Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D hit retail on March 12, according to official AMD outlet in China
Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D hit retail on March 12, according to official AMD outlet in China
New listings at AMD’s official JD.com store suggest the retail embargo for its Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors will lift on March 12 (via ITHome). JD.com, alternatively known as Jingdong, is an online e-commerce company that is ranked as China’s largest B2C retailer by revenue. Courtesy of HXL, AMD has priced these CPUs at $770 and $630, respectively, reflecting a moderate increase over their predecessors, at least in the ******** market. Note that (pre-*****) listings in China are not wholly indicative of global pricing and availability.
AMD announced high-core count Ryzen 9000X3D offerings at CES, promising retail availability by Q1 2025. Without discussing pricing, it showcased how these CPUs stack up versus their Zen 4 counterparts and Intel’s troubled Arrow Lake processors, claiming 20% higher FPS on average versus the Core Ultra 9 285K.
Ryzen 9000X3D processors leverage AMD’s 2nd generation V-Cache technology, with the SRAM packaged beneath the CCD. Dual-CCD models like the 9950X3D and 9900X3D still have V-Cache implemented on only one of the CCDs, so the total cache count remains unchanged.
Last month, a reliable leaker from China alleged the review embargo for the 9950X3D ends March 11th, which lines up with what we’re seeing today at AMD’s JD store. As for pricing, HXL used a special plugin designed for JD.com which allowed them to view prices across different regions. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D are listed at 5599 RMB ($770) and 4599 RMB ($630), representing a 5% and 2% higher price versus the launch prices (in China) for the last-gen 7950X3D and 7900X3D.
JD Pre-***** 9950X3D9950X3D: 5599 RMB*7950X3D: 5299 RMBhttps://t.co/a5O0eNcbYWMarch 6, 2025
Keep in mind that China generally imposes a 13% VAT (Value Added Tax), so the expected global prices drop to $670 and $550 for both CPUs before tax, but that’s no more than a guess. Earlier in February, data scrapers revealed potential $699 and $599 price-tags from Newegg. So which one is it? The latest information suggests a $50 drop in MSRP over Ryzen 7000X3D, which seems unlikely since Arrow Lake’s gaming performance has been weaker than anticipated. It’s hard to conclude as these prices are based on pre-***** listings so it’s best to wait for an official statement.
Even though AMD says the 9950X3D and 9900X3D can deliver comparable gaming performance to the 9800X3D, the latter will inevitably hold an advantage in certain titles. The high core count models are more geared towards productivity, so customers will have a wide array of CPUs to choose from, depending on their needs. All that’s left is an announcement from AMD where we expect further details on pricing and availability.

The Excellent D&D Movie’s Writers Are Turning Another Game Into A Film
The Excellent D&D Movie’s Writers Are Turning Another Game Into A Film
This year marks the 90th anniversary of Monopoly, one of the most popular board games in the world. Hollywood has been attempting to make a Monopoly movie for the better part of the last two decades, but the project has finally picked up some momentum by adding the screenwriters and directors of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are closing their deals to write the script for Monopoly. However, their deal doesn’t appear to include an option to direct the film as well. Daley and Goldstein co-wrote Horrible Bosses, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Vacation Friends, in addition to directing Vacation, Game Night, and the upcoming Apple Studios movie Mayday.
Margot Robbie joined the Monopoly movie last year as a producer through her production company LuckyChap, which is working with Hasbro Entertainment and Lionsgate on the project. The movie doesn’t currently have any cast members attached to it.
Adapting Monopoly into a scripted format is a challenge that previous writers and directors weren’t quite able to solve. Alien director Ridley Scott was attached to direct Monopoly in 2008, back when the film rights were at Universal Pictures. A few years after Universal stopped work on the film, the project was picked up by Lionsgate. In 2019, Monopoly was being reworked as a Kevin Hart vehicle with Barbershop and Fantastic Four director Tim Story attached to helm it. But that iteration of the film did not go forward.
A new edition of the Monopoly board game was released earlier this year, which includes expansion packs. Monopoly has also been adapted as a video game numerous times, including the mobile title Monopoly Go! and Ubisoft’s Monopoly on PC and modern consoles.

‘We’re thinking of everyone’: Broncos destroy the Roosters before focus shifts to getting home safely
‘We’re thinking of everyone’: Broncos destroy the Roosters before focus shifts to getting home safely
The Broncos produced one of the most emphatic 80-minute performances you’ll ever see in round one to trounce the Roosters, with Michael Maguire’s side then forced to head across Sydney to begin a hectic return trip home to be with their loved ones before Tropical Cyclone Alfred makes landfall.
It had been a chaotic build-up for the Broncos who landed in Sydney on Tuesday, while fellow Queensland club the Dolphins had their game against the Rabbitohs relocated to NSW to ensure the match could go ahead.
Playing a road game is hard enough without worrying about whether your family is safe, but it didn’t affect the Broncos who were simply brilliant in their 50-14 thrashing of the Roosters.
“It says a lot about the players,” Maguire said.
“One thing that I’ve seen since arriving at the club is that there’s a strong connection between the players.
“They’ve experienced plenty, so for myself to come into a group that’s been together for a while and gone through challenging times together, they’ve put their heads down and worked really hard.
“It says a lot about the group and what they’re willing to do for each other.”
The Broncos produced some incredible tries on Thursday night, with winger Selwyn Cobbo grabbing a hat-trick as Reece Walsh, Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds tortured the defence.
There’s usually a long gap between full-time and the winning captain and coach arriving for the press conference, but Reynolds was there within minutes given the team had to travel to Bankstown to board a charter flight to Toowoomba where they’d travel two hours by bus to get back to Brisbane.
“It’s sort of the unknown,” Reynolds said.
“I don’t think too many people have been through a cyclone, so for us, it’s about getting home as soon as possible and being with our loved ones and making sure that we’re all okay.
“We’re thinking of everyone that’s going to be affected by the cyclone. It’s not something we want to go through, but it’s important to hunker down and make sure everyone’s okay and check in on each other.
“We checked in on them (our families) early, and then we had 80 minutes to worry about out there.
“Everyone is doing fine back home at the moment. We had a job to do here for 80 minutes, and now we can turn our attention to getting back home and being with our families.”

