If you remember GALAX's last overclocking triumph, it was thanks to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] for the RTX 5090D HOF. Now, this special XOC BIOS has surfaced online, courtesy of an eagle‑eyed post by [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. This firmware unlocks a default power limit of 2,001 W, which exceeds NVIDIA's official cap, and even allows you to adjust the TDP down to 400 W if you need to keep temperatures in check. It only works on the 5090D variant, so don't bother trying to flash it onto the regular 5090. That exclusivity makes sense given GALAX's decision to release just one non‑D HOF card globally, and it shows that true overclocking headroom is reserved for the 5090D platform.

Using liquid nitrogen cooling and finely tuned voltages, they pushed the core clock up to an astonishing 3,650 MHz and achieved a record time of 39.434 seconds on the GPUPI 32B benchmark. OC momentum carried over into graphics tests as well, where 3DMark Port Royal saw the GPU running at 3,570 MHz on its core and 2,250 MHz on GDDR7 memory, resulting in a score of 47,469 points. Meanwhile, the Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme preset achieved 38,237 points, nearly 29% above the card's standard performance target. Extreme overclocking is not a dead end, and with this XOC BIOS, another overclocking lab could give it a try and potentially set a new world record.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Nikon announced that it will begin accepting orders today for its Digital Lithography System DSP-100, a back-end tool purpose-built for the next-gen of advanced semiconductor packaging. The company will deliver the first units during fiscal year 2026. The DSP-100 is specifically designed for panel-level packaging (PLP), a technology that industry leaders such as [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], Intel, and Samsung are adopting to overcome the cost and area limitations of 300 mm wafers. Standardized rectangular substrates, already fixed at 510x515 mm, allow more compute chiplets, HBM4 stacks, and I/O dies to be integrated into a single package. Nikon's engineers pushed the standard further by enabling exposure on glass or resin panels up to 600×600 mm. Key specifications released today show a 1.0 µm line‑and‑space resolution, overlay accuracy within ± 0.3 µm and throughput of 50 panels per hour at the 510x515 mm size.

By eliminating photomasks and instead steering an i-line equivalent light source through a spatial light modulator (SLM), the DSP-100 sidesteps both the optical distortion inherent in large single-lens systems and the expense of mask sets. A proprietary multi‑lens array borrowed from Nikon's flat‑panel display division stitches the pattern seamlessly across the full substrate. With a 600×600 mm panel accommodating 36 of the 100 mm square packages, the system delivers nine times higher throughput productivity compared to 300 mm wafer processes, dramatically reducing the cost per die. The maskless architecture also shortens design iteration cycles, a critical advantage as generative AI workloads drive rapid evaluation of data center accelerators. Nikon states that volume production of the DSP‑100 will commence in 2026, with pricing disclosed only to qualified buyers.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel's Arrow Lake-S desktop update set for the latter part of 2025 might not bring the expected boost in AI capabilities. New information from Jaykihn, a leaker known for sharing regular updates on Intel roadmaps hints that this update will keep the current NPU 3 design instead of using the more advanced NPU 4 found in Intel's Lunar Lake laptop chips. The existing Arrow Lake desktop line uses NPU 3, which came out in 2023 with Meteor Lake and offers 11.5 TOPS of AI power. This falls well short of the 40 TOPS needed for Microsoft Copilot+ certification. Intel's Lunar Lake laptop processors have the upgraded NPU 4, which can reach up to 48 TOPS making them Copilot+ ready. By sticking with NPU 3 in the desktop update, Intel's desktop chips will still trail behind laptop offerings from AMD and Apple in AI speed. Without NPU upgrades, the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] seems to offer small increases in clock speed and continued production on Intel's 20A process. This small step forward might not be enough, given Intel's shrinking market share and the need for bigger design improvements to stay competitive.

At the same time AMD might face some problems with reports suggesting that [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], which was supposed to come after Strix Halo, has been scrapped. This news comes from HXL, a leaker with a decent track record. This could mean that Intel's [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] is left without any real competition in a market where Strix Halo and Apple's chips are the big players. If this is true, it shows a big change in AMD's plans for high-end mobile computing.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Intel will be significantly increasing CPU core counts with its next-generation "Nova Lake" client processor microarchitecture. For the desktop variant, the "Nova Lake-S," this marks a maximum CPU core configuration of 16P+32E+4LPE for an impressive 52 cores per socket. That's 16 "Coyote Cove" P-cores, 32 "Arctic Wolf" E-cores spread across eight E-core clusters; and 4 additional low-power island E-cores based on the same "Arctic Wolf" core design. While the P-cores and E-core clusters share an L3 cache, the LPE cores are not part of the CPU complex, and are located in a low-power island that's part of the SoC region of the chip, an arrangement similar to "Meteor Lake." The top Core Ultra 9 is expected to come with a massive L3 cache of 144 MB, which should benefit gaming workloads.

