Former boss Shuhei Yoshida thinks day-one PlayStation launches on PC would be a mistake

Delayed PC ports are "printing money" without hurting PS5 sales, Yoshida argues
In context: Shuhei Yoshida spent nearly four decades at Sony, from 1986 until his retirement in 2025. The executive was also part of the original PlayStation team since 1993, which means he knows a thing or two about how you run a successful video game business.

Asrock's new HUDIMM standard wants to make DDR5 affordable again, by cutting it in half

The half-bandwidth, half-density memory spec was co-developed with Intel and TeamGroup
Please Burst: Asrock recently introduced the HUDIMM standard, a new type of DDR5 RAM module designed to slash performance and keep the PC memory market affordable throughout some never-before-seen market conditions. The new HUDIMM modules are essentially a worse edition of traditional DDR5, because memory prices inflated by enterprise and AI demand have pushed capable consumer hardware increasingly out of reach for mainstream buyers.

AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights

Nvidia still dominates, but AI demand is lifting the rest of the chip market
Bottom line: Demand for AI infrastructure has been reshaping how investors value chipmakers, and recent results from key suppliers have strengthened the view that compute-intensive workloads will continue to grow. The effect has been evident with CPU vendors as of late. AMD's stock traded at $278 on Thursday, putting its market value at about $454 billion. Intel's rally from early March pushed the stock toward $68 and lifted its market cap to just under $340 billion. Arm's shares, meanwhile, traded close to $165, valuing the company at roughly $174 billion.