8 Biggest Horror Games Coming in 2025
8 Biggest Horror Games Coming in 2025
The horror game market continues to thrive and 2025’s schedule is lining up a multi-course meal of fear-inducing, hair-reducing cowering and crying. 2025 has a myriad of big horror games from well-known sequels to potential breakout hits.
I find horror in games makes films look like child’s play—and I don’t mean any dangerous dolls. A movie forces you to watch what happens, whereas in a game, you are responsible for the action unfolding. You have to push your character along, advance the narrative, and trigger jumpscares and premeditated psychological horror.
It’s daunting when you think about it, yet players can’t get enough. To appease the morbid curiosity in all of us, here’s a list of the biggest upcoming horror games in 2025, sure to scare and scar you one way or another.
Biggest Horror Games Releasing in 2025
Many of these 2025 horror game release dates could be subject to change. The volatility of the game industry and sudden technical problems means any title is a delay away from a 2026 or 2027 release date. That being said, let’s get into it.
Directive 8020
Unsettling. Credit to Supermassive Games
Supermassive Games is one of the pioneers of the horror genre in the last 15 years. The acclaimed Until Dawn kickstarted this Hall of Fame-worthy horror march. Directive 8020 is the latest in The Dark Pictures Anthology—featuring The Quarry, Little Hope, and others—and features the series’ trademarks. Expect to tackle sudden quick-time events and critical story-changing decisions while you explore the unknown of the Cassiopeia.
Dying Light The Beast
We’re ready for more mutations. Credit to Techland
Dying Light The Beast brings back OG protagonist Kyle Crane as we embark on another adventure of parkour and parasitical purgatory. The Beast is a separate sequel from Dying Light 2, and Techland is looking to bring together a more compact and equally chaotic experience. As before, Dying Light The Beast’s world is a terrifying ordeal during the day and almost unsurvivable at night. You’ll need to unlock the beast within to help Crane rise high.
Killing Floor 3
Can’t we be friends? Credit to Tripwire Interactive
Imagine Call of Duty Zombies’ renowned round-based gameplay, but with even faster, more vicious, and grotesque enemies. Killing Floor 3 is the meaner and nastier undead sibling in the zombies family and builds on Killing Floor 2’s good work. The M.E.A.T system is back to delight and disgust, and the new Zed design is likely to put you off your tea—sick bags on stand by.
Little Nightmares 3
Phew, someone by my side. Credit to Supermassive Games
2025 is proving to be a big year for Supermassive Games as the developer is pulling double duty. Developer Tarsier Studios has moved onto pastures new, and someone needed to pick up the remnants of the beloved franchise. In steps Supermassive Games to deliver Little Nightmares 3 and bring co-op multiplayer in a series first. We have a new developer, new main characters in Low and Alone, and reasons to be thankful and fearful.
Reanimal
Excited for this one. Credit to Tarsier Studios
We segue nicely to Reanimal—the new IP from Little Nightmares 1 and 2 developer Tarsier Studios. Even from the screenshot above you can see an uncanny resemblance and deliberate inspiration for the horror title. Unsurprisingly, you need to solve puzzles, escape and avoid unspeakable enemies, and it also includes co-operative play in case you need to squeeze the hand of the person next to you.
State of Decay 3
It’s been long enough. Credit to Undead Labs
Full disclosure: State of Decay 3 MIGHT not be releasing in 2025.
It’s currently the only entry on this list in serious jeopardy of this deadline. A potential delay to 2026 or 2027 is on the cards, so bear this in mind, but no one truly knows. If it releases in 2025, developer Undead Labs has likely put all its infected blood, sweat, and tears into it. There’s a healthy development cycle between each State of Decay release, and the 2024 Xbox Showcase footage we saw of State of Decay 3 heightens survival, and the game demands your time, respect, and attention.
The Midnight Walk
Got a light? Credit to MoonHood
Just looking at The Midnight Walk makes me anxious. It’s ingenious, stop-motion clay-orientated horror works so well because it’s seldom seen. Its art styles alone make me want to play it. If you dare to jump into The Midnight Walk, you’ll need to do more than walk around to survive the antagonistic threat of monsters.
The Sinking City 2
Why do I even bother? Credit to Frogwares
The Sinking City 2 is a sequel and another special loveletter to Lovecraftian themes. Unlike escape and survival, like many entries on our best and biggest horror games 2025 list, you can attack in The Sinking City 2. But you also need to venture into the deepest recesses of your brain to engage your deductive reasoning senses. The sequel builds upon the original’s detective mechanics, and happens to throw a 200ft monster or two at you in the process. Sherlock Holmes didn’t have to deal with this!
Are there any big-time horror hitters I’ve missed from this list nailed on for 2025? How many of these petrifying propositions are on your wanted list? Please drop a comment to let us know why horror keeps you coming back.
We have more fun lists to check out at Insider Gaming: Best co-op games like It Takes Two & Split Fiction, All Xbox Exclusive Games coming to PlayStation, and the biggest PlayStation games coming in 2025.

French battery maker ACC welcomes EU auto sector support but fears it’s too late
French battery maker ACC welcomes EU auto sector support but fears it’s too late
PARIS (Reuters) – French battery maker Automotive Cells Company said on Thursday it welcomed support from the European Union for the auto sector, but also feared that it would come too late.
The European Commission unveiled an action plan for the auto industry on Wednesday to help it meet a target for zero carbon emissions from any cars and vans sold in the region by 2035.
It included making available 1.8 billion euros ($1.94 billion) to help secure supply chains for battery raw materials.
ACC, which is jointly owned by Stellantis, Mercedes and TotalEnergies, said in a post on LinkedIn that it welcomed the support from a “medium-term action plan” to help Europe’s industry close the gap with Asian producers.
“Nevertheless, we fear that the urgency of the situation we are currently going through is not being considered. To benefit from it, we will have to have managed to survive until then,” it added.
ACC has sharply slowed its battery production plans due to uncertainty over electric vehicle demand in Europe and the emergence of more affordable battery chemistries.
When it launched its first gigafactory in northern France in May 2023 the group was planning nine production blocks by 2030, spread across France, Germany and Italy, backed by 7.3 billion euros in investment.
But the ******* and Italian projects have since been put on hold, and only one block in France producing batteries for Stellantis is operational, with a second to start at the end of the year.

Intel shareholder lawsuit dismissed — complaints stemmed from single-day $32B devaluation in 2024
Intel shareholder lawsuit dismissed — complaints stemmed from single-day $32B devaluation in 2024
A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit against Intel, which accused the company and its management of hiding financial troubles of its semiconductor manufacturing division in 2023, reports Reuters. The U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco ruled that plaintiffs failed to present evidence that Intel and its executives committed any wrongdoing. The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs can file an amended complaint with stronger evidence.
Plaintiffs had argued that Intel and its then-CEO Pat Gelsinger and then-CFO David Zinsner concealed a $7 billion loss of its Intel Foundry unit in 2023, which led to stock inflation as well as a consequent massive $32 billion drop of the company’s market capitalization in April 2024, when the company disclosed losses of its newly formed Intel Foundry division for 2023 and Q1 2025.
Starting in Q1 2024, Intel implemented its ‘internal foundry’ model, making its product divisions and external clients purchase manufacturing and packaging services from Intel Foundry, a separate division within the company. Before this, Intel only reported results for Intel Foundry Services (IFS), which catered exclusively to external customers.
On April 2, 2024, Intel fully disclosed its segment reporting changes and had to recast past financials, revealing that Intel Foundry lost $7 billion in 2023. This revelation triggered a sharp decline in Intel’s stock. The court determined this loss was not solely tied to Intel Foundry Services, the division responsible for making chips for outside companies, contradicting investors’ claims, but was attributed to Intel Foundry, a division that worked with both Intel and external customers
The lawsuit also challenged statements by Gelsinger and Zinsner, particularly Gelsinger’s claim of ‘significant traction’ and ‘growing demand’ for the foundry business. The court ruled these statements were not misleading because they referred to specific customer engagements rather than overall financial health of Intel and Intel Foundry.
Plaintiffs also pointed to Intel’s 26% stock drop after announcing layoffs and a dividend suspension in mid-2024, claiming it was evidence of misleading practices. However, the court ruled that a stock decline alone is not proof of fraud, as Intel has always had competitive challenges and publicly discussed its cost-saving strategy and restructuring plans.
Although the lawsuit was dismissed, the judge will allow investors to revise their complaint and refile. Intel declined to comment on the ruling, while legal representatives for the shareholders did not immediately respond to inquiries.

Bond yields rise globally; ******* bunds continue selloff
Bond yields rise globally; ******* bunds continue selloff
Traders across the globe are monitoring updates to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policy.

