The crypto craze is having a big impact on the availability of graphics cards, to the point where miners are snapping up laptops equipped with Nvidia's RTX.

Samsung Electronics is further deepening its technology moat in the semiconductor sector as the Korean tech giant is set to complete test verification of next-generation memory chips that feature artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
The world s largest memory chipmaker has developed high bandwidth memory (HBM) integrated with AI processing power, called HBM-PIM, for the first time in the industry.
The new processing-in-memory (PIM) architecture brings powerful AI processing capabilities inside high-performance memory. The new product enables existing computing system to process data much faster while data doesn t need to be moved to a main CPU for processing, the company said.
When silence is worth dealing with scalpers on February 17, 2021, 18:19 22 comments
In brief: Over the years there have been endless attempts at creating 100% passively-cooled PCs, but most of those builds used lower end components. It turns out that you can have a silent system equipped with an Nvidia RTX 3080, but it s neither cheap nor extremely practical for most people.
For fans of silent PCs, passively cooling the CPU has traditionally been easier to achieve than with graphics cards, mostly because of the difference in power draw from the two components. There are companies that dedicate to offer custom-built PCs for those who want that fanless experience, and enthusiasts love to put things to the test and see how far one can push these systems.
Nvidia 3000-series cards went live in the latter half of 2020 but myriad of issues ensured in-store inventory remained virtually extinct. That’s still the case today, as.
