The Hot Take: Is Nvidia pricing out AIB manufacturers to take the whole pie of selling their GPUs?
The ongoing component crisis has forced manufacturers to raise product prices around the world, which includes the best GPUs. MSI and PNY have just announced new prices for all RTX 50-series graphics cards for China, representing up to a 59% hike compared to MSRP. While Nvidia GPUs have been the most affected, offerings from Intel and AMD are also experiencing a similar predicament, according to Wccftech. MSI's price list actually shows the old prices (from a week ago) as well as the new ones, giving us an official percentage difference of…
The Hot Take: Interesting, we'll see if they get the ext GPU with the SoC internal GPU issues worked out but I'm still thinking Risc-V may do it better.
Windows on Arm systems were long regarded as an interesting alternative to conventional PCs, but they were significantly limited when it came to demanding hardware support. A current test now shows that this situation is gradually changing. A notebook with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite could be successfully operated with an external NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, […]
The Hot Take: Will have to take this with a bit rock of salt until we see the benches and real world performance. Just a price grab or actual performance?
AMD is apparently no longer satisfied with being perceived as a perennial underdog, and is reportedly choosing to make a bold statement by pricing its Helios rackscale solution at a hefty premium to NVIDIA's Rubin. What's more, AMD has reportedly managed to rope in Microsoft as the product's first confirmed client, demonstrating the utility that Helios offers even at its supposedly elevated price point. Futurum believes AMD will price Helios at $5 million to $5.5 million per rack, versus an expected retail price of $3.5 million to $4 million…
The Hot Take: We'll have to see, they just keep milking Ai at the cost of liquidating a whole other industry.
The GeForce RTX 50-series desktop graphics lineup has remained unchanged for just over a year now (since the introduction of the RTX 5050), and none of the conversations we've had at major trade shows suggests that a mid-cycle Super refresh will occur any time soon. But there are still signs that such an update could still happen at some point, and the latest sign comes from Seasonic, which has listed an RTX 5080 Super, an RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5070 Ti Super in its PSU wattage calculator. Go deeper with TH Premium: GPUs(Image credit:…
The Hot Take: This is an interesting collaboration between the two seeing intel keeps saying they're not going to stop GPU development.
Intel's Serpent Lake SoCs featuring NVIDIA's RTX GPU tiles as integrated graphics are expected to roll out by Q1 2028. Intel & NVIDIA's Co-Developed Serpent Lake SoCs Featuring Next-Gen CPU & GPU Architectures Rumored For Q1 2028 Last year, Intel announced that it was working with NVIDIA on a custom SoC that would incorporate NVIDIA's RTX GPU tiles. Intel stated that these SoCs will power a wide range of PCs that require the integration of these levels of CPUs & GPUs together into a single package. It looks like we have our first…
Intel's Arc Pro GPU journey began with the first-generation Alchemist A-series products, and last year, the company introduced its Battlemage B-Series products. The first generation of products was aimed at the budget segment, offering good perf/$, and while the positioning continues with the Battlemage lineup, it looks like Intel is slightly moving towards a higher-end segment with its Arc Pro B60, B65, and B70 series. This move comes at a time when AI is the talk of the town, and local AI agents are becoming more and more popular. Also,…

The Hot Take: Ai sucking everything up.
AMD's next-gen Radeon GPUs based on the RDNA 5 architecture are still far away from launch as memory shortages grip the PC segment. Memory Shortages & Rising Component Prices Are The Reason Behind AMD's Push Back on Radeon "RDNA 5" Gaming GPUs The Radeon RX 9000 GPUs based on the RDNA 4 graphics architecture launched last year. This year, AMD launched the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for gamers, still based on the RDNA 4 architecture. While the new card aims to provide gamers with a good 1440p solution, the majority of those who have been waiting…
The Hot Take: We'll see, they keep teasing it. But i feel they don't feel they have milked that Ai money cow enough to drop new hardware yet.
For almost a year, the RTX 50 Super series has been part of the rumor mill, but with the AI boom snatching production lines, causing memory prices to skyrocket, hype for the lineup had died down. Now, a potential RTX 5060 Super with 12GB of VRAM is apparently in the works, with the 50 Super series as a whole allegedly getting "back on track."
The Hot Take: The more GPUs the merrier, consumers win and get options and price points.
Intel has once again signaled that graphics processors remain a strategic part of its PC business, despite lingering uncertainty surrounding the future of its Arc desktop graphics card lineup.
The Hot Take: Tell me something I didn't know already. Why else would the GPU market go crazy prices wise?
A business-intelligence researcher said that the Chinese military has been actively acquiring Nvidia AI chips, even after the U.S. put export controls on them. Public documents show that some institutions ask for these chips either through the specifications they demand or by directly asking for Nvidia chips by name.
