| GeForce Now on Linux would open up numerous games that are currently not available, the multiplayer ones with angry anticheats that won't run natively (though they could). Interesting. |

| Quote: | Dec 31 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab is scrambling to meet strong demand for its H200 artificial intelligence chips from Chinese technology companies and has approached contract manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), opens new tab to ramp up production, sources said.
Chinese technology companies have placed orders for more than 2 million H200 chips for 2026, while Nvidia currently holds just 700,000 units in stock, two of the people said.
The exact additional volume Nvidia intends to order from TSMC remains unclear, they said. A third source said Nvidia has asked TSMC to begin production of the additional chips, and work is expected to start in the second quarter of 2026.
The moves raise concerns over whether there could be further tightening in global AI chip supplies as Nvidia now has to strike the right balance between meeting robust Chinese demand and addressing constrained supplies elsewhere. |

| Of course they halt the sales - they are waiting for price to go up then they will resume. Companies rarely, if ever, leave free money on the table. |

| Quote: | | Serious Concerns as Ryzen 7 9800X3D Shows 10% Failure Rate - According to a recent report published by Overclock3D, the owner of an eSports center has reported an alarming failure rate with this CPU. Out of a batch of 150 Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors installed in his gaming systems, 15 have failed within a short period. This represents a 10% failure rate, with one processor dying every one or two weeks on average. Such a high failure rate in a professional environment not only causes hardware losses but also affects profitability due to downtime. Many of the affected CPUs were mounted on specific motherboard models, with frequent mentions of ASRock boards. This has led to speculation about potential BIOS instability or incorrect voltage delivery to the CPU. Some processors show visible physical damage, such as burn marks on the socket, while others simply stop working without any warning or visible defect. AMD has begun responding to these incidents. Initially, the company suggested that memory compatibility issues could prevent systems from booting. However, for users who experienced permanent physical damage, that explanation seems unconvincing. While awaiting a definitive fix or a microcode update to address the issue, users are advised to keep their BIOS updated and monitor system voltages carefully. AMD is expected to issue an official statement soon. |
Good to see AMD cutting corners now. It had to happen eventually. QC out the window saving money like everything today. Funny how everyone jumped on Intel. AMD clearly didn’t learn anything and the cost of the 9800X3D and compensation - especially from system builders is going to cost them big time through damage.
As usual, it’s blame BIOS, Asus, not following overclocking etc. Work closely with mobo manufacturers. |
