Colloidal quantum dot (QD) light-emitting diodes have great potential in display applications. However, their commercialization remains a challenge due to the difficulty in achieving high-resolution patterning of QDs without degrading their optical properties. To address this, researchers have developed a nondestructive method for ultrahigh-resolution QD patterning. By blending QDs with a photocrosslinkable polymer, the approach preserves their optical properties and boosts efficiency and lifetime, paving the way for development of next-generation display technologies.

Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to their tunable emission, high brightness, and compatibility with low-cost solution processing. However, a major challenge is, achieving ultrahigh-resolution patterning without damaging their fragile surface chemistry. Existing methods such as ink jet printing and photolithography-based processes either fall short in resolution or compromise QD performance.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Last week, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] for its ME Pro NAS devices and now the company has unveiled the pricing for its first two 2-bay models, which come in a total of five different SKUs. All five SKUs are based on Intel Twin Lake SoCs, with the three base SKUs being built around the Intel Processor N95 and the two remaining SKUs sporting the Intel Processor N150. The base model pairs the N95 with 12 GB of 4800 MT/s LPDDR5 and a 128 GB SSD for US$369, whereas an upgraded SKUl with a 512 GB SSD comes in at US$449 and finally the top tier SKU comes with a 1 TB SSD for US$479. The N150 SKUs include 16 GB of LPDDR5 and start at US$529 with a 512 GB SSD and tops out at US$559 with a 1 TB SSD.

The ME Pro with the Twin Lake SoCs offers three M.2 NVMe slots, one with a PCIe 3.0 x2 interface and two with a PCIe 3.0 x1 interface. There's space for a pair of 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard drives and up to 30 TB drives are supported. Around the back you'll find a 19 V DC input, a 2.5 Gbps (Intel i226-V) and a 5 Gbps (Realtek RTL8126) Ethernet jack, an HDMI 2.1 port capable of 4K60p output, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-C port and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Around the front is a further USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type-A port, the power switch and a reset and clear CMOS pin-hole. A neat addition is a small tool that is attached to the base of the housing. Beelink has also included Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 and it seems like the ME Pro ships with Windows 11 Home. Pre-orders are up now, with shipping said to start at some point in January.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

If you're in the market for a high-capacity DDR5 memory kit featuring ECC RDIMMs, this might be your lucky opportunity. NEMIX, a U.S.-based memory and storage supplier that collaborates with major tech firms and the government, has listed a 4 TB DDR5 memory kit. This kit consists of 16x 256 GB ECC RDIMMs operating at 6400 MT with a CAS latency of 52. Notably, the listing comes with a hefty price tag of $70,800, making it accessible only to high-budget hyperscalers or workstation enthusiasts. The 4 TB kit's substantial cost is striking, especially during a time of significant DRAM shortages. This translates to approximately $17.3 per GB, significantly higher than the average [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] for consumer DRAM.

The nearly doubled price of these modules is justified by the advanced technology incorporated into these RDIMMs. They feature off-die error correction chips for ECC, which are not standard in regular DDR5 DIMMs. While DDR5 includes on-die ECC, it does not provide complete error correction on its own. Therefore, additional silicon is necessary for hyperscalers and workstations to achieve full error correction, which is reflected in the price premium. The 4Rx4 rank setup helps maintain smooth performance, and it operates at just 1.1 V, making it quite efficient. With registered buffering and built-in ECC, these modules show why their price point is much higher than traditional DIMMs.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

HP is seemingly planning to update its Omen 16L line-up of SFF gaming desktops, this time introducing Intel's Raptor Lake CPUs into the mix. This is according to a recent rumor posted by [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Supposedly, the new Omen 16L will be powered by the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] mobile CPU and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU, with lower tier GPU options also available. The new desktop will likely launch at CES 2026, although there is no word on an official launch or availability date.

It's unclear why HP would "update" its Omen 16L gaming PCs with an older CPU, but the Core i7-14650HX should perform similarly to the existing Arrow Lake models, thanks to its 16-core, 24-thread design. Pricing is also a mystery so far, although the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], which is powered by the Arrow Lake [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and an RTX 5060, comes in at $1,559.99. It's also likely that the ongoing DRAM and storage supply issues will affect the price, so it would make sense for the new models to launch at the same price or higher prices than the old models. Alternatively, HP could be introducing the mobile CPU variants in order to cut back on costs somewhat, since you wouldn't need as powerful a PSU or cooler to keep the desktop fed and cooled.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

The ongoing RAM shortage has already had knock-on effect on the consumer market, from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] "bring your own RAM" build options and smartphone makers stepping back to offering 8 GB of RAM in flagship devices. However, the latest news suggests that the RAM shortage will soon result in delayed product launches—specifically in the laptop and mobile market, according to a report out of Korean business publication, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].