Government borrowing costs rose across the globe on Thursday, with ******* bonds resuming the sell-off that sparked the biggest daily jump in yields since the country’s reunification 35 years ago.
Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, meaning that yields tick higher when the value of the asset declines.
Yields on ******* government bonds — known as bunds — skyrocketed on Wednesday, with the yield on the 10-year debt instruments adding around 30 basis points. The sell-off came after lawmakers from parties widely expected to form Germany’s next coalition government agreed to plans to reform historic debt policy rules to allow an increase in national defense spending.
******* government borrowing costs continued to rise on Thursday across the board. The yield on the 10-year bund, seen as a benchmark for the wider euro zone, was 7 basis points higher at 12:28 p.m. London time, paring earlier highs. The yields on 5- and 20-year bunds were up by 4 basis points and 6 basis points, respectively. Simultaneously, the DAX index — home to Germany’s biggest companies — touched on a record high.
Deutsche Bank Research Strategist Jim Reid said in a note to clients on Thursday morning that Germany’s political gear shift had helped fuel a greater appetite for riskier assets in Europe.
“In terms of reactions, the rise in the 10-year bund yield was the biggest daily jump since ******* reunification in 1990,” he said, noting that the euro and Germany’s DAX index had jumped in the wake of the news. “There’s no doubt that markets are pricing in a once-in-a-generation policy regime shift, which has brought about a huge risk-on move for European assets.”
“In terms of the drivers behind the sell-off, anticipation of a fiscal boost to demand was front and center as evidenced both by the outperformance of ******* stocks and the rise in inflation expectations,” analysts at RaboBank said in a note out on Thursday morning, pointing to 10-year euro zone inflation swaps jumping by 14 basis points in the wake of political news out of Germany.
Dampened appetite to lend to governments was seen across Europe on Thursday, with yields edging higher on bonds across the region.
The upward move in European borrowing costs also come ahead of the latest monetary policy update from the European Central Bank. Markets are anticipating a quarter-point rate cut when the central bank announces its decision later on Thursday, which would bring the euro zone’s core interest rate down to 2.5%.
Italian 10-year bond yields jumped 8 basis points by 12:29 p.m. in London, while French 10-year bond yields were up 7 basis points, and Swiss 10-year yields jumped by around 5 basis points during early afternoon trade.
The yield on U.K. 10-year government bonds – known as gilts – was up by around 6 basis points. Earlier this year, U.K. government borrowing costs hit multi-decade highs amid rising economic uncertainty.
Further afield, the bond sell-off extended into Japanese markets, with the yield on Japan’s 10-year government bonds gaining 7 basis points during Thursday trading hours.
Naeem Aslam, chief investment officer at London’s Zaye Capital Markets, told CNBC that traders should monitor bond yields in Japan, some of which came near 16-year highs on Thursday.
“Watch Japan’s rising yields despite capped rates — [they] could signal broader market tension,” he said in emailed comments.
In the U.S., the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury was last seen trading 4 basis points higher at around 4.311%.
Marc Ostwald, chief economist and global strategist at ADM Investor Services, told CNBC on Thursday that he saw two main drivers behind the global bonds sell-off.
“One is the fear that Trump’s tariff wars will be inflationary,” he said in emailed comments.
He added that the “‘whatever it takes’ 2.0” approach to European defense of Friedrich Merz, who is likely to become Germany’s next chancellor, was also piling pressure on bond prices.
“[This], which along with EU commitment to ramp up defence spending by [around] 800 billion euros ($864 billion), implying a big increase in government borrowing, [comes] at a time where debt loads outside of Germany are at record levels, Ostwald said.
Ralf Preusser, global head of G10 rates and FX strategy at Bank of America Global Research, told by email on Thursday that markets were struggling with three areas of uncertainty globally: tariffs, geopolitics and U.S. fiscal policy.
“While the details of all of these matter, for now the uncertainty shock dominates, in a way the rates market is finding difficult to price,” he said. “The Fed may struggle to deliver quick cuts given inflation risks, Europe is no longer funding the U.S. fiscal expansion, but its own, [and] tariffs and geopolitics are still more damaging for the rest of the world than the U.S.”
In Europe specifically, Preusser said Germany’s new political footing was challenging Bank of America’s outlook.
“Germany is delivering a paradigm shift in its fiscal stance,” he said. “We believe 10y bund [yields] could reach 2.75% in response. This considerable departure from our base case is not the only challenge to our assumptions for 2025: the correction in U.S. equity markets and the rally in front-end U.S. rates suggest we may need to rethink the risks around our forecasts more broadly.”
Emmanouil Karimalis, rates strategist at UBS Investment Bank, also said that the market had “clearly” responded to Germany’s proposed fiscal reforms, as well as the EU’s ReArm Europe plan.
“These plans suggest a significant increase in issuance patterns due to the urgent need to boost defence spending in Europe,” he said in emailed comments on Thursday. “Consequently, investors demand higher premia to absorb the expected increase in supply. While there are also implications for growth and inflation, we believe that the fiscal news and supply considerations have dominated this week.”

Republican senators show little interest in scrapping CHIPS Act, despite Trump’s call
Republican senators show little interest in scrapping CHIPS Act, despite Trump’s call
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump publicly called for repeal of the CHIPS Act during a televised speech before Congress, criticizing it for delivering wasteful corporate subsidies. While House Speaker Mike Johnson applauded Trump’s remarks, many Republican lawmakers, him included, were caught off guard and showed little interest in undoing the legislation, reports NBC.
“Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing,” Trump said. “We give hundreds of billions of dollars, and it does not mean a thing. All that was important to them was they did not want to pay the tariffs. You should get rid of the CHIPS Act. And whatever is left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt. Or any other reason you want to.”
The CHIPS Act, passed in 2022 with bipartisan support, allocated $280 billion (in cash, loan guarantees, and tax credits) to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and research. It has already spurred investments from companies like Intel, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, SK Hynix, Texas Instruments, TSMC, and many others across different states. The CHIPS Office estimated that the legislation and incentives motivated semiconductor companies to commit to making $400 billion – $500 billion investments in the U.S. industry.
Mike Johnson has a history of changing his views on the CHIPS and Science Act. Johnson initially suggested repealing the law in 2023 if Trump become the president, but quickly reversed his position after recognizing its importance in battleground districts. When asked about the future of the act this week, Johnson did not commit to a repeal but acknowledged the need for reforms. He expressed concerns about how the Biden administration was implementing the program and indicated that Republicans would review Trump’s upcoming budget proposal before making decisions. Other Republican senators, including Todd Young and John Cornyn, defended the law they helped to craft, arguing it has strengthened U.S. supply chains and national security.
Democratic leaders are strongly against the idea of repeal. Senate ********* Leader Chuck Schumer of New York emphasized that the law was designed to strengthen national security, outcompete China, and rebuild U.S. supply chains. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the country’s reliance on foreign semiconductor production. She argued that the legislation had already begun delivering economic benefits.
Key Republican aides indicated in conversations with NBC there were no immediate plans to take action, as other legislative issues were more pressing. Senate Republicans also showed little enthusiasm for undoing the law, acknowledging its widespread economic impact, the difficulty of unraveling ongoing investments, and the time constraints of upcoming legislative sessions.
Even if Republicans wanted to dismantle the act, doing so would be difficult. The CHIPS Act passed with bipartisan support, and with Republicans holding only 53 Senate seats, they would struggle to reach the 60-vote threshold needed for repeal. Additionally, federal funding has already been allocated to projects across more than 20 states, making it legally and politically complicated to unwind.

Major Patch on the way for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Major Patch on the way for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is the biggest RPG of 2025 so far, and has enjoyed a wildly successful launch. But for the development team at Warhorse Studios, this is far from the end of the story. The official release date for the next big patch has now been revealed.
The release date is set for Wednesday, 12 March, and was announced on their official Instagram.
In the image, we can see Henry sitting down for a nice, relaxing haircut. So it’s pretty clear that soon enough, we’ll all be able to choose our own hair and beard styles for our respective Henry’s. This is a welcome bit of customization, but like many fans of the game, I’m left wondering when we’ll see a hardcore mode.
You see, I’m in my second playthrough and I can tell you, the second time around is far easier, making it a tad boring. A hardcore mode would add so much to replayability.
Apart from the barber update, we’re not sure what else might form a part of the next patch. According to the roadmap, we can expect modding support quite soon, but for now, the barber mode is all that’s been confirmed (via the Instagram post above).
We can only hope that modding support and a hardcore mode will follow real soon, as many players eagerly await these key features.
There are also three DLCs planned throughout the year, giving Kingdom Come 2 fans a lot to look forward to. Personally, I can’t wait to see what’s next for Henry.

Top Wall Street analyst calls Thursday like Nvidia
Top Wall Street analyst calls Thursday like Nvidia
Here are Thursday’s biggest calls on Wall Street: Evercore ISI names Amazon a top pick Evercore moved Amazon to top pick status and said it’s very bullish on Amazon Web Services. ” AMZN: AWS’ AI business is now a multi-billion dollar revenue run rate business that continues to grow at a triple-digit Y/Y percentage, growing more than three times faster at this stage of its evolution than AWS did in the early days of Cloud.” Bernstein reiterates Nvidia as outperform The firm said Nvidia has a data center opportunity that is undervalued. “The datacenter opportunity is enormous, and still early, with material upside still possible.” JPMorgan downgrades Campbell Soup neutral from overweight JPMorgan said in its downgrade of Campbell that “snack trends remain sluggish.” “We therefore see fewer reasons for optimism than we previously did, and we view the stock as trading close to fair value.” Baird reiterates Tesla as outperform Baird added a bearish fresh pick on the stock and lowered its price target to $370 per share from $440. The firm says it’s concerned about delivery numbers. “Adding Bearish Fresh Pick given near-term headwinds.

