There's a rare but persistent issue with Socket AM5 processors where, occasionally, they burn out. The name that has come up the most in discussions of this issue is ASRock, which might make you think that ASRock has had the most failures. That's not necessarily a given; the tracking of the problem started on the /r/ASRock sub-Reddit, and that's why many of the failure reports are on ASRock motherboards. Given its proximity to the problem, you might expect that ASRock would have already put out a statement about it. Well, it hadn't — until now, anyway. In an official statement published on its website's "News" section, ASRock says it is "closely monitoring recent discussions regarding the performance and behavior of AMD Ryzen™ 9000 series processors on ASRock AMD platforms." No mention of exactly what the issues are, and no specific mention of Ryzen 9 or X3D processors, either — simply, 'we heard there's a problem, and we're looking into it.' Ten-four, ASRock. This echoes a similar statement from ASUS recently, and MSI has also released remarks on the issue. (Image credit: Enwyi/Reddit) In most reports, these chips normally get so hot that they leave scorch marks on the CPU and socket. Well, they don't normally fail at all, but you understand. We don't want to overstate the frequency of this issue; at the time of writing, there are around 350 reports, which sounds like a lot until you consider both that reports are not the same as verified, root-caused failures, and also the hundreds of thousands of Socket AM5 CPUs that are out there. This problem affects an infinitesimally tiny fraction of Socket AM5 users — but that doesn't make it any less frustrating, of course. The "burnt CPUs" issue initially plagued the Ryzen 7000 series processors way back in 2023, and last year, it was frequently framed as an issue specifically affecting AMD's "X3D" gaming processors with 3D V-Cache. While the pictures of burned processors and melted CPU sockets are certainly evocative, it'...

BING-JHEN HONG Nvidia ( NVDA ) will not release a new gaming GPU in 2026, due to the ongoing supply crunch in memory, The Information reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. Instead, the company is prioritizing its supply of memory, which has become an issue for the tech industry, for its artificial intelligence accelerators, the news outlet added , citing its sources. The company is also cutting production of its line of gaming GPUs, due to the memory shortage, one of the people added. If the Jensen Huang-led company does not release a new gaming GPU this year, it would be the first time in three decades it has not done so. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.

On Sunday, his Iranian counterpart was asked in an interview with CNN whether Iran was prepared to discuss reported US demands. These were to curb its ballistic missile development and halt support for proxy militias, as well as end the production of enriched uranium, which is used to make reactor fuel but can also potentially be used for nuclear weapons.

An independent cinema in Oregon has claimed Amazon pulled screenings of their documentary about Melania Trump in protest at the cinema’s marketing strategy. As reported by local newspaper the Lake Oswego Review, the general manager of the Lake Theater & Cafe has claimed the corporation cancelled future screenings of Brett Ratner’s authorised study of the first lady after being alerted to promotional pushes such as: “To defeat your enemy. You must know them. Melania” and “Does Melania wear Prada? Find out on Friday!” Writing on the cinema’s Instagram, Jordan Perry said: “Got a call that the higher ups (ie, at Amazon) were upset with how our marquee marketed their movie (ie, Melania), that, per them, Sunday would be its last day here.” Perry added that he hoped Amazon wouldn’t cancel his Prime membership and directed devoted Amazon fans to “show your support at Whole Foods instead”. The cinema owner also addressed those who had criticised his decision to show the film in the first place. In a post titled Why I, Jordan, Got Melania Here,” Perry wrote that his overriding instinct was that the programming “would be funny”. There was also a financial imperative, he added: “The film marketplace this week and next were a desert … So, to fill a screen, why not get this inexplicable vanity piece from the current president’s wife? I mean, it just seems so weird that it even exists (who wants a movie about Melania lol?), and wouldn’t it then be exponentially weirder, to the point of being funny, to show it here, at your obviously anti-establishment, occasionally troublemaking, neighbourhood cinema?” Amazon’s cancellation of the film in the Oregon cinema comes as some in the US have flagged the incongruity of healthy ticket sales and apparently empty cinemas. The film took $7m (£5.1m) over its opening weekend domestically and opened at No 3 in the US box office charts. The Daily Beast reports that there have been accusations of “fake tickets sales” to boost the box office totals...

