Microsoft is increasing the minimum and recommended system requirements for Minecraft for the first time, 17 years after it launched. Although the system upgrade is quite reasonable and the hardware falls squarely within the most popular components in the most recent Steam Hardware Survey, those playing with a bare-minimum PC would have to upgrade their systems.

An FPGA and embedded systems expert has recreated the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat's Central Air Data Computer (CADC) in an FPGA. It is demonstrated in a scale 3D printed model aircraft

A computing enthusiast has repurposed a very noisy and largely obsolete enterprise GPU (with lots of VRAM) for local LLM inference purposes.

An app linked to the Vatican with hundreds of thousands of users was found to have zero authentication and security. That means anyone can access its backend and siphon users' data, including names, email addresses, and birthdates. While the issue has since been resolved, it remained open for six months (or longer) with the developers not taking any action.

Nvidia and SK Group enter $500 billion strategic partnership focused on long-term memory supply, 2 GW AI data center, and future AI infrastructure

Game Compressor leverages Windows' built-in LZX compression for substantial space savings and can save you hundreds of gigs across your game library.

An advanced fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter jet crashed spectacularly during a routine training mission in the Moscow region on Thursday," say reports published by Russian state media. But some Ukrainian sources are claiming it as successful sabotage.

Lockheed Martin has unveiled a ground-launched high-power microwave counter-drone system which cab 'neutralize up to 50 enemy drones in a single mission.'

Contemporary AI bots are far too competent at cybersecurity, and humanity may have reached a tipping point where it's hard to keep up.

Samsung and SK Hynix are expected to unveil multibillion-dollar memory-chip partnerships with major U.S. technology companies during South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's visit to San Francisco

EA's FC 27 is available in three options, starting at $69.99 for the base game and going up to $149.99 for the Ultimate Plus Edition. The top-tier option, which costs more than double than the Standard Edition, caused sticker shock for everyone and caught the ire of gamers.

U.S. President Donald Trump expands the 'ratepayer protection pledge' to include states, utility companies, and data center developers. He claims that the pledge will help electricity costs go down, even as PJM Interconnect, the largest grid operator in the U.S., increased power costs by 75.5% and slapped Maryland with a $2-billion bill for infrastructure upgrades.

AMD's Lisa Su shows off the company's roadmap through 2030, including teases of Zen 7 and Zen 8 CPUs.

AMD showed off its MI455X accelerator at its Advancing AI 2026 event, demonstrating its strong competitive performance, large HBM memory capacity, and Helios rack-scale architecture.

When AMD's Helios meets giant wafers from Cerebras, it is not like when Odysseus meets with the Laestrygonian Giants, they collaborate to build an ultimate data center solution.

TYLsemi is set to offer pre-validated chiplets, along with custom ASIC design services, and build highly custom multi-tile processors at relatively low costs.

After over a year of teases, AMD has finally provided details on its 256-core Venice CPU with the Zen 6 architecture, now known as the Epyc 9996.

AMD is returning to 3D V-Cache in its data center range of CPUs with Venice-X, which it has confirmed will launch in the second half of 2027, with 1152 MB of L3 and clock speeds up to 5.15 GHz.

Data center projects are facing increasing opposition from surrounding communities, making consent even far scarcer than the chips and power needed to run these facilities. Any developer planning to construct one must now consider the people living around the proposed site and take account for the months or years needed to approve it, if it even gets the green light.
