Why RAM Prices Are Skyrocketing: Smartphone, PC and Gaming Console Prices to Be Impacted
A global shortage of DRAM memory chips, driven by demand from AI data centers, is causing severe price increases for PC and smartphone components. Some RAM prices have reportedly tripled in months, leading computer stores to stop displaying fixed prices due to market volatility. The impact is also felt in related sectors like GPUs, gaming consoles,...

Steam for Mac Now Available as Native Apple Silicon App With Latest Beta Release
Steam for Mac will soon run natively on Apple Silicon Mac computers. The latest Steam for macOS beta release now allows the main Steam client and its helper app to run natively on M-series Mac models. This transition delivers faster performance and improved memory efficiency, by dropping the use of Apple's Rosetta 2 translation layer.

Huawei Said to be Readying New AI Chip for Mass Shipment as China Seeks Nvidia Alternatives
Huawei plans to begin mass shipments of its advanced 910C AI chips to Chinese customers as early as next month. The timing is fortuitous for Chinese AI companies which have been left scrambling for domestic alternatives to the H20, the primary AI chip that Nvidia had until recently been allowed to sell freely in the Chinese market.

Apple, Nvidia Score Relief From US Tariffs With Exemptions
Trump’s administration exempted smartphones, computers and other electronics from its so-called reciprocal tariffs. The exclusions apply to smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives and computer processors and memory chips as well as flat-screen displays. Those popular consumer electronics items generally aren’t made in the US.

Japan’s Universal Memory Breakthrough Reduces Energy, Boosts Speed
Scientists in Japan have developed a new type of "universal memory" that could revolutionise computing. Their improved MRAM technology overcomes previous energy limitations by using a multiferroic heterostructure with a vanadium layer for stability. This allows for faster data processing while significantly reducing power consumption, making future...
