The new Dimensity 7450 and 7450X chipsets do not offer a generational upgrade but a refresh, maintaining the same octa-core setup and GPU as their predecessors.

The small form factor SSDs that Microsoft manufactures with Seagate for the Xbox Series X and S aren't proprietary, instead using a format that has been used with digital cameras for some time.

Due to the global shortage of semiconductors and other factors, it is anticipated that supply will not be able to meet demand for CFexpress memory cards and SD memory cards for the foreseeable future.

A severe shortage of NAND flash, driven by the enormous demand for it to expand AI data centers, makes procurement impossible. Sony is currently unable to fulfill orders for CFexpress Type A, CFexpress Type B, and SDXC/SDHC memory cards.

After Google released its TurboQuant compression algorithm, which can purportedly drastically reduce the amount of memory required for certain AI workflows, stock prices for memory manufacturers dropped significantly.

Both work with Linux's existing swapping mechanism. Swapping (called paging in Windows) is a way for the kernel to handle running low on available RAM. It chooses pages of memory that aren't in use right now and copies them to disk, then those blocks can be marked as free and reused for something else.

Seagate Technology ( ) reported its fiscal second-quarter 2026 earnings yesterday, and the results beat Wall Street expectations on both revenue and earnings per share. The company brought in $2.83 billion in revenue, topping the consensus estimate of around $2.75 billion. On the bottom line, non-GAAP earnings came in at $3.11 per share, well above the expected $2.83. This strong showing was largely driven by robust demand for high-capacity storage solutions needed for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as data centers handling massive AI workloads.

Normally $59.99 - and definitely not worth it at that price compared to other models that are typically less on a regular basis - it's down to $39.99 at a ton of retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart.

In the not-so-distant past, the solution for boosting the speed of an aging, sluggish PC was to add more RAM or upgrade the processor. Now, the way to sail over that speed bump is to get a new storage drive, and there's no better storage upgrade for performance than fitting your system with an M.2 drive. Also: What is MoCA 2.5? How this low-cost networking option can seriously improve your internet There is no shortage of excellent M.2 drives out there, but if you're looking for high-end performance and stability when the going gets tough, the is well worth a look.

The company has developed 16 gigabit LPDDR6 chips that will be used in smartphones and tablets with on-device AI. Bandwidth-hungry AI tasks will see a 33% speed-up in data processing compared to LPDDR5X. The new RAM has a base operating speed of 10.7Gbps.

Professionals often need more than just capacity. They require better performance for handling full HD and 4K video, enhanced durability and reliability to withstand frequent use and harsh environments, and a broader range of options to meet specific needs.

As investors turned their back on software (notably, the seat-based software-as-a-service companies), they're turned towards hardware in a big-time way. You wouldn't know it by looking at those flat shares of Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA), but the iShares Semiconductor ETF ( NASDAQ:SOXX) is up around 13% year to date, with few signs of slowing down. The winners within semis have been broad, but the undisputed kings of the 2026 semiconductor surge belongs to the memory and storage stocks.

Nothing recently began teasing its upcoming Phone (4a) series on social media. The Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro are set to be unveiled on March 5, featuring upgraded design and hardware. Ahead of the launch, Nothing has confirmed that the lineup will use Snapdragon chipsets but has not specified the exact model. However, recent leaks and a Geekbench listing suggest that both phones will be equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC.

With this setup, the Samsung SSD achieved read speeds of roughly 4,000 MB/s and write speeds of about 1,300 MB/s. Those are great numbers. Accessing files felt instantaneous. It took no time at all to open the movie I stored inside the drive. The read speed also shows that the enclosure isn't restricting the drive. It's making full use of the Thunderbolt connection. Writing large files is equally impressive, letting users save big files fast.

Well, you can, but there are a couple of features that are pretty specific to the Raspberry Pi Flash Drive. The first is SMART health reporting and support for TRIM. While I've come across a few drives that had the chips to do this, I can't think of any other flash drives off the top of my head that offer this.

Ayaneo started teasing the Pocket Play, its first smartphone, back in November, and then in December it showed us what it would look like, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play vibes and all. Today, Ayaneo has finally revealed the chipset sitting at the helm of the Pocket Play. It's MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. That's an odd choice, given that the SoC in question came out in 2023. Sure, it was MediaTek's top dog of 2023, but it's more than two years old.

This 5,000mAh/19Wh wireless charging power bank is perfectly designed to fit the iPhone. It measures 4.0 x 2.7 x 0.4 in/102.7 x 68 x 11 mm and weighs 4.8 oz/137 g. The magnetic wireless charger is built to Qi2 standards, which means that it can output up to 15W of power for a fast charge. The magnets are also strong enough to securely hold the charger to the phone when in use.