“We cannot afford to depend on others to keep us safe”, Metsola tells EU leaders | News
“Too much is at stake, and we cannot wait any longer”, she argued, stressing the urgency for Europe to take care of its own security.
On Ukraine, she stressed that “Peace must be a real one that does not simply lull all into a false sense of security by allowing an aggressor to keep trying to take over sovereign nations. Peace must guarantee freedom for Ukraine, security for Europe and a deterrent for those who think they can take it through force.”
On defence, she called on the EU to invest more in defence: “Our ambition must match the unprecedented threat, the boldness of our proposals, and the speed at which they are put into action.” She was encouraged to see many good proposals on the table. “Extraordinary times require immediate measures, so I welcome all creative and flexible solutions to substantially increase and accelerate our investments in the defence sector.”
She reassured leaders that the European Parliament can adjust to demanding circumstances by moving quickly, efficiently and effectively. “Working through the European Parliament, especially on decisions of this magnitude, is a way of fostering trust in our Union. Yes, we need swift action, but acting together is the only way of ensuring broad and deep public backing.”
Speaking about the next Multiannual Financial Framework, she called on leaders to “align our EU budget with our priorities. We have a real opportunity to fund the strategic autonomy we need,” she said.

Aid worker describes escape from Russian missile attack in Ukraine
Aid worker describes escape from Russian missile attack in Ukraine
Karol Swiacki
Karol Swiacki and Marc Edwards survived a missile strike on the hotel they were staying at in Kryvyi Rih
A ***-based aid worker said he, his friends and colleagues were “so lucky to be alive” after they narrowly escaped a Russian missile attack on a hotel in Ukraine on Wednesday night that left at least four dead.
Karol Swiacki, a Polish national and founder of the Bournemouth-based charity Ukraine Relief, was at the Central Hotel in Kryvyi Rih having dinner with friends when the missile struck.
“We are all safe we didn’t have a scratch, it is incredible,” Mr Swiacki told BBC News, adding “we still don’t know how we survived this, honestly.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram that more than 30 people were wounded in the attack and rescuers were still at the scene.
The charity worker – who has previously won a BBC award – is in Ukraine carrying out aid relief work including delivering sports equipment and renovating a school for 550 children.
He is also visiting shelters and orphanages with Ukraine Relief’s trustee, Marc Edwards – a British national who now lives in the US.
The duo were having dinner with friends at the hotel restaurant at the time of the strike. The dining party included two US volunteers, two workers from a Ukrainian charity foundation, a young boy and his pregnant mother.
“We’d just put our stuff in our rooms and went to eat with our local Ukrainian contacts and the cell phone alarm went off so we ran to the shelter,” said Mr Edwards.
Mr Swiacki added: “We took two steps and there was a big *****, absolute nightmare, everything just within seconds changed into a very apocalyptic news screams, alarms.”
Aid worker hit in Ukraine missile strike on hotel
Video sent by Mr Swiacki to the BBC showed smoke filling the restaurant with half-eaten meals and takeaway boxes on tables.
“There was so much stuff that we couldn’t see where we were going,” said Mr Swiacki.
Mr Edwards confirmed that the blast “took out all the windows” and they had to climb out of the restaurant through a broken window.
The duo went back into the hotel to see if anyone else was hurt, and retrieve some of their belongings.
They also went outside to look for their vehicles, which were “full of aid” but were “all destroyed”, Mr Edwards said.
Mr Swiacki’s van, which he had parked outside the hotel, was “smashed completely to pieces”.
“We heard some noises we don’t want to hear again. Somebody was trapped under the rubble next to our van and didn’t make it. Someone was hit from shrapnel and didn’t make it. I’m numb,” he said.
Mr Swiacki described the scene as “crazy, absolutely nightmare”.
He said the restaurant was on the ground floor, and believes that it is the only room – or at least one of the few rooms – that didn’t collapse.
The men are still in Kryvyi Rih and despite the shock of the explosion, Mr Swiacki said he has not been deterred him from continuing his aid work in Ukraine.
“I will never stop helping people after this,” he said.
The attack happened ahead of a European security summit on Wednesday which Zelensky is attending.
Reacting to it, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said it showed “why Ukraine needs defence capabilities: to protect human lives from Russian terror”.

‘AI is the new UI’. Qualcomm’s bold vision for how we use our devices could lead to the death of the app – and I’m not sure how I feel about that
‘AI is the new UI’. Qualcomm’s bold vision for how we use our devices could lead to the death of the app – and I’m not sure how I feel about that
At Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, AI is the hottest topic on people’s lips. From Samsung and Huawei to Intel and Qualcomm, every tech company has something to say about AI – and the more I listen to them, the more concerned I get.
In a private meeting room in the depths of Qualcomm’s massive event stand, I attended a roundtable discussion hosted by Durga Malladi, the SVP and General Manager of Technology Planning and Edge Solutions at Qualcomm. He had a lot to talk about – Qualcomm has been at the forefront of on-device AI hardware for a while now, teaming up with Microsoft at Computex last year to deliver a new generation of Copilot+ AI PCs.
I’ll spare you the reams of business-focused use cases Malladi and the other Qualcomm staffers had to talk about, and get straight to the good stuff: the rise of so-called ‘AI agents’.
AI in your pocket… and your laptop, and your car, and your house
For the uninitiated, ‘agentic’ AI (a term that seems to have mysteriously entered the tech industry parlance without any fanfare) refers to AI-powered natural language tools that essentially act as a sort of personal assistant – capable of carrying out a wide range of tasks that would normally require you to navigate through multiple apps or websites on your device.
‘Appless’ AI assistants like Rabbit and the ill-fated Humane AI pin have been floated before, with limited success. (Image credit: OpenAI / Rabbit / Humane)
One example Qualcomm gave was its Automotive AI suite (the Snapdragon Ride Elite and Snapdragon Cockpit Elite processors) – your car could soon be able to buy you concert tickets while it drives you to the venue, and then go park itself and pick you up afterward when you text your partner that you’re ready to leave the venue. All of this could stem from a straightforward verbal command.
Yes, this does mean that the AI agent has access to your banking details, and your geographical location data, and your message history, and… the list goes on. Malladi assured me that the agent’s processes are heavily encrypted and stored exclusively on local hardware, to the point where it would take an extremely driven individual to access it (much like your existing encrypted data). But it’s a fundamental operating requirement of AI agents to be able to see everything about you – and Qualcomm’s plan for making users a bit more comfortable with this idea might actually drive me in the opposite direction.
Digital doubles
Your personal AI agent, Malladi explains, is “the equivalent of your digital persona. It is you.” Now, I’m going to sidestep the fact that this is a bit frighteningly close to the plot of the ****** Mirror episode ‘White Christmas’, and instead focus on the way we as real-world tech users will engage with such a feature. I’m sure I don’t speak for everyone here, but I don’t want an AI assistant who slowly starts to mimic and predict my actions with better and better accuracy. If anything, I’d be happier with an agent that offers a more distinct and unique personality.
That’s not the only issue I have with this whole process, though. Malladi explains that these agents – in your phone, in your laptop, in your car, and beyond – will be effectively able to replace the entire ecosystem of apps that modern devices have become entirely adapted to. “We’ve been living in this app-centric world for about fifteen years now,” he says. “These apps are silos by themselves”.
Is Google Maps really a tool that needs to be filtered through an AI agent? (Image credit: Future)
He’s not entirely wrong. I can see the appeal: instead of needing to open a maps app, and a restaurant review app, and a search engine, and so on, you can simply ask your AI agent to do all the work, and it’ll do it. “The agent is the first interface, and the only interface,” Malladi explains. “You’re never going to see the apps.”
Never? That feels a bit unlikely. For starters, some apps are borderline non-functional without a proper visual interface. Navigation tools like Google Maps and Waze can provide step-by-step directions that the agent feeds to you, sure, but I don’t know a single person who doesn’t also want the visual map open at the same time. My 24-hour gym requires me to bring up the app to get a QR code for access to the building – can the agent simply pluck that from the app, or do I still need to sign in normally?
The death of apps?
There are other problems with this ‘appless’ vision of the future of tech. The app ecosystem across both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store has grown to monstrous proportions over the past decade; Malladi likens the arrival of AI agents to the shift from using websites to using apps, saying: “You can accomplish the same thing by going to a website, but in a dedicated app, the UI – the whole process – is streamlined. This is the next step in this process.”
But I think this is a significantly larger potential shift than that – and if the past is anything to go off, those sorts of massive changes to the established norms risk becoming a turn-off for potential consumers.
And what about free software that relies on in-app ad revenue to turn a profit? Under Qualcomm’s plan for agentic AI, developers of such tools could be cut straight out of the market – after all, nobody wants an AI helper that’s just going to feed them ads from other apps, and no rational advertiser is going to pay to have a bot sit patiently and watch a 30-second ad before proceeding (although it’s a rather amusing thought).
I’m still going to have a tonne of games on my phone, too – AI agents can’t replace that. (Image credit: Asus)
Still, Qualcomm is confident that AI agents will become commonplace in the future, even if such a change has to happen gradually. Malladi was keen to emphasize the advancements in both NPU hardware and LLM software that make this possible: just a few years ago, running such an advanced AI model on local hardware simply wasn’t feasible, but with more powerful processors and more efficient models, it’s now easy to install a pre-trained model on a device like a phone or tablet.
I’m reluctant to say outright that I’ll refuse to embrace AI agents if they do become widespread. As a tech journalist, it would be downright foolish of me to refuse to engage with new technologies just because I prefer things the way they are. But I definitely think that we’re a lot further away from universal adoption of agentic AI than Qualcomm would like to believe – although I have to commend the company for wanting to get ahead of the curve, because if this thing does blow up in popularity, Qualcomm will be front and center.
Oh, but promise me the voice commands thing won’t be mandatory, okay? I don’t want to shout at my phone in public.

