AIB partners for AMD at the Computex 2026 show floor have said they expect next-gen RDNA 5 gaming GPUs to land sometime in the second half of 2027, or maybe even in early 2028. That launch schedule lines up closely with Nvidia's RTX 60 series, which is also expected in late 2027 based on current rumors.

Google's $920-million-a-month deal with SpaceX will let it secure 110,000 Nvidia GPUs starting October 2026. This is the second data center deal that SpaceX has secured in a matter of weeks, especially as it's quickly approaching its IPO on June 12, 2026.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out and it's showing positive signs of growth for AMD, while Intel is unfortunately on a decline. The Red Team posted its best-ever CPU market share numbers in May 2026 with 45% of all CPUs on Windows being from AMD, while Intel is down to 55%, which is still more for now.

Intel introduces two new Raptor Lake CPUs in its Core 200H series lineup featuring disabled integrated graphics chips. The new CPUs are likely geared towards SFF desktops rather than laptops and 2-in-1 devices.

Industry insiders say that RAM prices will continue to go up in the next eight to nine months, as the memory chip crisis goes from bad to worse. While retailers make moves to temporarily reduce prices, these will eventually run out, so if you need to buy RAM, you should buy it now.

Taiwanese startup FormulaV Line wants to break into the U.S. market with these two new and unique cases. It also showed off a plethora of other components, including PSUs, cooling solutions, and even a gaming chair on the showfloor at Computex 2026.

Finnish companies and academic institutions, alongside the Finnish Navy and Border Guards, worked together to develop a system that used existing undersea cables to detect potential disturbances on the seabed. This system would allow the authorities to respond to any detected anomaly, potentially preventing critical undersea infrastructure from getting damaged.

A quirky tech enthusiast attempted to load Sega Genesis console games through a vinyl record player.

Intel's Wildcat Lake refresh that's supposedly debuting next year will shift focus to a more upmarket audience, only refreshing its Core 5 and Core 7 tiers. The new silicon at the top-end would feature 8 cores, up from 6 cores on Wildcat Lake right now, with the 4 P-cores and 4 LP-E cores. The Core 3 parts are claimed to remain unchanged.

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."

A coalition of nine U.S. trade associations has urged the Trump administration to address an AI-driven memory chip shortage, warning that soaring DRAM prices and constrained supply could raise costs for consumer electronics, automobiles, medical devices, and broadband infrastructure while disrupting supply chains through at least 2027.

TSMC says it does not have enough capacity to handle all the demand from AI hyperscalers, with CEO C.C. Wei saying that it will take a long time before it can match customer demand. This is an opportunity for Intel, though, as companies desperate to get their hands on advanced chips might be willing to use Intel 18A or 14A nodes for their needs instead.