According to the report, which quoted industry insiders and analysts, large hardware brands, like HP and Lenovo, have recently signed agreements with memory suppliers in an effort to secure RAM for the upcoming product launch cycle. Despite this, insiders are predicting that launch delays are likely as DRAM demand still exceeds supply. The alternative solutions include a price hike, which would be in the order of 30% in the premium segment—on top of an already predicted 9% industry-wide price increase—or downsizing the premium laptop segment. Whether this plays out as predicted will likely be revealed fairly soon, as CES 2026, and [Only registered and activated users can see links.

AMD is preparing to refresh its Ryzen 9000 series "Zen 5" desktop processor lineup with two high-end chips targeting gamers and PC enthusiasts, the 8-core Ryzen 7 9850X3D, and the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. The 9850X3D is a speed-bumped 9800X3D, while the 9950X3D2 comes with 3D V-Cache on both its 8-core chiplets, compared to the 9950X3D, which only has it on one of its chiplets. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D comes with a maximum turbo frequency of 5.60 GHz, a 400 MHz increase over the 9800X3D, along with a TDP of 120 W, which is expected to increase its single-thread performance by 5-7%.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is a different beast. It comes with a maximum boost frequency of 5.60 GHz, which is a 100 MHz reduction over the 5.70 GHz that the 9950X3D comes with, but both its chiplets have 3D V-Cache, allowing for more flexible scheduling and thread migration. With a combined L3 cache of 192 MB, this chip could also be vastly preferred by the workstation and creator crowd that's working on memory-intensive workloads. All this comes at a cost, though, with AMD rumored to increase TDP to 200 W, up from the 170 W of the 9950X3D, which could mean a PPT value nearing the 250 W-mark. Geekbench and PassMark numbers of the 9950X3D2 just surfaced on the web, which show the newer chip to be 2% faster than the 9950X3D despite the marginally lower clock speed, however, the real heft of this chip will be felt in memory/cache sensitive workloads.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Sapphire launched its flagship graphics card and motherboard featuring PhantomLink discreet power delivery technology. The tech sees an ASUS BTF-like GC-HPWR power-delivery slot located along the plane of the main PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot, which delivers power to the graphics card without you having to wrestle with a delicate 12V-2x6 cable on top of the card. But then there's a catch. The motherboard isn't designed on the philosophy of backside connectivity like ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero or GIGABYTE Stealth, the connects are all still located along the obverse side of the PCB. There is a 600 W-capable 12V-2x6 input located next to the 24-pin ATX, which simply routes power to the GC-HPWR slot.

Launching today, are the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT PhantomLink PE graphics card, and the NITRO+ X870EA PhantomLink Socket AM5 motherboard. Both products have an identical silver-white color scheme and NITRO+ design theme that pair well visually. The graphics card features an overclocked RX 9070 XT with similar specs to the regular NITRO+ RX 9070 XT from Sapphire. The motherboard comes in two color trims, white+silver and black+silver. It offers a premium CPU VRM solution, a heavy M.2 PCIe Gen 5 heatsink, reinforced PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot, premium Wi-Fi 7 and onboard audio solutions, and USB4.

Framework updated its [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] blog post on December 24th, 2025, explaining that the company must respond to the price volatility its suppliers are experiencing. Initially, Framework announced a 50% price increase for its DDR5 memory upgrade configurations. To maintain transparency with customers, the company stated its intention to raise the price of DDR5 memory in Framework Laptop DIY Edition orders by 50%. This decision directly responds to the significantly higher costs from DRAM suppliers and distributors. As a result, the company cannot absorb all these cost increases and needs to pass some on to consumers. Therefore, another increase today is a natural response, as the company originally suggested.

FrameworkWith costs from our suppliers continuing to increase, we've had to make a further price adjustment on DDR5 memory modules. During this period of extreme memory shortages and price volatility, our priority is to make sure you can still buy a computer when you need one. With that in mind, we're setting our memory configuration prices as close as possible to the actual purchase prices we have with our suppliers and distributors. Since we're constantly sourcing additional memory and each purchase comes in at different (and often higher) pricing, we're using the Weighted Average Cost (WAC) of inventory, which currently comes to $10/GB for 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB modules, and slightly higher for 48 GB modules.

