I stopped reaching for Raspberry Pi when the $60 board hit $95
…If anything, it clarifies why I stopped defaulting to boards that depend on expensive memory in the first place. Before you buy a Raspberry Pi for a new project, stop and ask…

How does one make flash storage behave like memory?
As the global markets find themselves in the middle of a memory crisis, the obvious solution to a memory shortage is, well, more DRAM. The problem is that DRAM is becoming increasingly expensive. Memory alone is expected to account for roughly 30% of hyperscaler data center expenditure this year, which marks a fourfold increase since 2023. At those prices, simply throwing more memory at growing AI workloads is becoming an increasingly difficult proposition for cloud providers trying to keep infrastructure costs under control. That's the demand side of the issue. The supply side, on the other h
AMD's new memory tiering tech may soon turn storage into RAM, but your PC won't see itThe Steam Deck won because Valve solved what Microsoft refuses to fix for gaming handhelds
…Whether it's breaking news about the latest AMD NPUs or creating video tutorials on social media platforms, Jasmine has contributed to the world of AI and tech in a variety of…
Your old GPU isn't just slow — it has worse bottlenecks than you think
…AMD's FSR 4 and the newer Redstone version officially support only the newest RX 9000 series cards. Even though you can run FSR 4 on older GPUs anyway via OptiScaler, the…
I've kept the same AMD motherboard for years while Intel buyers bought three, and the math isn't close
…Eventually, every CPU manufacturer arrives at a point where a new socket becomes necessary to accommodate architectural enhancements, power requirements, and upgraded circuitry to support it. However, it's the juxtaposition with…
Mini PC clusters are silently replacing rack servers in home labs, and I finally understand why
…Inside is the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, 128GB of LPDDR5x memory, and 4TB of NVMe storage, running Proxmox with a few dozen VMs and LXCs on. Honestly, the only thing missing…
I finally understand why Valve abandoned the Steam Machine — the Steam Deck just proved it
…Alongside this, because memory manufacturers are prioritizing high-margin AI silicon, consumer-grade LPDDR5 and NVMe storage supply lines have completely dried up, which has tripled component prices in a matter of…
AMD shipped Nvidia's new AI laptop over a year ago, and the software is finally catching up
…2.11 added device-side assertions and TopK/radix-select optimizations for AMD GPUs, and 2.12 added expandable memory segments, rocSHMEM symmetric memory collectives, and FlexAttention pipelining. The framework that sits…
I tried passing an NPU through Proxmox, and the software just isn't ready to catch up with the hardware
…A GPU passthrough setup is already fussy, and at least those paths are well-traveled now. NPUs are newer, narrower, and much less forgiving when the host, guest, kernel modules, firmware, and…
FSR 4.1 just made AMD's last-gen flagship a smarter buy than its current one
…After all, bandwidth and memory capacity still matter, and enormously so. Take the conversation outside of just gaming, and the RX 7900 XT still feels like the more versatile enthusiast card in…
Google's Gemma 4 isn't the smartest local LLM I've run, but it's the one I reach for most
