premium: initial DDR6 modules are expected to carry price tags reminiscent of DDR5's 2021 debut, potentially limiting early adoption to hyperscale data centers and AI research labs. Yet with HPC and AI appetite for bandwidth, memory makers are targeting launch as soon as possible to satisfy the massive deployment of compute. By 2027, CAMM2‑based modules running at DDR6 speeds may well define the new standard for high‑performance systems.

OpenAI and Oracle today announced a binding agreement to add 4.5 gigawatts of power-dense data center capacity to the Stargate network, pushing the project past the 5 GW milestone and keeping it on track to house over two million AI chips. While SoftBank remains a name on Stargate's January press release, the Japanese conglomerate is not contributing capital to this specific tranche, leaving Oracle as the primary financier and operator for now. The new build-out will join Stargate I in Abilene, where Oracle delivered the first NVIDIA GB200 racks last month and where OpenAI is already running frontier model training workloads. Construction crews from more than twenty states are on site, and OpenAI projects that the expanded footprint will generate over 100,000 US jobs, spanning electricians, mechanical technicians, and indirect manufacturing roles, within the next four years.

The announcement arrives less than a week after the Wall Street Journal characterized Stargate as a "stalled" venture, a claim OpenAI CEO Sam Altman swiftly rebutted on X, affirming that total investment will "significantly exceed" the originally pledged $500 billion and that GPU counts are on pace to break the two‑million‑chip barrier this year. Site selection for the 4.5 GW increment remains under review, with Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Wyoming under consideration. Oracle has reportedly placed a $40 billion order for additional NVIDIA silicon, showing the scale of its commitment. Power availability remains the critical constraint, as 4.5 GW equals the average draw of 3.5 million homes, prompting parallel negotiations with utilities for on-site generation and dedicated transmission lines. Abilene's H-shaped halls, each designed to hold 50,000 GB200s, serve as a live prototype, and lessons learned there, including liquid-cooling loops and modular substations, will be replicated across future campuses.

NVIDIA today released the latest version of GeForce software. Version 577.00 WHQL comes with Game Ready optimization for "Wuchang: Fallen Feathers," including support for DLSS 4. The drivers also come with optimization for the latest Unreal Engine 5 update of "Valorant." The driver also adds DLSS Overrides, or the ability to override DLSS settings in NVIDIA App, for 11 new titles. This feature lets you take control of settings such as multi frame-generation overrides, upscaler models, frame-generation models, DLAA, and ultra-performance modes. NVIDIA App optimal settings have been added for three new titles, including Broken Arrow, Mecha Break, and PEAK. Among the issues fixed with this release are a bug with Counter-Strike 2 that causes black screens on 4:3 resolutions on the ASUS ROG PG27AQN monitor; and stability issues with Naraka Bladepoint on a specific map when using the DirectX 11 renderer and DLSS.

Eurocom, a leader in high-performance mobile computing, today announced the launch of the Raptor X18, a mobile supercomputer engineered to serve as a complete "forensic lab on the go." Designed for the intense demands of digital forensics, corporate incident response, and intelligence operations, the Raptor X18 gives investigators the power to acquire, process, and analyze massive datasets directly in the field, eliminating critical delays and accelerating time-to-insight. Eurocom redefines mobile forensics with Raptor X18 Supercomputer, delivering full Lab capabilities to the field. New flagship 'Lab-on-the-Go' platform empowers forensic teams to conquer massive datasets, break through encryption, and slash investigation times directly at the source.

The mounting challenge in modern investigations is that today's investigators face a crisis of scale and complexity. Data volumes are exploding into petabytes, fragmented across countless devices, cloud platforms, and IoT networks. Simultaneously, adversaries are using sophisticated encryption and anti-forensic techniques to hide their tracks. This forces forensic teams into a reactive posture, where critical evidence is transported back to a centralized lab, creating bottlenecks that can last days or weeks—a delay that can be catastrophic in a fast-moving corporate breach or time-sensitive criminal investigation.

