In a world where PC gaming hardware is dominated by a handful of behemoths, whose foghorn message of «GET OUR STUFF, CRUSH YOUR FOES» is expressed in some truly awful product aesthetics, I'm just super-happy to see a manufacturer like Ayaneo treading a different path.
RAM chip manufacturer Micron has recently been making some interesting claims about its next generation of ultra-fast memory for graphics cards, GDDR7. Compared to what's currently being used (GDDR6X and GDDR6), Micron says its forthcoming tech is «expected to achieve greater than 30% improvement in frames per second for ray tracing and rasterization workloads.»
Now that the Micro ATX form factor has all-but been relegated to the budget end of the market, Mini-ITX is where it's at if you want to build a high-end small form factor system. But creating such a board with a premium feature set is not easy. It really does present some engineering challenges. The Asus ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming WiFi solves these challenges with some clever innovations, and as a result it manages to pack in a set of features only high-end ATX motherboards can beat.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has been hinted by a company executive to be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as the transition to custom Oryon cores is not a ‘chump change’ endeavor. Unfortunately, it is difficult to calculate how pricey the upcoming SoC will be because according to the latest rumor, smartphone OEMs have yet to place orders for it. It appears that even Qualcomm’s partners might be hesitant about incorporating the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in their upcoming flagships due to its high price, but their only other option now is MediaTek.
If you could open up one of the best gaming SSDs and dig inside its chips, you'd see that the flash memory is made up of many layers, hundreds in some models. Memory chip giant Kioxia is aiming to scale this all the way up to 1,000 layers by 2027, paving the way for 20 TB SSDs that could sell for as little as $250.
The Exynos 2500 rumors echoed a series of claims that made us believe that Samsung’s first 3nm GAA chipset meant for smartphones could finally be a worthy competitor to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Unfortunately, it was stated by an analyst that due to the poor yields of the Korean giant’s cutting-edge manufacturing process, the chipset would not arrive in time, meaning that the Galaxy S25 series would launch exclusively with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest flagship SoC. We now get to talk in-depth about another rumor stating that Samsung’s 3nm GAA yields are at less than 20 percent.