Aidan Doyle was an estate agent in Liverpool before he decamped to Dubai and turned a £30,000 annual income into £500,000 a year and climbing. Acting as an agent for buyers and sellers, Doyle has seen his commission soar beyond anything he could hope to generate in the UK after just three years in the city, one of seven city-states in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is becoming a significant threat to the US, Europe and the UK as a destination for bankers, hedge fund managers, lawyers, accountants and the people offering services that facilitate their globetrotting, including travel and estate agents. These days its lure is so potent, the city, nestled on the eastern side of the Arabian peninsula, has attracted both young entrepreneurs such as Doyle and more established figures. They have quit the UK to benefit from the ultra-modern facilities on offer such as 5G telecommunications and state-of-the-art hospitals, to register their businesses, buy vast live-work spaces, and trade with the rest of the world. Last year, the billionaire steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal joined a long procession of wealthy incomers after saying he was quitting Britain for Dubai in protest against Labour’s abolition of non-dom status – a previously longstanding arrangement that allowed him to keep his wealth offshore free of UK tax. The 75-year-old, who bought a palatial home in a gated community known as the “Beverly Hills of Dubai”, was recently joined by Mukesh Ambani, often referred to as Asia’s richest person. Ambani bought one of Dubai’s most expensive home on the beachfront estate of Palm Jumeirah. The property has 10 bedrooms, Italian marble, a 70-metre private beach, and set him back $163m (£120m).

Iran's IRGC Seizes Two 'Fuel-Smuggling' Vessels In Gulf Amid US Showdown Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy says it has seized two vessels near Farsi Island allegedly carrying large quantities of smuggled fuel, the country's Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported Thursday - at a moment the nation's military has its "finger on the trigger" amid threats from the Trump White House and Israel . More than one million liters of diesel were discovered aboard the ships, according to the IRGC Navy's public relations office, and the seized 15 foreign crew members have been handed over to judicial authorities. Illustrative: prior fuel smuggling-related IRGC boarding, PressTV ISNA reported that the vessels were part of a fuel-smuggling network that had been operating for months and were intercepted following "monitoring, intelligence work, and IRGC naval operations." While the interdiction against the alleged fuel smuggling vessels is significant, Thursday's incident is somewhat more common and less alarming that if it had been a international oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, for example. Still, Tehran is using it to send a warning to any external power acting menacingly in its regional waters. Ezzatollah Zarghami, a former minister and ex-head of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, later on Thursday issued a blunt warning, declaring that "the Strait of Hormuz will be the place of massacre and hell." "I am sure that the Strait of Hormuz will be the place of massacre and hell for the US," Zarghami said. "Iran will show that the Strait of Hormuz has historically belonged to Iran. The only thing the Americans can think of is playing with their vessels and moving them from one place to another." With seizures at sea now paired with explicit threats, tensions around one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints - which the IRGC has frequently threatened it could block off altogether - continue to climb. This especially as Tehran is warning that it is ready to st...

photobyphm/iStock Editorial via Getty Images U.S. telecom Verizon ( VZ ) filed a lawsuit against rival T-Mobile ( TMUS ) over false advertising and for causing irreparable harm with misleading claims of yearly savings of over $1,000 if customers switch carriers, Reuters reported late on Wednesday, citing a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court. T-Mobile exaggerated the alleged savings, sometimes by more than 100%, by comparing its promotional rates with Verizon's standard rates and inflating the value of streaming, satellite connectivity, and other benefits that "the other guys leave out," according to the complaint, which was seen by the news outlet. Verizon said T-Mobile doubled down on savings claims that were “substantially identical” to claims found unsubstantiated and misleading by the National Advertising Review Board in 2025 and 2026, the report said. The NARB is a five-member panel that reviews advertising cases in the U.S. to ensure genuineness and authenticity. The alleged deception includes not offering apples-to-apples comparisons of subscriber costs by understating the savings that New York-based Verizon offers when it bundles various services, such as Netflix with HBO Max or Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN+, the report said. The lawsuit seeks unspecified triple damages for alleged intentional false advertising, damages for violating New York laws against anticompetitive practices, and a halt to the challenged ads.

liu mingzhu/E+ via Getty Images Introduction Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. ( ARLP ) has not really moved that much since I last reviewed it back in late October as potentially a great play with the surge in demand for energy, favoring overlooked coal companies. With the company releasing its latest quarterly earnings and the closure of Mettiki Coal, I believe that it is time to reassess my Strong Buy rating. Current Dynamics ARLP experienced a great surge in profitability during its latest quarterly earnings despite lower overall revenues. This was driven by 3 specific factors, with first, operational efficiency as Adj. EBITDA expense per ton fell by 16.3% compared to last year, meaning they got much better at controlling costs at the mine level. ARLP also booked a $17.5MM gain from a fair value increase in a coal-fired power plant investment. Plus, on a yearly basis, the 2024 numbers were artificially low due to a one-time $31MM impairment charge. That’s why EPS surged 433% to 64 cents, up from 12 cents, while total revenue declined 9.2% to $535.5MM. The hidden growth behind Alliance has been the Oil & Gas royalty segment , which has now become a high-margin heavy hitter for the company, as volumes hit record highs during the quarter, up over 20% Y/Y. Now this segment delivered $30MM in adj. EBITDA for the quarter provides a high-margin buffer against coal price volatility. The elephant in the room has been the Mettiki mine closure in West Virginia , which will cease operation after March 2026, following the loss of its primary customer. Therefore, the company is pivoting towards ramping up production in the Illinois Basin and at Tunnel Ridge. To reassure investors, management confirmed that 93% of their 2026 coal sales volumes are already committed and priced, significantly reducing the risk of a price crash for the partnership this year. But going back to the Mettiki closure, it was only tied to one major local customer, the Mount Storm Power Station in West V...

