Samsung has officially teased its upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, its new ultra-slim handset that will compete against Apple's purported iPhone 17 Air later this year.

The kicker? It won't be launched globally, and will experience a staggered release according to the folks at Android Authority who chatted with a Samsung spokesperson. Samsung teased its new Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone during its Galaxy Unpacked event where it unveiled the new Galaxy S25 family of smartphones, with an ultra-thin design, flat edges, a flat display, and dual rear-facing cameras.

We don't know what is inside the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, but rumor has it that we'll see the ultra-thin smartphone at just 6.4mm thick with a 3000mAh to 4000mAh battery, and a 200-megapixel camera on the rear like the flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra that was just announced at Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung has just announced its new Galaxy S25 series of smartphones, including the new Galaxy S25, S25+, and flagship S25 Ultra handsets. Check them out:

Samsung's new Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ smartphones feature the same 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch displays as their predecessors. We've also got a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. The new Galaxy S25 has a 4000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S25+ features a 4900mAh battery.

Samsung's new Galaxy S25 in its base form starts with 128GB of storage, while all of the new Galaxy S25 smartphones feature the company's latest One UI 7 software, which is based on Google's new Android 15 operating system. The regular Galaxy S25 features 25W wired charging, while the Galaxy S25+ features 45W charging speeds.

NVIDIA is cooking up a monster new workstation GPU with a tease of a new Blackwell GPU featuring a whopping 96GB (!!!) of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit memory bus.

The new NVIDIA RTX Blackwell GPU with 96GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit memory bus would be using 3GB GDDR7 modules, compared to the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 with its 32GB of GDDR7 memory using 2GB memory modules. We know that the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU will use 3GB GDDR7 memory modules with its 24GB GDDR7, using the GB203 GPU on a 256-bit memory bus.

ComputerBase spotted the new RTX Blackwell GPU in recent shipping manifests, which will eventually turn into a workstation-ready RTX series card -- probably the RTX 8000 Blackwell GPU series -- with the PG153 board, which hasn't been used in any gaming-focused graphics cards so far.

Intel's next-generation Nova Lake CPUs are in the headlines again, this time spotted inside of new shipping manifests at NBD.ltd, and hopefully ready to kick some Ryzen ass.

The next CPU architecture from Intel will be Panther Lake, showcased at CES 2025 earlier this year, and will be the company's first consumer platform on its new Intel 18A process node. Intel has a lot riding on the new 18A process node, with Panther Lake scheduled for mass production in 2H 2025, with the next CPU architecture to follow Panther Lake will be Nova Lake.

We're expecting Intel's next-gen Nova Lake CPUs to be fabbed on Intel 14A or TSMC 2nm according to rumors, and it will NOT be featuring on-package memory (that was a once-off for Lunar Lake). The shipping manifest listing is close to a month old, meaning that Intel is hard at work on its next-gen consumer CPU platform, which will succeed Panther Lake once it launches later this year.

AMD has said that its upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors will have gaming performance similar to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, with the additional cores not helping out in games that much.

Martijn Boonstra, AMD's Product and Business Development Manager, told VideoGamer: "New chips will provide similar overall gaming performance to the 9800X3D. There will be some games that perform a bit better (if the game engine utilizes more cores and threads), and some games will perform a little worse (if the game engine favors a 1CCD configuration), but on the whole, the experience is comparable".

He continued, adding: "Ryzen 9000X3D Series desktop processors are perfect for gamers and content creators alike. Whether you are already on the AM5 platform, on AM4 or another platform, these products are sure to impress".

NVIDIA's purported GeForce RTX 5090 Ti specifications have been teased... and what a bloody monster it would be if it ever sees the light of day.

The purported GeForce RTX 5090 Ti graphics card would have the GB200-200 GPU, with 24576 CUDA corers, with a base GPU clock of 2100MHz and GPU boost clock of up to 2514MHz, with 32GB of faster 32Gbps GDDR7 memory with 2TB/sec of memory bandwidth, and a monster 800W TDP fed through dual 12V-2x6 power connectors... and I want one.

The image of the unnamed prototype GPU board was shared on the Chiphell forums, and with some hefty specs -- 13% more CUDA cores and 225W more TDP than the upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 -- lacks official drivers to get it working. We don't normally see a prototype like this appearing so early, so let's hope we get to see more details about it soon (and a release would be really nice, but NVIDIA isn't threatened by AMD... especially as RDNA 4 won't even be hitting RTX 5080 performance).

We all know that Kingpin made some of the best custom GPUs on the planet, but the overclocking champ is bowing out of the custom GeForce RTX 50 GPU... which is sad, but he's not gone forever.

In a new video, Vince "Kingpin" Lucido explained that he has no plans to release a custom GeForce RTX 50 series GPU and that the reason lies in contractural issues. Kingpin did tease that we could expect a custom graphics card touched with his overclocking help in the future, and that maybe it won't be Team Green... teasing "maybe it'll be another color".

Vince explained: "there's no my card this generation. It can't come for Gen 5. It's impossible. There are just too many issues over here, and it would creat a lot of problems if I jumped on board so quickly. Still, I can't really say much about that. Well, because it has to do with my previous contractural stuff. I love graphics cards. I love making graphics cards, and for sure, I don't think that's going to die. But I think that's going to die. But I think we'll have to wait -- still have to wait for another generation. And who knows? Maybe it won't be Team Green; maybe it'll be another color".

Thermal Grizzly has just released its new Duronaut high-performance thermal paste, offering exceptional long-term stability and excellent thermal conductivity.

The company explains that the outstanding performance in heat transfer is further enhanced by the ability to apply the new Duronaut thermal paste in an extremely thin layer, made possible by its unique composition of aluminum microparticles and zinc oxide nanoparticles, which is optimized for particle shapes and sizes.

Thermal Grizzly says that these features make excellent adhesion of the paste to the surface, with the powders mixed into a specially developed silicon oil, providing "extraordinary long-term stability".

Yet another rumor has emerged that NVIDIA's Blackwell GeForce GPUs won't have a healthy level of stock when they're launched, and this one focuses on the RTX 5090, underlining other speculation that the next-gen flagship will be vanishingly thin on the ground.

We heard this from gaming PC builder PowerGPU after the company shared its thoughts on X, as you can see in the above post.

This is a warning, no less, that the "RTX 5090 will be the worst when it comes to availability" which we presume refers to Blackwell availability (as opposed to the worst ever all-time GPU for low stock levels).

NVIDIA's RTX 5090 GPU has seen a few purported benchmarks aired at this point - hardly surprising as the reviews are almost here, if the grapevine is to be believed - and we've caught another, but this time it's a gaming-related effort.

Not an in-game benchmark, sadly, but nonetheless it's interesting to see a 3DMark result for the Blackwell flagship, albeit with all the usual caveats attached to any such rumors.

This comes from VideoCardz which has obtained 3DMark data from a few reviewers. We're told that the uplift for the RTX 5090 compared to the RTX 4090 is 33% in Time Spy, 36% in Fire Strike, and 46% in the other tests (Port Royal, Speed Way, and the newest effort, Steel Nomad - creeping over 50% in the latter).