What if NVIDIA's most powerful symbiosis of CPU and GPU design, originally intended for server infrastructure, is put inside a desktop form factor? That is exactly the question ASUS asked and decided to do. In its ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3, ASUS utilized the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra desktop superchip, delivering 20 PetaFLOPS of FP4 precision compute, alongside 784 GB of unified cache-coherent memory, 288 GB of which are attributed to HBM3E on the GPU itself, and the remaining 496 GB to LPDDR5X embedded around the Grace CPU. With the GB300 "Blackwell Ultra," NVIDIA allows OEM partners to utilize its DGX blueprint and design their own desktops, so ASUS is undertaking a custom implementation here. To connect the monstrous compute to the outside world, ASUS embeds ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, which runs at 800 Gb/s, and installs NVIDIA's DGX OS, a Ubuntu fork with NVIDIA-specific kernel tweaks, optimizations, and additional drivers.

The motherboard powering the system is designed for serious expandability, offering three full-length PCIe x16 slots that allow you to stack multiple GPUs or specialized accelerators, including extra RTX cards for maximum compute performance, and three M.2 expansion slots for high-speed SSDs. Power delivery is interesting as it includes the standard ATX and EPS12V connectors for the CPU and system, plus three dedicated 12V‑2×6 GPU power connectors capable of supplying up to 1,800 Watts. Pricing and availability are unknown, but expect to pay $30,000+ for a system of this caliber, which is specifically aimed at AI researchers running these boxes as part of their larger infrastructure.

During the RISC-V Summit in China, NVIDIA's Frans Sijstermans, vice president of hardware engineering, officially announced that NVIDIA has ported its massive CUDA software library to RISC-V ISA, signaling that the company sees RISC-V adoption accelerating in every aspect of the hardware stack, and that it could be a perfect match for NVIDIA GPUs. Historically, NVIDIA ported its CUDA platform to every major instruction set, including x86, Arm, PowerPC, and even Sun's SPARC. This is done to ensure that if any platform takes off in the enterprise or any segment, NVIDIA is there from the start to support it and allow its GPUs to run at full speed. Now, the $4 trillion company is making a bet that RISC-V will be the next desirable ISA to bring full support for.

NVIDIA envisions systems where its GPUs are the center of any acceleration, and supplementary RISC‑V CPUs oversee CUDA drivers, application logic, and the operating system, orchestrating parallel workloads entirely within the CUDA ecosystem. The diagram shown at the summit highlights a DPU handling networking tasks, creating a cohesive trio of compute, control, and data‑movement elements. If you recall, NVIDIA already uses NV-RISC-V CPU inside its GPUs for handling control logic on the GPU itself. That demonstrates NVIDIA's strategy to build heterogeneous platforms that combine RISC-V controllers with its GPUs, DPUs, and networking silicon. Now that CUDA is fully supported on RISC-V, NVIDIA could look into alternatives for its Grace CPU to be built on the RISC-V ISA. As the open-source ISA slowly breaks into the server space with the RVA23 specification, which NVIDIA mandates for CUDA support, we could see some interesting heterogeneous designs.

Today, NVIDIA unveiled OpenReasoning-Nemotron, a quartet of distilled reasoning models with 1.5B, 7B, 14B, and 32B parameters, all derived from the 671B-parameter DeepSeek R1 0528. By compressing that massive teacher into four leaner Qwen‑2.5-based students, NVIDIA is making advanced reasoning experiments accessible even on standard gaming rigs, without the need to worry about hefty GPU bills and cloud usage. The key is not some elaborate trick but raw data. Using the NeMo Skills pipeline, NVIDIA generated five million math, science, and code solutions, and then fine-tuned each one purely with supervised learning. Already, the 32B model hits an 89.2 on AIME24 and 73.8 on the HMMT February contest, while even the 1.5B variant manages a solid 55.5 and 31.5.

