Ever-increasing memory prices are prompting AMD to switch Radeon production focus to less-expensive 8GB models. However, this won’t be enough to mitigate the need for price increases, as board partners prepare to charge 5-10% more for RDNA 4 graphics cards. Reports of these changes are emerging on Board Channels, a forum frequented by industry insiders ripe with information allegedly sourced straight from the mouths of graphics card vendors. There, posters claim AMD and board partners’ focus moving forward will be Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB and RX 7650 GRE cards, in order to maximise production capacity. The RX 9060 XT 16GB and RX 9070 XT apparently retain high importance, but AMD will greatly scale back production of other high-capacity cards, namely the RX 9070 and RX 9070 GRE. This development echoes prior rumours of reprioritisation, with the 9070 XT trumping its closely-related non-XT sibling. While I’m glad that AMD isn’t completely discarding 16GB cards, I’ll wait to see how stock levels and pricing hold up. In any case, it seems like getting your hands on an 8GB GPU will be the much easier option. Sadly, it seems we’ll be paying more for all Radeon cards, regardless of VRAM capacity. Other discussions on Board Channels claim that AMD is planning an additional 5-10% price increase for its lineup, on top of price rises that have already occurred. It seems that despite public commitments to keep graphics cards as close to MSRP as possible, market pressures are simply too great. These higher costs won’t put AMD on the backfoot relative to Nvidia, though. Further chatter on Board Channels describes these price rises as catching up to the cost level of comparable Nvidia models. Here’s hoping we don’t see the Radeon RX 9070 XT matching the now-$1,000 price tag of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. Given that new graphics cards may soon become unaffordable for many, I’d love to see AMD take this opportunity to bolster its existing install base. Providing proper FSR 4 support to ol...

Electricity from Nordseecluster B will power more than 139,000 German households each year. Credit: harhar38/Shutterstock.com. Renewable energy company RWE has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Amazon for 110MW of electricity from RWE’s Nordseecluster B offshore wind farm in the German North Sea. The agreement expands upon the strategic framework established between the two companies in June 2025. The electricity generated from the Nordseecluster B wind farm will be sufficient to power more than 139,000 German households annually. Located approximately 50km north of the German island of Juist, the Nordseecluster offshore wind project is being developed in two phases. Nordseecluster A, the first phase with a capacity of 660MW, is under construction and aims to commence operations in early 2027. The second phase, known as Nordseecluster B, plans to add 900MW, with an anticipated operational date set for 2029. GlobalData Strategic Intelligence US Tariffs are shifting - will you react or anticipate? Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard. Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis. By GlobalData Learn more about Strategic Intelligence The wind project is a joint venture (JV) involving RWE, which holds a 51% stake, and Norges Bank Investment Management with 49%. The agreement aims to advance Amazon’s carbon-free energy objectives while supporting RWE’s digital transformation through cloud and AI services provided by Amazon Web Services. RWE supply and trading chief commercial officer Ulf Kerstin said: “Power purchase agreements like this one with Amazon are crucial for accelerating Germany’s decarbonisation while strengthening long‑term security of supply. “By enabling large‑scale offshore projects such as the Nordseecluster, we can bring more reliable, carbon‑free electricity onto the grid and support a resilient energy system.” The arrangement with RWE aligns with Amazon’s objective to achieve net-zero carbon emissions throughout its ...

Norinchukin Bank said it expects to book additional losses from a joint venture over First Brands Group -related transactions, but it’s keeping its original target of ¥30-70 billion yen ($192-447 million) in annual net income. JA Mitsui Leasing Ltd. will book a ¥150.5 billion allowance on the collapsed US auto-parts supplier, more than three times what it had set aside in November, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. Norinchukin, which has a little over 40% stake in the joint venture with trading company Mitsui & Co., expects about a ¥50 billion impact on its full-year net income through March 2026, a bank spokesman said. This is bigger than what it had previously estimated. Norinchukin is discussing a capital injection into JA Mitsui and the joint venture’s business management improvement.

Israeli fire in Gaza killed at least 17 Palestinians, most of them women and children, hospital officials said on Wednesday. Israel said its strikes came after militants fired on its soldiers, seriously wounding one. Seven women and five children were killed, hospital officials said, including a 5-month-old and a baby just 10 days old. They are the latest Palestinians in Gaza to die since a ceasefire deal, which has been punctuated by deadly Israeli strikes, came into effect on October 10, 2025. More than 530 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in that time, according to Gaza’s health ministry. “The genocidal war against our people in the Gaza Strip continues,” said Dr Mohamed Abu Selmiya, director of Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, in a Facebook post. “Where is the ceasefire? Where are the mediators?” Advertisement The attacks and the escalating death toll have rocked the US-backed truce and caused Palestinians in the strip to say it does not feel like the war has ended. Mediators have condemned the attacks and Hamas has called them violations of the deal, but Israel’s military says it is responding to Hamas violations or militant attacks on its soldiers. The military says four soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire took hold. Palestinians mourned the loss of three people at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, who were killed in an Israeli attack on Wednesday. Photo: dpa Early on Wednesday, Israeli troops fired on a building in the Tuffah neighbourhood in north Gaza, killing at least 11 people, most from the same family, said Shifa Hospital, which received the bodies. The dead included two parents, their 10-day-old daughter, her 5-month-old cousin and their grandmother.