With US Stocks Underperforming, Global Diversification Matters Now More Than Ever
With US Stocks Underperforming, Global Diversification Matters Now More Than Ever
In a striking reversal of fortunes, equities in developed markets ex-US are now leading the in 2025 while US shares are posting a modest loss year to date, based on a set of ETFs through Wednesday’s close (Mar. 5).
The Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (NYSE:) is up 9.8% so far this year, in stark contrast with a 0.9% decline for its American counterpart, Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF (NYSE:).
The developed-markets ex-US fund (VEA) is also leading the rest of the field by a wide margin. The second-best performer for the this year: US real estate investment trusts () with a solid 5.9% advance.
For context, note that the Global Market Index (GMI) is ahead by a modest 1.8% so far in 2025. GMI is an unmanaged benchmark that holds all the (except cash) in market-value weights via ETFs and represents a competitive benchmark for multi-asset-class portfolios.
The sight of US stocks falling to the back of the line and posting the only loss year to date among global markets highlights a dramatic shift in leadership, but the catalyst is no mystery. President Trump’s trade war has roiled markets, unleashing a surge of uncertainty about the macro implications. The US economy isn’t likely to be immune. As on, first-quarter growth nowcasts for have fallen sharply lately.
The Wall Street Journal today reports: “Investors entered 2025 optimistic that an already strong U.S. economy could get an extra boost from an administration pushing market-friendly tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks. Instead, trade tensions and signs of slowing growth have driven major indexes lower in recent weeks.”
“Ironically, in a year [where] everyone said America First, other markets, including emerging markets and Europe, might outperform,” said David Hauner, global head of emerging markets and FX strategy at BofA. “We may be at the beginning of a ******* shift here.”

Teen with gun arrested after attempting to board Jetstar flight JQ 610 at Avalon Airport in Victoria
Teen with gun arrested after attempting to board Jetstar flight JQ 610 at Avalon Airport in Victoria
A teenager with a gun has been arrested at Avalon Airport in Victoria after attempting to board a Jetstar flight bound for Sydney.
The 17-year-old was detained about 3pm (AEST) on Thursday at the airport situated 50km south-west of Melbourne.
It’s understood he was wearing a high-vis jacket when he attempted to board the flight, and allegedly tried to pass himself off as a maintenance worker.

It was then that a passenger spotted the firearm, and with the help of two others, held the man in a headlock.
Victoria Police arrived at the airport about 2.50pm on Thursday, and took the teen into custody.
“No doubt this would have been a very terrifying incident for the passengers of that plane,” Victoria Police Superintendent Michael Reid said.
“Victoria Police truly commend the bravery of those passengers, who were able to overpower that male.”
Police were investigating if a hole found in the airport’s fence was how the teen gained entry to the tarmac.
“Whether he’s breached that himself, by cutting it, or whether it’s already occurred,” Reid said before alleging ammunition had been found at the scene.
The teenager is not known to Victoria Police, and the incident is not currently being treated as an act of terrorism.
“It’s too early to establish that,” Reid said.
However, he said it was “very concerning” that the teen was able to breach security and approach the plane.
“I can’t communicate more clearly how concerning that is,” Reid said.
“It would have been a very frightening experience for those passengers involved, but once again I do really commend the bravery of those civilian passengers that helped assist to overpower him.”
Jetstar confirmed the incident occurred but has referred media inquiries to police and Avolon Airport respectively.
“The safety of our passengers and crew is our number one priority and we can confirm there are no reported injuries,” a spokesperson for the airline said.
The flight, JQ 610, was scheduled to depart at 2.55pm but has since been rescheduled to depart at 5.15pm.

Musk’s Starlink stands to benefit from changes to a broadband equity program
Musk’s Starlink stands to benefit from changes to a broadband equity program
Another day, another move from the Trump administration that will benefit Elon Musk — shocking. The US Department of Commerce has announced an overhaul of 2021’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program and its $42.5 billion that will funnel work to Musk’s Starlink.
The BEAD program was originally designed to give states funding for fiber-optic cable installation, increase Wi-Fi networks and free broadband internet access for some individuals. Fiber-optic broadband provides the fastest internet speeds, but the new mandate will get rid of BEAD’s preference for it.
“The Department is ripping out the Biden Administration’s pointless requirements,” said US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick in a statement. “It is revamping the BEAD program to take a tech-neutral approach that is rigorously driven by outcomes, so states can provide internet access for the lowest cost.”
The writing on the wall is clear: Musk, the richest person in the world, leader of a department to reduce government waste (read: cut many critical jobs and programs) and an unelected right hand to what can best be described as an authoritarian government, is about to make even more money.
Under the Biden administration in 2023, Starlink received a rejection from the Federal Communications Commission for nearly $900 million in subsidies. The FCC stated that Starlink’s application, which was part of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund program, failed to meet the program’s requirements.

In the Switch’s final days, Nintendo finally gets serious about eShop moderation
In the Switch’s final days, Nintendo finally gets serious about eShop moderation
The Nintendo eShop is notoriously full of shovel ware, money-grabs, and porn games — but the recent disappearance of many adult-oriented titles suggests Nintendo might finally be taking more steps towards moderating the shop. X user Naruki, known for tracking trends across the eShop, first spotted the change.
Despite its family-friendly image, the Nintendo eShop has long been plagued with a frankly astounding amount of NSFW titles. Since the majority of eShop operations are handled by an algorithm, these titles often appear as a great deal or a new release. Even though most are age-gated, the thumbnails are still provocative enough that it raises concern among parents.
Unfortunately, this particular problem isn’t new. The Wii eShop was also flooded with shovel ware and low-quality titles. What makes the same issue in the Nintendo Switch eShop so egregious boils down to marketing; by releasing a new “edition” of the games — and a quick look will show numerous titles with “Special,” “Ultimate,” “Epic,” and other superlatives tacked onto the front — the game is pushed back up the charts. It’s an exploitative play to earn more money from low-effort software.
Nintendo
The publisher RedDeer.Games is responsible for a large number of this style of game, publishing titles like Hentai Girls, Hot & Hentai, and numerous others. However, the studio is also responsible for games better suited for families or younger gamers. At the time of writing, several of its titles (SFW and not) were discounted as much as 96% — a clear push for visibility, but one that doesn’t serve players.
Please enable Javascript to view this content
It isn’t clear whether RedDeer.Games pulled the titles themselves or if Nintendo took action, but it’s worth noting that many of the studio’s SFW titles still offer a ludicrous number of superlative variants.
The timing of these game’s removal is suspect. The Nintendo Switch 2 is just around the corner; if Nintendo is behind the improved moderation, it could mean promising changes are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop. However, it also raises the question: why would Nintendo wait so long to address an issue that has lingered for multiple console generations?

