Researchers at Princeton University, MIT CSAIL, and EPFL published a technical paper titled “Efficient Hardware Information-Flow Tracking for Pre-Silicon Security Testing.” Abstract “Register-Transfer Level (RTL) simulation is widely used to test hardware before it is fabricated. To allow testing for security related information flow properties, such as confidentiality and integrity, taint logic …

One of our favorite external SSDs gets an upgrade as a compact DIY hub with an M.2 slot, active cooling, USB ports, up to HDMI 2.1, and a removable cable.

Thermalright's HKC-built KG series brings ATX 3.1, a native 12V-2x6 connector and a five-year warranty at a low price point, with the compromises visible inside.

Phanteks' mainstream ATX 3.1 line, with Japanese capacitors, an 8-year warranty, and street pricing under $90, but with a 450W cap on its 12V-2x6 connector.

A modder has recreated the never-released RTX 3070 Ti with 16GB of VRAM using GDDR6 chips instead of the GDDR6X the retail 3070 Ti actually shipped with.

I have a Razer Blackwidow v3 Pro with a faulty volume knob that keeps randomly adjusting itself without me touching it. The volume on my Windows 11 PC will randomly fluctuate when the keyboard is ...

Fractal’s Define One rounds off the boxy Define, while still keeping the iconic closed-front design. A focus on GPU airflow and three included Momentum 14 fans highlight this $154 mid-tower chassis.

The Fractal Summit is a good-looking, open-face mid-tower with real wood accents that's easy to build in. But noise-normalized thermals landed a bit warmer than we expected.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work and live, but training AI models requires enormous amounts of computing power and energy. Finding new ways to make AI faster and more energy efficient is becoming one of the biggest challenges in the field. Researchers from the R. Ferreira group at INL have developed a new type of spintronic hardware that allows artificial intelligence to po…

Raspberry Pi has published an official guide to building a homemade cyberdeck, a custom-built portable personal computer that has become increasingly popular among DIY enthusiasts. The company says cyberdecks can […] The post A computer in a suitcase appeared first on Electronics Weekly .

A new hardware standard could make it easier for AI agents to operate laboratory and factory equipment across borders and industries. Anthropic says its Model Hardware Standard aims to speed device integration, improve safety, and support around-the-clock automated experiments for researchers, engineers, and manufacturers worldwide.

I have run AWS infrastructure for years. When I started looking at how large language models actually get served, I hit a wall on something basic. Someone said "the model sits on the GPU." Someone else said "the GPU does the calculation." Both sounded right. Neither told me where the model actually lives. The problem is that "GPU" is not one thing. Two parts, one board You already know how a norm…

Jalapeño is a custom inference chip from OpenAI that delivers faster, more power-efficient AI inference, with higher throughput and lower latency for modern models.

568.99 ($200/26% off) gets you a 3-item Newegg combo: a Ryzen 7 7700X3D, Asus B650 board, 16GB of G.Skill DDR5-6000, and a free 240mm AIO thrown in — a inexpensive avenue into AM5.

At Hot Chips 2026, Intel detailed more about its Crescent Island AI accelerator, which uses the Xe3P architecture. The accelerator will use liquid-cooled chips and HBM4 memory to serve inference workloads in data centers.

Anthropic confirmed on August 5 that it is building an internal silicon team to design custom chips for its Claude models, signaling a sharper push into self-developed AI hardware. The move is set to influence the company's compute procurement plans and could reshape order shares among ASIC vendors.
