Micro Center has launched several Ryzen X3D bundle deals that could make gaming PC upgrades much easier at a time when memory prices remain painfully high. The standout offer pairs AMD’s Ryzen 7 9850X3D with an ASUS B850-E TUF Gaming motherboard for $499, which is the same price as the processor’s official standalone price. In simple terms, the motherboard is effectively included for free.

Nvidia says it prepared early for the current memory shortage, while other companies are now struggling with higher prices and tighter supply. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said the company expected memory prices to rise and had already placed orders well ahead of the market crunch. This is not fully repeated news.

Forza Horizon 6 is a strong PC release with a deep graphics menu, modern upscaling support, ultrawide support, uncapped frame rates, ray traced reflections, and ray traced global illumination.

The event is especially important this year because

AMD is reportedly preparing its next generation Zen 7 CPU architecture earlier than expected, with the lineup codenamed Grimlock and planned around TSMC’s A14 process. A14 is TSMC’s 1.4nm class technology, and the first Zen 7 products are expected around 2028 if the current supply chain timeline holds. The report says AMD has already started supply chain work for Zen 7, even though Zen

Samsung has reportedly developed its first 900 layer V NAND prototype, bringing the company closer to its long term goal of 1000 layer NAND.

It connects to the wider memory shortage and NAND supply discussion, but the main update is

Micron expects the memory shortage affecting HBM, DRAM, and NAND to last beyond 2026, as AI demand continues to grow faster than supply can expand. The warning came through comments shared by JPMorgan after Micron management spoke at the 54th J.P. Morgan Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference in Boston. This is not repeated news. It connects to the earlier RAM price pressure

Intel is reportedly working on a new Nova Lake CPU variant for edge computing, and the most interesting part is its unusual design. Instead of using a mix of performance cores and efficiency cores, this chip is said to use only 8 E cores, paired with a much stronger integrated GPU based on 12 Xe3P cores. The report comes from hardware leaker 金猪升级包 and

TSMC has moved quickly to reassure employees after rumors about possible bonus cuts triggered anger inside the company. The concern grew after comments from CEO C.C. Wei suggested that performance related bonuses were too high and could be reduced by around 20 to 30 percent. The timing made the situation more sensitive. TSMC is in one of the strongest financial positions in its history,

Lisuan’s LX 7G100 graphics card has sold out its first preorder batch after reaching 30,000 preorders, giving China’s new gaming GPU maker an early demand signal despite mixed first impressions from reviews.

The packaging shows the Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 GRE name in English,

Digital Foundry has tested PlayStation 5 as a PS3 emulation machine by running Linux on the console and using RPCS3 natively. The result is an interesting look at what Sony’s current hardware can do when it is pushed outside its normal system software, though this is not an official Sony backward compatibility feature and requires a PS5 running exploitable firmware. The setup used Linux

AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is getting cheaper in Japan, with the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16GB now listed from ¥52,800.

Any modern gaming GPU released in recent years

Microsoft has refreshed its Surface for Business lineup, but the launch arrived with almost no excitement. There was no major event, no livestream, and no strong public push. Instead, Microsoft shared details through blog posts and briefings, making the new Surface hardware easy to miss.

DriftGuard says it has found a way to recalibrate Xbox controller joysticks permanently, which could give players another option before replacing a drifting controller. The third party app already supported PlayStation controllers, but its latest breakthrough is focused on Xbox gamepads.