Intel will give only its top Core Ultra 9 SKUs the maxed out configuration of 16P+32E+4LPE. This chip is expected to come with a processor base power value of 150 W for its unlocked K or KF SKUs. We are now learning what the core configurations of the other brand extensions, 7, 5, and 3, could look like. For the Core Ultra 7 SKUs, Intel is expected to opt for a 14P+24E+4LPE configuration for a total of 42 cores. To do this, the company will disable two P-cores, and two E-core clusters, while also reducing the L3 cache. The top K- and KF-SKUs of Core Ultra 7 are expected to come with the same 150 W processor base power values as the Core Ultra 9 K/KF SKUs.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] is an upcoming time travel roguelite that puts players into a cosmic anomaly that blends past, present, and future in chaotic co-op battles. The new game is being developed by Manticore Games, a new game studio comprised of talent formerly of Electronic Arts, Blizzard, Respawn, Xfire, Roblox, Trion Worlds, Crystal Dynamics, and Zynga, and it will be launching as an [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and console exclusive on September 25, 2025, although it's currently unclear if a future Steam launch is on the cards. The current pre-purchase price for Out of Time is $24.99, which includes three special mounts, three emotes, and four avatars.

The main premise of Out of Time is that players are put in teams of four players in co-op PvE battles—with PvP slated to be arriving in a future update—against enemies from the Medieval era, Modern era, and The Wastelands, a far-flung apocalyptic era set in the year 2199. At least three more eras are already planned for a later release, although there is no exact release roadmap yet. Out of Time emphasizes team work and ability and gear synergies, and one of the main highlights is that sticking together as a team grants buffs and increases survivability. There are a whopping 24 playable heroes, although Manticore Games says that the heroes don't lock you down into specific classes or roles. Instead, the game's mechanics encourage cooperative experimentation and gives players the freedom to adapt to the anomalies in their own unique way. Out of Time will feature tight fast-paced combat, an MMO-like hub, and a roguelike progression system.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

A previously unseen AMD graphics-card prototype has unexpectedly surfaced, not in a retailer's warehouse but on a Korean second-hand forum. This week, a Quasarzone user known as FP32 shared high-resolution photographs of what appears to be the cooling assembly for a never-released "RX 7950 XTX," allegedly sourced via China's Xianyu marketplace. At a staggering 34 cm in length and 5.5 cm in thickness, the triple-slot shroud outstrips the standard RX 7900 XTX reference cooler by roughly 5 cm in length and adds an entire slot of girth. The front houses three recessed eight-pin power connectors, suggesting board power well over 450 W, a figure more commonly associated with NVIDIA's RTX 4090 rather than an AMD Radeon, while a dense copper baseplate feeds multiple heatpipes that terminate in three striking red-tipped fins stamped "RDNA 3." Despite its superficial resemblance to AMD's shipping designs, the prototype's mounting points and LED cut-outs align with no known PCB, and the customary rear I/O bracket is entirely missing.

Attempts to trace serial labels in public component databases yielded no matches, reinforcing the theory that it was a one-off engineering sample. No PCB accompanied the cooler, preventing any live demonstrations or performance benchmarks. There have long been whispers about an AMD halo card, whether an RX 7950 XTX or even a dual-GPU RX 7990 XTX, to bridge the performance gap between NVIDIA's 80-class and 90-class offerings. The emergence of this monolithic cooler implies that AMD once considered a fully unlocked Navi 31 silicon pushed to higher clock speeds or paired with faster GDDR6/GDDR6X memory. The project may have been shelved due to soaring production costs, unwieldy thermal envelopes, or a strategic decision to focus on energy efficiency and value-oriented designs. Whatever the reason for its cancellation, this orphaned cooler now stands as a relic of AMD's road not taken, offering a glimpse into the company's highest ambitions before it chose a less aggressive path for its RDNA 3 lineup.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

ZeniMax is just one of many game studios under the Xbox Gaming umbrella that has fallen victim to a [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] in the name of profit. The layoffs, which occurred in early July and seemingly affected over 9,000 employees, according to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], were motivated by Microsoft's desire to "increase agility and effectiveness." However, workers at ZeniMax Media, the game studio behind Elder Scrolls Online, have recently spoken anonymously to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and said that the layoffs have effectively had the opposite effect. One worker said "Everyone left now has to pick up the pieces as best they can. The morale and general confusion of it all has extended into our general workflow. We used to have very, very reliable people working on things, and they're no longer there." By all accounts, the layoffs have resulted in a severe brain drain and loss of institutional knowledge and experience, and the remaining workers at the studio have been left to pick up the pieces. One employee emphasized that, in some cases, the remaining staff will need to pick up the slack of multiple people who were laid off.

Part of the reason for the outsized effect on the remaining developers is just how chaotically the layoffs were handled, with one employee saying that they were locked out of all their company systems, including email and Slack, for hours before there was any communication from managers or higher-ups about what was going on. The chaotic management of the layoffs and their wide-reaching effects have severely diminished the morale of the workers who are still at ZeniMax, with one worker, Autumn Mitchell, who remains at ZeniMax, saying that "Morale is terrible. It's grotesque. People are stressed. They're crying." She continues to say "I also think we need to bring some people back. I don't see how we get through this work without bringing some people back," further implying that the workload and expectations placed on the workers still at ZeniMax are too much to handle for the remaining workers, especially if there is a standard of quality to be maintained.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
