Nvidia has ordered 300,000 H20 GPUs from TSMC as Chinese demand surges, despite political backlash over national security risks. The U.S. still hasn’t approved export licenses, but Nvidia aims to retain its foothold in China’s AI market, where rivals like Huawei are gaining ground.
MSI is set to ship over 10 million motherboards in 2025, tying with Gigabyte—and without going full-throttle on AI servers. While rivals like ASUS and ASRock push into server gear, MSI is keeping its core consumer boundaries strong and ramping notebook and GPU volumes cautiously.
The U.S. administration has removed technology-based export restrictions to China in an effort to ease trade negotiations, prompting swift responses from industries announcing a resumption of sales and shipments.
Kioxia has started shipping samples of its ninth‑generation BiCS FLASH 512 Gb TLC chips built with CBA tech — pairing legacy memory cell layers with modern CMOS controllers. The result: improved performance, efficiency, and lower cost, while paving way for high‑capacity BiCS 10 launches.
Nvidia’s N1X SoC, featuring a 20-core CPU and 6,144 CUDA cores, has surfaced on Geekbench, matching the specifications of the GB10 Superchip. While its early performance trails that of the RTX 5070, the chip’s ARM+Blackwell design and 120W TDP hint at a future where integrated graphics can rival mid-tier GPUs.
AMD’s Threadripper 9000 CPUs are set to arrive on July 31, offering up to 64 Zen 5 cores, a 350W TDP, and quad-channel DDR5-6400 support. Prices remain unchanged from the previous gen, starting at $1,499. With 80 PCIe 5.0 lanes and boosted clocks up to 5.4 GHz, they aim squarely at creators and professionals.
Lisuan Technology has unveiled the 7G106 and 7G105, China’s first 6nm gaming and AI GPUs built on the TrueGPU architecture. With up to 24 TFLOPs, 24 GB of GDDR6, and performance rivalling the RTX 4060, these cards ran Black Myth: Wukong at 4K high settings at over 70 FPS. Mass production starts September 2025.
DSOGaming's EIC suffered a melted power connector on his RTX 5090 out of nowhere. Nevertheless, the GPU continued to function normally for over 20 minutes at full load, despite the issue.