Shares of Apollo have been volatile since its last earnings report. Apollo Global Management (APO 2.43%) is a leading asset manager and retirement services provider. It's the largest alternative credit manager and a leader in U.S. annuity sales. These businesses have driven robust earnings growth over the past few years. The alternative investments leader expects to report its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results on Feb. 9. Here's a look at whether you should buy the financial stock before that date. What happened the last time Apollo reported earnings? Apollo Global Management reported its third-quarter earnings on Nov. 4. The company reported $1.7 billion, or $2.82 per share, of net income. That was up from $787 million, or $1.30 per share, in the year-ago period. The company posted record quarterly fee-related earnings (FRE) of $652 million, driven by strong growth in third-party management fees and capital solution fees. The company also delivered near-record quarterly spread-related earnings (SRE) of $871 million, driven by strong organic growth. Expand NYSE : APO Apollo Global Management Today's Change ( -2.43 %) $ -3.23 Current Price $ 129.57 Key Data Points Market Cap $77B Day's Range $ 129.44 - $ 131.67 52wk Range $ 102.58 - $ 168.25 Volume 2.5K Avg Vol 3.2M Gross Margin 56.17 % Dividend Yield 1.50 % Apollo also delivered a record quarter of origination activity at $75 billion. Meanwhile, its global wealth platform had a strong quarter, driven by the momentum of its signature semi-liquid and fixed income replacement-focused products. That strong showing initially drove up shares of Apollo: As the chart shows, the company's stock popped 8% after it reported earnings. However, it has proven volatile since then, initially giving back those gains before rallying even higher, only to give most of those gains back as well. What to expect this quarter? Apollo's management team provided some guidance for the fourth quarter on its third-quarter conference ...

See the stocks » Bitcoin's potential future upside Let's start with Bitcoin's potential upside. The growing consensus is that Bitcoin could increase in value 10-fold within the next few years. According to Coinbase Global Chief Executive Officer Brian Armstrong, Bitcoin could hit $1 million within the next five years. Cathie Wood of Ark Invest thinks Bitcoin could hit $1 million even sooner than that, and now projects that Bitcoin could hit $3.8 million per coin by the year 2030. There's simply no other digital asset that has that type of upside potential. For Bitcoin to skyrocket in value from $110,000 to $1 million in just five years implies a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56%. Even top tech growth stocks in their heyday would be hard-pressed to grow at that rate for such an extended period of time. Bitcoin's track record It might seem like a tall task, but Bitcoin has shown that it is up to the job. Bitcoin has been the top-performing asset in the world in eight of the past 10 years. In many years, it hasn't even been close. For example, in 2023, Bitcoin soared by 157%. The next-c...

The two artificial intelligence startups behind rival chatbots ChatGPT and Claude are bracing for an existential showdown this year as both need to prove they can grow a business that will make more money than they're losing. The fiercest competition between the two AI developers, along with bigger companies like Google, is a race to win over corporate leaders looking to adopt AI tools to boost workplace productivity. The rivalry is also spilling into other realms, including the Super Bowl. Anthropic is airing a pair of TV commercials during Sunday's game that ridicule OpenAI for the digital advertising it's beginning to place on free and cheaper versions of ChatGPT. While Anthropic has centered its revenue model on selling Claude to other businesses, OpenAI has opened the doors to ads as a way of making money from the hundreds of millions of consumers who get ChatGPT for free. Anthropic’s commercials humorously mock the dangers of manipulative chatbots — represented as real people speaking in a stilted and unnaturally effusive tone — that form a relationship with a user before trying to hawk a product. The commercials end with a written message — “Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude.” — followed by the opening beat and lyrics of the Dr. Dre song “What’s the Difference.” In a sign they struck a nerve, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a social media post that he laughed at the “funny” ads but blasted them as dishonest and threw shade at his competitor's smaller customer base. “Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people,” Altman wrote on X. He also boasted that more Texans “use ChatGPT for free” than all the people in the United States who use Claude. The rivalry has existed ever since a group of OpenAI leaders quit the AI research laboratory and formed Anthropic in 2021, promising a clearer focus on the safety of the better-than-human technology called artificial general intelligence that both San Francisco firms wanted to build. That was before OpenAI fir...
