For the first time in Steam history, 8-core CPUs have overtaken 6-core CPUs and GPUs with 16GB of VRAM have overtaken 8GB GPUs. Even though the hardware survey doesn’t represent everyone, it still indicates a paradigm shift for the mainstream market.

Micron’s New York manufacturing facility is back in the crosshairs of another environmental lawsuit, claiming its wastewater and air permits should be nullified.
The latest round of price increases affects the entire RTX 50 lineup, with premium models bearing the brunt of rising production costs.
Lexar’s latest Thor RGB kit likely uses CXMT-made DRAM, but its pricing remains comparable to premium DDR5 memory from established brands.

Practically every graphics card introduced since 2022 has had at least 6GB or 8GB of VRAM, but AMD is bucking that trend in 2026 with the new RX 9050 4GB. We dusted off two older 4GB cards to see if that little VRAM means an instant performance cliff.

AI, tariffs, and greed have put pressure on PC builders wanting a new GPU. Can you still get a cheap GPU?
The TinyGPU v2.0 ‘standalone GPU’ silicon works, and was demonstrated in a video after it came back from its Tiny Tapeout production run.

PC Games Hardware has retested the GTX 1080 Ti, along with its GP102 brethren, in a range of new games across multiple resolutions. The results reveal the obvious: the 1080 Ti is still a capable GPU at 1080p, mostly thanks to its 11GB VRAM buffer, but it’s highly inefficient by today’s standards.
A new report suggests AMD is cooking up a range of per-core optimizations for Zen 6 that might not seem huge on their own, but they could add up to make a world of difference in gaming performance.
3mdeb has introduced a new open-source firmware for the MSI B850-P WiFi, marking the first time open-source firmware has been introduced to the AM5 platform.
