At OCP, Intel detailed its D-series inference GPU and high-density Xeon racks. We look at how it splits enterprise AI work between CPUs and GPUs, what its open-source software offers, and what to test before adopting it.
Epic has announced EAC Linux v2 and eight requirements. We check its design, which combines signing, boot records, and runtime restrictions, against official Linux documentation.
Epic Games has outlined its plan to bring Fortnite to Linux. We compare the new launcher preview with the signing and boot requirements of Easy Anti-Cheat Linux v2, and explain the limits that remain on Steam Deck.
Epic Games has released a Preview of its rebuilt launcher. We look at how its startup times compare with Steam and the conditions behind those numbers, plus what to check before switching: automatic removal of the old version, no Intel Mac support, and game compatibility on Linux.
The same 32GB DDR5 kit rose from £79 to £422 on Amazon UK in about 13 months. Spec-based price gaps, diverging Japanese retail prices, and Micron's contracts and expansion plans show where costs can be trimmed before cutting capacity.
TrendForce has raised its 2027 capex forecast for nine major cloud providers. Comparing it with its August estimate and Microsoft's accounting change shows how unit growth, higher prices and prepayments each affect spending totals.

Elon Musk praised Micron's approach to future memory pricing. Micron's earnings materials show price caps and floors alongside purchase obligations, and the $32 billion commitment, remaining contract value and cash received measure different things.
Pat Gelsinger called HBM terrible yet the best available. We look at the interface specs and thermal analysis behind that view, separate Nanya's 2028 supply outlook from its fab plans, and examine AI memory demand beyond HBM.
Kioxia has added direct liquid-cooling models to its CM9 enterprise SSD line. They keep PCIe 5.0 and also work in air-cooled systems. We look at how capacity and DWPD differ, and what the SNIA specification says about cooling surfaces and pressure.
