Linux 6.19 is bringing significant memory management improvements to the Nouveau open-source NVIDIA graphics driver. The updates enable support for pages larger than the standard 4KiB page size and add compression support for newer hardware. These changes should benefit gaming and other graphics-int
AMD is rolling out its new Redstone suite of machine learning features starting with Ray Regeneration in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The technology functions similarly to Nvidia’s Ray Reconstruction but requires current-generation Radeon graphics cards and the latest Adrenalin drivers.
ADATA has partnered with MSI to create the world’s first 4-rank DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules, delivering up to 128GB capacity per stick. The breakthrough enables 256GB total memory on dual-DIMM motherboards, tested successfully on upcoming Z890 platforms. This represents a major leap for memory-intens
SpaceX-built spy satellites for the NRO are sending signals from space to Earth in a frequency band reserved for Earth-to-space transmissions. Researcher Scott Tilley detected the emissions from 171 of 193 satellites, raising concerns about potential interference and lack of transparency. The signal
Valve is launching a new Steam Machine in 2026 alongside a Steam Controller and Steam Frame VR headset. The company says it learned from the 2015 failure and now has Proton compatibility and better game support. Pricing hasn’t been revealed but could hit the $400 sweet spot.
StarTech has launched a driverless USB4 docking station that supports three 4K displays at 60Hz without requiring any software installation.