What is Computer Memory and What are the Different Types?
What is Computer Memory and What are the Different Types?
Memory is the electronic holding place for the instructions and data a computer needs to reach quickly. It’s where information is stored for immediate use. Memory is one of the basic functions of a computer, because without it, a computer wouldn’t be able to function properly. Memory is also used by a computer’s operating system (OS), hardware and software.
There are technically two types of computer memory: primary and secondary. The term memory is used as a synonym for primary memory or as an abbreviation for a specific type of primary memory called random access memory (RAM). This type of memory is located on microchips that are physically close to a computer’s microprocessor.
If a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) had to only use a secondary storage device, computer systems would be much slower. In general, the more primary memory a computing device has, the less frequently it must access instructions and data from slower — secondary — forms of storage.
Cache, primary and secondary memory vary in size and speed, making them each useful in different ways.
What is random access memory?
Solid-state memory is an electronic device that’s represented as a two-dimensional matrix of single-bit storage cells or bits. Each set of storage cells is denoted as an address, and the number of storage cells at each address represents the data depth. For example, an extremely simple memory device might offer 1,024 addresses with 16 bits at each address. This would give the memory device a total storage capacity of 1,024 X 16 or 16,384 bits.
RAM is the overarching concept of random access. A CPU can read or write data to any memory address on demand, and will typically reference memory content in unique, radically different orders depending on the needs of the application being executed.
This random access behavior differs from classical storage devices, such as magnetic tape, where required data has to be physically located on the media each time before it can be written or read. It’s this rapid, random access that makes solid-state memory useful for all modern computing.
Many types of RAM report performance specifications against two traditional metrics:
Random access read/write performance. This is where addresses are referenced in random order.
Sequential access read/write performance. This is where addresses are referenced in sequential order.
Primary vs. secondary memory
Memory is broadly classified as primary and secondary memory, though the practical distinction has fallen into disuse.
Primary memory refers to the technologies and devices capable of supporting short-term, rapidly changing data. This mainly encompasses cache memory and RAM located close to — and accessed frequently by — the main CPU.
Secondary memory refers to the technologies and devices primarily used to support long-term data storage where data is accessed and changed far less frequently. This typically includes memory devices, such as solid-state flash memory, as well as the complete range of magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).
In most cases, data is moved from secondary memory into primary memory where the CPU can execute it. It’s then returned from primary memory to secondary memory when the file is saved or the application is terminated.
It’s possible to use secondary memory as if it were primary memory. The most common example is virtual memory, which the Windows OS uses to allow more applications and data than solid-state RAM can accommodate. However, virtual memory provides greater latency and lower performance than solid-state primary memory. This happens because it takes longer for drives to read or write data, resulting in lower performance for applications using virtual memory.
Volatile vs. non-volatile memory
Memory can also be classified as volatile or non-volatile memory.
Volatile memory. This includes memory technologies and devices where data must be constantly refreshed and is lost once power is removed from the memory device. All dynamic memory devices, such as dynamic RAM (DRAM), are volatile. All static memory devices, such as static RAM (SRAM), don’t require a refresh to preserve data contents, but data is still lost from static memory devices when power is turned off.
Non-volatile memory. NVM refers to memory technologies and devices where data contents are retained indefinitely even when power is removed from the memory device. Solid-state flash memory is a popular non-volatile memory technology. All types of read-only memory (ROM) devices are also non-volatile. Secondary memory, such as HDDs and SSDs, are routinely designated as non-volatile memory or non-volatile storage.
Memory vs. storage
Memory and storage are easily conflated as the same concept; however, there are important differences. Put succinctly, memory is primary memory, while storage is secondary memory. Memory refers to the location of short-term data, while storage refers to the location of data stored on a long-term basis.
Memory is often referred to as a computer’s primary storage, such as RAM. Memory is also where information is processed. It lets users access data that’s stored for a short time. The data is only stored for a short time because primary memory is volatile and isn’t retained when the computer is turned off.
The term storage refers to secondary memory where data in a computer is kept. An example of storage is an HDD. Storage is non-volatile, meaning the information is still there after the computer is turned off and then back on. A running program might be in a computer’s primary memory when in use — for fast retrieval of information — but when that program is closed, it resides in secondary memory or storage.
The amount of space available in memory and storage differs as well. In general, a computer will have more storage space than memory. For example, a laptop can have 16 gigabytes (GBs) of RAM while having 1 terabyte (TB) or more of storage. The difference in space is there because a computer doesn’t need to quickly access all the information stored on it at once, so allocating a few GBs of memory space to run programs will suffice for most modern applications.
The terms memory and storage can be confusing because their use today is inconsistent. For example, RAM is referred to as primary storage and types of secondary storage can include flash memory. To avoid confusion, it’s easier to talk about memory in terms of whether it’s volatile or non-volatile and storage in terms of whether it is primary or secondary.
How does computer memory work?
When an OS launches a program, it’s loaded from secondary memory to primary memory. Because there are different types of memory and storage, an example of this could be a program being moved from an SSD to RAM. Because primary storage is accessed faster, the opened program can communicate with the computer’s processor at faster speeds. The primary memory can be accessed immediately from temporary memory slots or other storage locations.
Memory is volatile, which means that data in memory is stored temporarily. Once a computing device is turned off, data stored in volatile memory is automatically deleted. When a file is saved, it’s sent to secondary memory for storage.
There are several types of computer memory, and computers operate differently depending on the type of primary memory used. However, semiconductor-based memory is typically associated with computer memory. Semiconductor memory will be made of integrated circuits with silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors.
Types of computer memory
Memory can be divided into primary and secondary memory. There are many types of primary memory, including the following:
Cache memory. The temporary storage area, known as a cache, is more readily available to the processor than the computer’s main memory source. It’s also called CPU memory because it’s typically integrated into the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip with a bus interconnect with the CPU.
Random access memory. RAM refers to the processor’s ability to access any storage location randomly.
Dynamic random access memory. The data or program code a computer processor needs to function typically uses this semiconductor memory. DRAM stores bits in cells consisting of a capacitor and a transistor, must be refreshed frequently to retain contents and loses its data once power is turned off.
Static random access memory. SRAM also only retains data bits for as long as power is supplied to it. However, unlike DRAM, it doesn’t have to be periodically refreshed.
Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM. DDR SDRAM can theoretically improve memory clock speed to at least 200 megahertz.
DDR 4 SDRAM. DDR4 RAM is a type of DRAM that has a high-bandwidth interface and is the successor to its previous DDR2 and DDR3 versions. DDR4 RAM allows for lower voltage requirements and higher module density. It’s coupled with higher data rate transfer speeds and enables dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) up to 64 GB.
DDR 5 SDRAM. DDR5 RAM is a type of DRAM with higher bandwidth and capacity than previous DDR types. It offers superior power consumption, can operate at speeds up to 8,400 million transactions per second and can support up to 512 GB per DIMM.
Direct Rambus DRAM. DRDRAM is a memory subsystem designed to transfer up to 1.6 billion bytes per second. The subsystem consists of RAM, the RAM controller, the bus that connects RAM to the microprocessor and devices in the computer that use it.
Read-only memory. ROM is a type of computer storage containing non-volatile, permanent data that can usually only be read from and not written to. ROM frequently contains basic input/output system programming that lets a computer start up or regenerate each time it’s turned on.
Programmable ROM. PROM is ROM that a user can modify once. It lets a user tailor a microcode program using a special machine called a PROM programmer.
Erasable PROM. EPROM is PROM that can be erased and re-used. The erasure process involves shining an intense ultraviolet light through a window designed into the memory chip.
Electrically erasable PROM. EEPROM is a user-modifiable ROM that can be erased and reprogrammed repeatedly through the application of higher-than-normal electrical voltage. Unlike EPROM chips, EEPROMs don’t need to be removed from the computer to be modified. However, an EEPROM chip must be erased and reprogrammed in its entirety, not selectively.
Virtual memory. A memory management technique where secondary memory is used as if it were part of the main memory. Virtual memory uses hardware and software to let a computer compensate for physical memory shortages by temporarily transferring data from RAM to disk storage.
Advanced memory technologies
Beyond the common memory types, electronic device manufacturers are constantly developing new and innovative memory technologies to meet enterprise and consumer needs. Advanced and emerging memory technologies include the following:
Flash memory. Non-volatile solid-state memory based on NAND and NOR flash memory chips is being used in all manner of commercial storage devices such as camera memory cards, USB drives and more recently SSD devices. Flash operates as erasable, rewritable ROM and can tolerate many thousands of erase/rewrite cycles. Common 2D flash devices are being supplanted by 3D flash that stack and interconnect 2D flash chips to boost memory capacity.
3D XPoint. This memory appeared in 2015 under the Optane brand. 3D XPoint stores bits based on changes in resistance, combined with a stackable cross-grid memory cell array based on a physical principle called Ovonic Threshold Switch. The technology was known for fast, low-latency storage and byte-addressable operation. It has since been abandoned, with production discontinued in 2021.
Quantum memory. QRAM devices can store the quantum state of a photon without damaging the volatile quantum information the photon carries. Quantum memory stores information as quantum bits, or qubits, which can store a zero or a one, or both at the same time. This enables enormous storage capacity and ensures high security within the storage media.
High-bandwidth memory. HBM technology is used to provide memory devices with high-bandwidth and low-power consumption. This lends well to high-performance computing applications and is typically used in memory devices where arrays of storage cells are to build large 3D storage subsystems, such as the Micron HBM3E 36 GB hybrid memory cube for AI tasks.
Graphene memory. Graphene memory technology uses graphene — a simple 2D material composed of carbon atoms — to create memory devices such as graphene-based resistive RAM, or RRAM, graphene flash memory, and graphene-based HDDs.
Neuromorphic memory. These devices mimic the behaviors of the human brain. They’re commonly implemented as a spiking neural network where nodes that represent spiking neurons process and retain data like living neurons. Neuromorphic memory is particularly useful for AI systems.
Memory specifications
Memory devices are described in technical specifications that define their operational characteristics. Common memory specifications include the following:
Buffer type. A memory device can be buffered or unbuffered; this is also referred to as registered and unregistered. Buffered memory devices are slightly slower than unbuffered memory but typically offer better data integrity which is important for enterprise server-side computing.
Capacity. Memory capacity is the amount of digital information that a memory device can store. It’s measured in bytes, such as gigabytes.
Channels. These are the number of connections through which memory exchanges data with the system. Single-, dual- and quad-channel configurations are common. More channels generally yield better memory performance because greater data volumes can be exchanged over time.
Form factor. Memory chips are typically combined onto formal devices that can be installed into slots and receptacles on a motherboard. Common form factors include DIMMs and small outline DIMMs.
Latency. This metric looks at the delays involved in accessing memory locations to perform a read or write operation. Lower latency yields better memory performance.
Speed. This is the rate at which information can be read from, or written to, a memory device. Memory speed is measured in transfers per second or megahertz.
Voltage. This is the system voltage needed to operate a memory device measured in volts. Most modern memory devices use low voltages, such as 1.2V or 1.35V to improve speed and performance.
Memory optimization and management
Memory optimization involves a variety of techniques to improve the use and lifespan of computer memory, such as the following:
Memory allocation. Memory optimization requires allocating memory in a way that’s appropriate for the OS and applications using the memory. These strategies include static, dynamic, stack, heap and pool. For example, static allocation is when memory is known and allocated at compile time, and the memory’s size and location are fixed. Static allocation is fast and simple, but it can waste memory and limit flexibility. By comparison, dynamic allocation refers to memory allocation at runtime. It allows for flexibility in memory size and use during the program’s execution, but it can result in memory fragmentation.
Memory leaks. Software must give back the memory that’s allocated, but poor software design can cause some memory to remain unreleased. When that happens, the OS can’t recover the unneeded memory and reallocate it to other applications. Eventually, the computer runs short of available memory, resulting in poor performance and system crashes. Proper software design and testing are required to find and fix memory leaks.
Memory management. This is the way an OS organizes, monitors and controls memory use. Different memory management techniques include paging, segmentation, virtual memory, garbage collection and memory compression. For example, paging divides physical memory into fixed-size units or pages and maps them to logical units, called frames. Paging can improve memory use and protection. It can also cause page faults and increase overhead. A system can use multiple memory management techniques.
Flash wear. Flash memory is widely used, but it’s limited by finite erase/rewrite cycles. A central part of optimizing flash life is managing flash cell wear through techniques such as wear leveling and cycle management.
Timeline of the history and early evolution of computer memory
In the early 1940s, memory was only available up to a few bytes of space. One of the more significant signs of progress during this time was the invention of acoustic delay line memory. This technology enabled delay lines to store bits as sound waves in mercury, and quartz crystals to act as transducers to read and write bits. This process could store a few hundred thousand bits.
In the late 1940s, non-volatile memory began to be researched, and magnetic-core memory, which enabled the recall of memory after a loss of power, was created. By the 1950s, this technology had been improved and commercialized. That led to the invention of PROM in 1956. Magnetic-core memory became so widespread that it was the main form of memory until the 1960s.
Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, also known as MOSFET or MOS semiconductor memory, was invented in 1959. This enabled the use of MOS transistors as elements for memory cell storage. MOS memory was cheaper and needed less power compared to magnetic-core memory. Bipolar memory, which used bipolar transistors, started being used in the early 1960s.
In 1961, Bob Norman proposed the concept of solid-state memory on an integrated circuit (IC) chip. IBM brought memory into the mainstream in 1965. However, users found solid-state memory to be too expensive compared to other memory types.
Other advancements during the early to mid-1960s were the invention of bipolar SRAM, Toshiba’s introduction of DRAM in 1965 and the commercial use of SRAM in 1965. The single-transistor DRAM cell was developed in 1966, followed by a MOS semiconductor device used to create ROM in 1967. From 1968 to the early 1970s, N-type MOS, or NMOS, memory also became popular.
By the early 1970s, MOS-based memory was more widely used as a form of memory. In 1970, Intel had the first commercial DRAM IC chip. One year later, erasable PROM was developed and EEPROM was invented in 1972.

