The DDR5 market goes crazy right now. On the German market, memory kits are sometimes twice as expensive as they were when they were launched a few months ago (or not available at all). This has also led to some memory manufacturers deciding not to launch new series at all.

A good addition to the lineup? AMD did today release the Ryzen 5 7500X3D, which is a very efficient six core CPU, but overpriced compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. We are also not sure whether six cores will still be future-proof in 2025.

There is a company making billions per quarter, but doing an increasingly bad job in terms of PR. They are giving a lot of infos, also the (in my opinion) important ones, but are holding back on basic stuff like photos of these announcements or are not providing them willingly.

Die shot from

. But this can't be the Maverick-2, because the aspect ratios look a bit strange, or rather, the HBM PHYs are positioned on the long side here. Or am I wrong? It's been a long week, so apologies in advance!

Interesting project by der8auer: Spray cooling with Novec 7000. Acceptable idle temperatures, nothing more. Just a POC. But, spray cooling was used with the Cray X1 supercomputer. Small holes in the heatspreader sprayed directly onto the small chips, and the gas was returned.

According to Prashanth Aprameyan, GM for Intel 18A & Intel 3 at Intel Foundry Services, Intel 18A-P will enter HVM by the end of 2026. This is following what Intels own roadmaps are showing. My question is: Which product(s) will use Intel 18A-P?

With Intel 18A the company will use Omni MIM capacitor on the backside of the BSPDN with a capacitive density of 397 fF/µm², while current designs can go up to 376 fF/µm² (on Intel 4) depending on wether this is multi-plate or single-plate design.

Qualcomm uses the N3 node by TSMC for the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme. But it's utilizing TSMCs FinFlex, so primarily N3P and for some parts N3X – for the Prime Cores for example. So Qualcomm gets the trade off between efficiency and performance for their monolithic design.