NVIDIA envisions these models serving as a powerful research toolkit. All four checkpoints will be available for download on Hugging Face, providing a strong baseline for exploring reinforcement-learning-driven reasoning or customizing the models for specific tasks. With GenSelect mode (which takes multiple passes for each question), you can spawn multiple parallel generations and pick the best answer, pushing the 32B model to outstanding performance that rivals or even exceeds OpenAI's o3‑high performance on several math and coding benchmarks. Since NVIDIA trained these models with supervised fine-tuning only, without reinforcement learning, the community has clean, state-of-the-art starting points for future RL experiments. For gamers and at-home enthusiasts, we get a model that can be very close to the state-of-the-art, entirely locally, if you have a more powerful gaming GPU.

If you remember GALAX's last overclocking triumph, it was thanks to Team OGS and their custom Extreme OC (XOC) BIOS for the RTX 5090D HOF. Now, this special XOC BIOS has surfaced online, courtesy of an eagle‑eyed post by OCNet user digitaljack3t. This firmware unlocks a default power limit of 2,001 W, which exceeds NVIDIA's official cap, and even allows you to adjust the TDP down to 400 W if you need to keep temperatures in check. It only works on the 5090D variant, so don't bother trying to flash it onto the regular 5090. That exclusivity makes sense given GALAX's decision to release just one non‑D HOF card globally, and it shows that true overclocking headroom is reserved for the 5090D platform.

Using liquid nitrogen cooling and finely tuned voltages, they pushed the core clock up to an astonishing 3,650 MHz and achieved a record time of 39.434 seconds on the GPUPI 32B benchmark. OC momentum carried over into graphics tests as well, where 3DMark Port Royal saw the GPU running at 3,570 MHz on its core and 2,250 MHz on GDDR7 memory, resulting in a score of 47,469 points. Meanwhile, the Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme preset achieved 38,237 points, nearly 29% above the card's standard performance target. Extreme overclocking is not a dead end, and with this XOC BIOS, another overclocking lab could give it a try and potentially set a new world record.

Axiomtek—a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacture of innovative, highly efficient, and reliable industrial computer products—is proud to announce Super Mode support on its NVIDIA Jetson Orin -based AIE series, including the compact and rugged AIE100-ONA and AIE110-ONA. Designed for real-time, high-throughput AI workloads in intelligent transportation and smart parking applications, the system now delivers unprecedented AI inference performance thanks to NVIDIA's latest high-performance operating mode.

As demand for smarter, more responsive traffic and parking systems rises, system integrators are challenged to deploy edge AI solutions capable of simultaneously handling multi-stream video analytics, license plate recognition, object detection, and predictive insights—all with strict latency constraints. With the Super Mode feature enabled on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Axiomtek's AIE100-ONA and AIE110-ONA now provide a significant performance leap to address these real-world deployment needs.

NVIDIA's long-awaited entry into Arm-based laptop CPUs has hit yet another obstacle, according to insiders close to SemiAccurate. Despite publicly declaring the N1 and its sibling N1x is in full production, the company now faces fresh engineering challenges that threaten to push shipping dates as far back as late 2026. Sources speaking to SemiAccurate describe that the newest issue may require a modification to the actual silicon. This setback follows an earlier hiccup, reported in early 2025, when some subtle flaws emerged during initial validation. NVIDIA engineers managed to correct those without a respin, restoring confidence and nudging the timetable back to early next year.