Layoff announcements soar to the highest since 2020 as DOGE slashes federal staff
Layoff announcements soar to the highest since 2020 as DOGE slashes federal staff
Recently fired U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staff carry boxes with a message as they leave work and are applauded by former USAID staffers and supporters during a sendoff outside USAID offices in Washington, D.C., U.S., February 21, 2025.

President Donald Trump’s efforts to pare down the federal government workforce left a mark on the labor market in February, with announced job cuts at their highest level in nearly five years, outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported Thursday.
The firm reported that U.S. employers announced 172,017 layoffs for the month, up 245% from January and the highest monthly count since July 2020 during the heightened uncertainty from the Covid pandemic. In addition, it marked the highest total for the month of February since 2009 during the global financial crisis.
More than one-third of the total came from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s efforts, with Trump’s blessing, to reduce the federal headcount. Challenger put the total of announced federal job cuts at 62,242, spanning 17 agencies.
“With the impact of the Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] actions, as well as canceled Government contracts, fear of trade wars, and bankruptcies, job cuts soared in February,” Andrew Challenger, the firm’s workplace expert, said in the release.
January’s planned reductions brought the total through the first two months of the year to 221,812, also the highest for the ******* since 2009 and up 33% from the same time in 2024.
The report comes amid heightened concern about the state of the labor market and the economy in general as Trump’s plans for tariffs, slashing the size of government and mass deportations and stringent immigration restrictions take shape.
There has been a slew of mixed indicators about where things are heading, with consumer surveys showing concern over inflation and layoffs while other data shows economic strength continuing. Payrolls processing firm ADP reported Friday that private sector hiring grew by just 77,000 in February.
According to the Challenger report, it’s not just government cutting back.
Retail saw 38,956 cuts for the month as companies such as Macy’s and Forever 21 announced sharp staff reductions. The sector’s cuts in 2025 are up nearly six-fold from where they were in 2024. Technology firms also listed another 14,554 in reductions, though the sector’s cuts are actually lower from a year ago.
On the upside, firms announced plans in February to hire a total of 34,580 new workers, putting the year to date total up 159% from a year ago.
Initial unemployment claims have perked up in recent weeks, particularly in Washington, D.C., with its large share of government workers.

