Memory crisis and sky-high DRAM prices could run past 2028 as Samsung and SK Hynix opt to 'minimize the risk of oversupply' News By Jeremy Laird published 2 days ago The two big memory makers want to stick with boom and avoid bust. US company Micron is planning to invest nearly $10 billion in...

Your dream handheld is here (probably costs 10x as much as a steam deck LCD on sale) More powerful than the base PS5, i reckon. Also you might get some form of FSR 4 support in future optimal operating range is 25watts to 55watts for the strix halo. Within this range you get linear scaling of...

$550 HP desktop black friday sale (many reporting cancellations after orders, ymmv) https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/omen-16l-gaming-desktop-tg03-0055m-pc-b73mkaa-aba

Looks like $750+ Buy this only if you can't wait 2 years

by 2027 this hardware will be obsolete, imo. They probably have a 2 year window to empty whatever stocks they have built-up Another chip of interest is releasing in 2027. It is the next gen z3 extreme used in handhelds like asus rog xbox ally x2 (which sell for $900+) It will have 24 CU RDNA...

Valve clarifies. This thing will not be priced like a normal desktop PC (below $700) but more like a proper SFF HTPC system ($750+) Valve confirms Steam Machine "won’t be subsidized" - VideoCardz.com Valve confirms no subsidies for Steam Machine, pricing to match PC builds...

True. But I expect RDNA 3 to get it by H1 next year.

This is probably an useful 'stop-gap' PC But not anything more than that. It looks like AMD dumped their unsold inventory on Valve. But valve could still be left holding the bill because of the memory super cycle My best bet is they sell the base 0.5 TB model at margin cost (maybe $600...

For reference, for $700, you can either buy a laptop with slightly better GPU (& additional display) or an NUC with much more powerful 9060xt 8gb GPU (Plus $80 for 16gb upgrade)...

AMD is completely out of the discrete laptop gpu market What they'll have in 2027 is large APUs with igpus powerful enough to make a separate laptop gpu redundant But that multi-chiplet solution will still be too costly for valve In 2029-2030 (zen 7) you can finally expect decently powerful...

Definitely it is coming for other OEMs also Be ready for the Steam Machine pro (maybe on the strix halo NUCs ??)

That is the cheapest that AMD could give them 12 threads should be enough but major issue with this apu could be that these 6 cores are spread across 2 different CCXs resulting in some latency (unlike Intel's Lunar Lake that would have been ideal for this use case) But anyways the biggest...
