NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has acknowledged that AI may be contributing to students losing basic mathematical skills, but questioned whether that is necessarily a problem. “Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter? … Yeah, I don’t think it does.” Huang argued that while some traditional skills may fade, people will develop new abilities better suited to an AI-driven world. “There are a lot of skills that don’t matter,” he said, suggesting the focus may shift toward higher-level skills such as systems thinking

Noctua is exploring a new “third cooling path” that could help future desktop systems handle up to 2,000W of heat without relying on complex liquid-cooling loops. The concept aims to push cooling beyond traditional air and liquid solutions by using forced physics to improve heat transfer, potentially offering a simpler approach for increasingly power-hungry hardware.

AI data centers could make already-hot cities even warmer, with their powerful cooling systems releasing huge amounts of heat into surrounding areas. According to a Bloomberg report, researchers at Arizona State University found that temperatures downwind of four Phoenix-area data centers were 1.3°F to 1.6°F higher than upwind areas, with the effect detectable up to roughly one-third of a mile away. In some areas, temperatures were as much as 4°F higher. Researchers warn that this growing thermal footprint could become a larger contributor to urban heat islands as AI infrastructure rapidly expands.

A developer working on bringing NVIDIA’s DLSS Ray Reconstruction technology to AMD Radeon GPUs achieved a major performance improvement in just one day. The developer reports a 74% boost after optimizing the implementation, highlighting how much performance can still be gained through software-level tuning. The project aims to bring advanced AI-based image reconstruction features to Radeon hardware.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella praised Xbox’s ongoing restructuring during an interview on the Sources Podcast, calling the company’s “streamlining” efforts “great to see” following thousands of layoffs and studio closures. Discussing Xbox’s future, Nadella said, “I feel fantastic about the IP we have right now,” adding that he feels “fantastic” about its ability to produce great games. He also said Xbox needs to develop the “right sustainable business model” to bring gaming to more people.

A Walmart customer ordered one MSI RTX 5070 Ti for $1,099 but unexpectedly received four identical GPUs. The four cards are worth more than $5,000 combined, making the accidental shipment a massive bargain.

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan says he increasingly relies on AI agents to handle research and “homework,” reducing the need for assistants. He is also impressed by photonic quantum computing, particularly PsiQuantum’s approach using photons for faster, more scalable systems. Tan believes quantum computing’s success will ultimately depend on finding practical applications and strong customer demand.

While many fans of the original Final Fantasy VII don't particularly appreciate the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII titles, there's no denying that they provide a fascinating look at how Square Enix handled direct sequels and prequels for its popular series for the first time ever. Even more fascinating are games that never made it to the West, such as Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII and Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode -Final Fantasy VII. To recover and preserve the latter, a dedicated developer called Yui required a 90-GPU server farm and $900, and now their efforts have borne fruit, as the game is now playable on modern Android devices and PC, thanks to the efforts of another developer.

A customer who paid $10,849.96 for an exclusive ROG Astral RTX 5090 Edition 20 bundle found its USB-C AMOLED port recessed behind the faceplate, making the display unusable. Newegg says it can only provide a replacement if the GPU is in stock, otherwise offering a partial refund covering the graphics card.

SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk plans to bring more than half a million NVIDIA AI GPUs online as part of his company’s Colossus data center project. Construction on Colossus began in 2024, and its first phase, Colossus 1, is already operational. Musk’s comments concerned the project’s second phase, Colossus 2, which is also being developed in Memphis. According to Musk, while Colossus 1 primarily relied on NVIDIA’s Hopper-generation GPUs, Colossus 2 will primarily use NVIDIA’s Blackwell GB300 GPUs.