A Lord of the Rings Horror Game Is Silent Hill 2 Director’s Dream Project but It May Never See Light of Day
A Lord of the Rings Horror Game Is Silent Hill 2 Director’s Dream Project but It May Never See Light of Day
Silent Hill 2 Remake’s director, Mateusz Lenart, had envisioned a horror fantasy game based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece work The Lord of the Rings; however, due to some practical and thematic reasons, that project will likely never see the light of day.

Mateusz Lenart, the mind behind Silent Hill 2 Remake, is a big fan of the fantasy horror genre; he likes to blend fantastical and adventure elements with the survival horror genre.

During an interview with Bonfire Conversations, Mateusz Lenart talked about how he envisioned the Silent Hill 2 Remake, along with his future ambitions with the survival horror genre. Lenart managed to leave a mark due to the differences between his remake and the original version.
He is a big fan of fantasy and would have loved to adapt Lord of the Rings into a horror game; however, it is very difficult to build a horror game on it due to its recurring theme of good vs. evil. Lord of the Rings is just too ****** and white for it to be adapted into a horror game.
Lenart feels that it would have been very difficult to work around a theme that is so linear and transparent; there is no scope to create complex characters and scenarios since, at the end of the day, everything eventually boils down to what is good and what is evil. When asked about the adaptation, he said:
Don’t think I didn’t pitch. Like obsiously, you know like the world that was created by Tolkien is very like ****** and white in many many ways, so creating like the psychological horror in this in this world might be a challenge for us that’s why it’s not super easy at the same time, in general creating horror in the fantasy uh world is another layer of of challenge.
It will not be easy to make a horror game inspired by Tolkien’s world since there are a lot of layers of challenges that need to be tackled, and there is no hope that Lenart is ready to take on that challenge at the moment. After Silent Hill 2 Remake’s success, he might want to focus on making the sequels even better.
Lenart thinks it is possible but very difficult to adapt Lord of the Rings

Adapting Lord of the Rings is not an impossible task; it can very well be done, but it will require an immense amount of research and time to be worth it. Lenart is very well aware of the challenges, which is why he is currently not interested in going ahead with this dream of his.
Lenart also believes that creating any fantasy horror game is quite challenging, so adapting an already established world would make things more difficult.
Maybe in the near future we might see it get adapted in some other genre, but it seems like a fantasy horror by Lenart is out of the picture. Do you want to see a fantasy horror based on The Lord of the Rings? Let us know in the comments below.

Is Advanced Micro Devices Stock Slide Over?
Is Advanced Micro Devices Stock Slide Over?
Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:) stock slide may not be over, but it is nearing its end and setting up the market for a solid rebound that could quickly add 30% to the stock price. Technically speaking, AMD’s market is profoundly oversold and overextended, with stochastic oscillators in the low-end range on the daily, weekly, and monthly charts. The oversold condition results from a sentiment reset that repriced the outlook for AI influence on the business from an NVIDIA-like near-term ***** to a longer-term, more sustainable growth pace supported by strength in edge computing and data centers.
In early March, the market for AMD is trading near a critical support level that aligns with lows set in October 2023, when the AI bubble was first inflating. No AI premium is attached to the stock at this level, and AI’s influence on the business is robust. The data center and client segments are growing at hyper-paces, supported by client wins and penetration gains that point to continued strength in 2025.
While gaming continues to drag on the semiconductor business, it is expected to revert to growth in calendar 2025 and help sustain a nearly 30% CAGR through the decade’s end. New advances, including the Radeon 9070 graphics cards, threaten NVIDIA’s gaming industry dominance. These cards have 16GB of memory, improved raytracing, and AI accelerators for enhancing gaming experiences. The takeaway is that this stock trades at less than 10x its 2030 earnings consensus and may easily exceed the figure.
Analysts’ Sentiment Reset Weighs on AMD Stock Prices: Market Overreacts
The analyst’s sentiment trends are a factor in AMD’s stock price decline but also highlight a market that has overreacted and overextended. The sentiment trend includes numerous price target reductions between February 2024 and February 2025, reducing the consensus estimate by 14%, which put the stock on MarketBeat’s list of Most Downgraded names. Still, the conviction remains firm in the Moderate Buy rating and expectation for a minimum double-digit upside; the consensus target forecasts a 55% upside, while the low-end target is 10%.
Analysts’ activity following the Q4 release includes more price target reductions. Still, most align with the consensus and are offset by initiated targets above the consensus, several price target increases, and an upgrade that signals shifting sentiment and a heightened potential for market bottoming. Analysts’ trends will support the market in this scenario and may become a tailwind for price action later in the year.
Unsurprisingly, institutional activity aligns with a market bottom in Q1 2025. The institutions own more than 70% of the stock, and their activity ramped to a two-year high in Q1. The balance of activity is buying, netting about $2.2 billion in shares in the first two months of the quarter, about 1.35% of the market cap with shares near $100.
AMD Builds Value for Investors With Fortress Balance Sheet
AMD’s fortress balance sheet and increasingly strong financial position are among its attractions. The highlights from 2024 include a slight reduction in cash offset by increased receivables and inventory, increased current and total assets, and steady liability. Equity rose by 3%. Regarding leverage, it is very low, with long-term debt virtually non-existent and total liability running near 0.2x equity and 4x cash. The company hasn’t yet returned significant amounts of capital but may soon begin increasing its buyback activity or initiate a dividend like its competitor, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:).
Risks for AMD include increased and vigorous competition in its end markets, including NVIDIA. NVIDIA is also advancing gaming and data center technology and will not likely give up its leadership position soon. Its advantages include first-move strengths and a years-long head start on building its software ecosystem.

OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R Confirmed to Receive 4 Years of Android OS Updates
OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R Confirmed to Receive 4 Years of Android OS Updates
OnePlus has issued a clarification around the update policy for its latest handsets, the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R. It has disregarded recent reports which suggested that while the handsets will come with an assured four years of operating system (OS) updates, the company counts Android 15-based OxygenOS 15, which they come with out-of-the-box, in the update cycle. Both the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R are confirmed to receive OS updates up to Android 19.
Update Policy for OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), OnePlus India announced that the Android OS version which the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R come out-of-the-box with does not count as part of the four year update policy. Thus, users will receive Android 16, 17, 18, and 19 updates on their phones, in lieu of the company’s promise of offering users with four years of OS and six years of security updates.
Quoting OnePlus North America’s PR team, DroidLife previously reported that OnePlus’ update cycle for its flagship new series counts Android 15 as the first OS update. This meant that despite a four year commitment, the handset would only receive updates till Android 18. However, the company’s latest clarification seems to have put these rumours to bed.
However, it wasn’t just the OnePlus 13 series that was subject to such reports.
Recently, OnePlus reportedly revealed that its OnePlus Watch 3 would get “two years of ***-monthly security updates through early 2027”. This meant fewer security updates on the flagship smartwatch compared to its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 2. However, the same has been deemed incorrect by the company itself which later issued clarification.
As per the company, the OnePlus Watch 3 and Watch 2 will indeed receive three years of software updates. This also includes three years of quarterly security updates. OnePlus says OnePlus Watch 3 will receive updates from 2025 till 2027, while its predecessor will be eligible till 2026.