Performance teasers we spotted a month ago showed a prototype "NVIDIA N1x" scoring 3,096 in single‑thread and 18,837 in multi‑thread tests on Geekbench 6.2.2. The sample chip, believed to power an HP "8EA3" development notebook with 20 logical cores clocked at 2.81 GHz and backed by 128 GB of RAM running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, suggested a significant performance in big.LITTLE arrangement built from standard 10 Cortex‑X925 performance cores and 10 Cortex‑A725 efficiency cores. The N1x's integrated graphics and neural‑processing unit would close the gap with Qualcomm's Snapdragon Elite series and even Apple's M3‑class silicon. Now, with the latest issues looming, OEM partners may have to recalibrate their Windows laptop plans. NVIDIA will need to balance the risk of further delays against the need to demonstrate a polished, reliable experience before its CPU ambitions can truly challenge established players in the laptop arena. Late 2026 now appears set to become the new milestone for when the first N1‑powered notebooks might finally reach store shelves.

Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a global leader in mass-capacity data storage, today announced the global channel availability of up to 30 TB Exos M and IronWolf Pro hard drives. Built on Seagate's Mozaic3+ platform and powered by heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology, these drives are engineered to meet increasing demand for scalable, high-performance storage driven by the rise of AI deployments that are supplementing traditional enterprise infrastructure development. With over one million Mozaic hard drives now shipped, Seagate has reached more than just a milestone—it has marked a defining moment that underscores the strength and maturity of its breakthrough storage technology.

"Today, approximately 90% of the world's data is stored in just 10 countries. However, data gravity is increasingly pulling networks to the edge as nearly 150 countries adopt data sovereignty requirements, and AI workloads continue to expand. Datacenters—on-prem, private, and sovereign—are leveraging AI to unlock the value of their proprietary data," said Melyssa Banda, SVP of Edge Storage and Services, Seagate. "Our 30 TB drives are designed to support these rapidly growing trends, delivering the capacity, efficiency, and resilience needed to power the AI workloads."

At Bilibili World 2025, ASUS introduced one-of-a-kind ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition, a GPU with literal real-world gold. Weighing in at 7.24 kg the card incorporates 5 kg of 24‑karat gold across its frame, backplate, and outer shell, giving its raw materials alone a value exceeding half a million US Dollars. ASUS China general manager Tony Yu, known online as "Uncle Tony," revealed the piece alongside content‑creator partner "Talented Cai Qian." According to ITHome, the sand‑mold casting process produced an uneven, almost molten texture on the calligraphy and cooling fins, clearly distinguishing this one‑off prototype from any mass‑produced design.

This solid‑gold edition follows the earlier Dhahab OC line, which featured only a thin layer of precious metal, and it now stands as a monument to luxury. At current bullion prices, the value of the gold alone surpasses that of a fully loaded AI server. ASUS has not confirmed the card's next destination, though it may be auctioned like previous limited editions signed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, with proceeds benefiting children's hospitals. With gamers usually focusing on performance per watt, they will look elsewhere, as this is certainly not a value buy. The underlying RTX 5090D silicon remains unchanged, and the gilded cooler is too large for most standard chassis, meaning that only collectors will prize the GPU for its one-of-a-kind build.

At Bilibili World 2025, Colorful quietly introduced a unique all-white version of its iGame Ultra Duo SSD graphics card that combines high-end GPU performance with built-in storage. The card features a two‑fan cooler coated in matte white, which immediately sets it apart from the usual dark designs you see on the market. Although Colorful has not confirmed whether it is based on NVIDIA's new GB206 or GB207 architecture, either RTX 5050 or 5060, the real point of this product is the dual M.2 SSD slots on the back of the compact PCB. Users can simply slide in drives without any extra cables, and the heatsink mounting points are cleverly positioned between the storage bays and the rear I/O bracket.

Thanks to PCIe bifurcation, the card splits a standard x16 slot into eight lanes for the GPU and four lanes for each SSD, so neither graphics nor storage performance is compromised. Given that the PCIe bandwidth is more than enough for this GPU SKU, even an x8 lane is enough for performance to stay intact. By placing SSDs near active cooling, Colorful ensures they stay cool even under heavy workloads. Official specs and pricing are not yet available, but this hybrid design is sure to catch the eye of gamers and content creators looking for a sleek, high-capacity storage build.