NuPhy earlier this year unveiled the Node 75, a 75% wireless mechanical keyboard with a retro design inspired by the Braun T3, and it has now brought that retro design language to an 1800 layout, which means you get a keyboard with a full-size num pad in a slightly more compact layout. The Node 100 also has the same touch-sensitive area on the right-hand side of the top edge of the keyboard—kind of mimicking the Apple Touch Bar in functionality—and the same dot matrix indicator LEDs on the left side of that same top edge. The Node 100 has a PCB gasket mount and is constructed of plastic, which allows NuPhy to bring the price down to a pretty reasonable $109.99, and it is available in Ink Grey, Lunar White, and Light Pink from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. It is also available as both high- and low-profile designs and with a choice of linear, silent, and light tactile switches in both variants.

The Node series uses both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, with USB-C available as a wired option. The low-profile version uses NuPhy's Low-Profile Nano switches, which follow Gateron's Low-Profile 3.0 design, meaning the switch selection is somewhat limited at the time of writing. The low-profile version of the Node 100 keyboard is pitched as a portable option for on-the-go productivity, although it still weighs in at 787 g. Both versions of the keyboard have PBT keycaps, although the low-profile version uses NuPhy's nSA profile and dye-sublimated legends, while the high-profile version has double-shot keycaps in the mSA profile. Both versions of the Node 100 have two-stage adjustable feet for typing angles of 6°, 9°, and 12°. The front height of both versions of the keyboard are also reasonably low, at 13.8 mm on the low-profile keyboard and 18.9 mm on the full-height version.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Microsoft has unveiled a new hardware-accelerated BitLocker encryption system for Windows 11, which shifts cryptographic operations from software to dedicated accelerator units integrated into future CPU microarchitectures. Historically, software-based BitLocker in Windows 11 has caused massive performance degradation. For example, in Windows 11 going from no BitLocker to software-based BitLocker has caused average number of cycles per I/O to skyrocket from roughly 400,000 cycles to about 1.9 million cycles. This is a 375% increase in cycles per I/O, and can cause significant storage performance degradations. However, Microsoft is finally bringing hardware-based encryption to solve this.

The new hardware acceleration, announced at Ignite 2025 in November, is now available in Windows 11 version 25H2 and Windows Server 2025 with the September update. Early testing shows that some workloads experience double the storage performance while reducing CPU usage by over 70%. The system offloads AES-XTS-256 encryption processing from the main processor to a fixed-function cryptography engine embedded within the SoC. Encryption keys are hardware-wrapped to enhance security against memory-based attacks. The initial rollout will target Intel vPro platforms with the upcoming Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" processors, but Microsoft plans to extend support to other vendors as well.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

KBDfans has officially announced version 3 of its famous Tofu60 custom gaming keyboard, which offers a variety of options, including myriad color options, the choice of wired mechanical in both soldered and hot-swap options, wireless mechanical, and wired Hall-effect PCBs. As the name suggests, the Tofu60 is a 60% keyboard, which means it opts for a small form factor over the convenience of a dedicated F row, num pad, arrow cluster, and navigation cluster. As with previous Tofu60 keyboards, the Tofu60 3.0 is made entirely of CNC-machined aluminium with an anodized finish and the dual-mode mechanical versions offer both wired and Bluetooth connectivity. The new case uses a top mount or a PCB gasket mount, and it comes with options for an aluminium, stainless steel, or copper weight bar. There are plenty of color options and combinations available, all of which can be previewed on the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], after which prospective buyers can purchase their configuration on the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Pre-orders are open from December 30, 2025, until January 30, 2026, and shipping is expected to start in Q2 2026.

The Tofu60 3.0 is once again powered by ZMK firmware, which should make it quite efficient when it comes to battery life, although KBDfans has not made any battery life claims yet. The bottom case is available with both a matte and textured finish, and you can mix and match various color options on the store page. The Tofu60 3.0 is available in WK (with a Windows key), WKL (Win-keyless), and the coveted HHKB layout, and the mechanical variants offer both ANSI and ISO support. KBDfans also offers a variety of other plate options, including FR4, PEI, PC, aluminium, and carbon fiber, but users can also opt for a plate-less build, which would only really be practical for the soldered mechanical variant. The starting price for the barebones kit—meaning no switches, stabilizers, or keycaps, is $130, which also includes a carrying case. If you want to step up to a wireless hotswap PCB with ZMK firmware and internal case foams, the price jumps up to $159.01, and adding a weight bar will set you back $15 for the aluminium weight, $35 for the stainless steel weight, and $51 for the copper weight bar. The base model HE version comes in at $165.01 without any weight bar.

[Editor's note: You can read our [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] here]

In the comments, the affected user explains that the burned cable was part of an included adaptor that connects the 12V-2x6 connector on the GPU to three 8-pin connectors on the PSU side. As commenters in the thread have also pointed out, these sorts of failures seem to be more common when similar adaptors are used, which makes sense, since most official sources attribute failures to overheating caused by improper contact across one or more pins.