Elon Musk wants to make Tesla an early mover in a potential $5 trillion industry. Tesla (TSLA +0.00%) has long been a polarizing company and stock, but there's no denying that CEO Elon Musk's boldness has produced life-changing investment returns over the years. Now, the company is gearing up for its boldest move yet. Tesla is transitioning from traditional electric vehicles to autonomous vehicles and humanoid robotics. Elon Musk has firmly stated his belief that Tesla's Optimus robot is the company's future. Tesla continues to showcase Optimus and its growing capabilities, and another company is already training humanoid robots in factories to perform labor. At this rate, Tesla's Optimus may be useful for some real-world applications as soon as this year. Of course, that's speculation right now. Is it time to buy the stock now? Before Tesla's big moment and this story goes from speculation to reality? Signs of the future happening now Musk is known for making bold promises, but his insistence on Optimus as Tesla's future isn't ringing hollow. Musk recently announced that Tesla will discontinue legacy models, including the Model S and Model X, to make room for production lines to manufacture Optimus at its Fremont factory. These models currently account for only a small portion of Tesla's vehicle sales, but it still feels like crossing a threshold. Tesla is genuinely putting its future in Optimus and its Robotaxi ride-hailing service, a future built on artificial intelligence-powered innovation that Musk and Tesla have worked toward for more than a decade now. Tesla has a ton of upside if the company pulls this off. Experts believe the humanoid robotics market could reach $5 trillion by 2050.

This will be the year when the neocloud company shows whether its execution can keep pace with its ambitions. 2025 was the year CoreWeave (CRWV +1.33%) locked in demand for its data centers. Revenue surged, multiyear contracts piled up, and the company emerged as a critical supplier of artificial intelligence (AI) computing power to customers such as OpenAI and Meta Platforms. But 2026 will be a different test. At this point, investors no longer need proof that demand for AI processing power exists. What matters now is whether CoreWeave can provide it at scale, convert contracted backlog into delivered capacity, and do so without overstretching its balance sheet. In short, 2026 will be about proof, not promise. Can CoreWeave deliver more capacity on time and at scale? The most important question facing CoreWeave in 2026 is also the simplest: Can it deliver what it has already sold? Its substantial backlog will only turn into revenue if it can bring new data centers online on schedule, deploy massive quantities of GPUs as planned, and do so without electricity constraints disrupting its timelines. In 2025, even modest hints of deployment delays or higher-than-expected capital spending were enough to move the stock -- a clear signal that investors are focusing on the company's execution risk. That focus is justified. AI infrastructure is unforgiving. Delays don't just push revenue out by a quarter; they can strain customer relationships and cascade through the rest of the buildout plan. In 2026, investors will closely watch data centers' go-live cadence, GPU deployment versus contracted commitments, and any pattern of timeline slippage or guidance revisions. Consistent delivery on expectations would reinforce the market's confidence that CoreWeave can operate as a hyperscaler. Repeated delays, even if they are individually explainable, would raise concerns that the company is stretching itself too thin. Expand NASDAQ : CRWV CoreWeave Today's Change ( 1.33 %) $ 1.18 Cu...

A selloff in software stocks and other sectors deemed at risk from advances in artificial intelligence showed no sign of abating on Wednesday, and according to JPMorgan Chase & Co., the grim mood among investors is unrelenting. “We are now in an environment where the sector isn’t just guilty until proven innocent but is now being sentenced before trial,” said JPMorgan analyst Toby Ogg. Ogg met more than 50 investors across Europe and the US over two weeks and said he found that they had significantly reduced software holdings over the past 12 to 18 months. Even after the latest pullback, “the general appetite to step in remains generally low,” he said in a client note. His comments follow Tuesday’s rout across the software, financial services and asset management sectors sparked by concerns about competition from a new AI automation tool released by Anthropic PBC. Investors are fretting that many businesses will come under increased threat from advances in generative AI. For software companies, “better-than-expected results are no longer enough to convince the market,” Ogg wrote. That’s unless “they can demonstrate irrefutably that AI is a sustainable tailwind to growth rather than a longer-term headwind,” he said. It’s a difficult obstacle for software firms to overcome because investor concerns range across multiple fronts, he said. Among these is the seat-based pricing model, where software providers charge on a per-user basis. This could be undermined by AI tools reducing the number of logins that customers require to complete their tasks.

Eventually, any new launches from leading AI platforms, such as the latest legal offering by Anthropic, will exacerbate investor concerns around the sector, Ogg said.
