'The GPU never reads the same text twice': Belgian startup Corbenic wants to turn your server's SSD into AI memory, but its 14x speedup owes more to reading less

Corbenic AI's Galahad beta saves a model's KV cache to encrypted local NVMe so servers can skip rereading text after GPU memory is cleared or after a restart Founder Sietse Schelpe tells TechRadar Pro no special hardware is needed, but the paper credits most of the 14x speedup to Blaise, a retrieval component, not SSD loading LMCache, Nvidia Dynamo and CMX, WEKA and Phison already persist KV cache to storage; Galahad's edge is exact, fail-closed reuse in one small library Belgian startup Corbenic AI says it can stop GPUs from rereading documents they have already processed, and its founder told TechRadar Pro the trick needs nothing more exotic than the NVMe drive already sitting in the server. Galahad, which entered beta on October 1 2026 , saves a model's key-value (KV) cache, the attention state built while a model reads a prompt, to encrypted local storage and reloads it the n...

Behold, Intel plans a 480GB GPU, a video card with more memory than the average laptop SSD has storage — but of course it's for AI, and curiously, it will use LPPDR5X, not even GDDR7

Intel's GPU D-series sets a new GPU memory record with 480GB of LPDDR5X Intel chose LPDDR5X instead of GDDR7 for its high-capacity AI accelerator The D-series supports models containing up to 300 billion parameters At the recent Open Compute Project Global Summit, Intel unveiled a graphics processor with up to 480GB of memory, an unusually large capacity designed for demanding AI inference workloads. The GPU , called Intel GPU D-series and previously known by its Crescent Island codename, also hosts specialized computing hardware. The Intel D-series has now dethroned Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra B300, which offers 288GB of HBM3e memory, as the data center GPU with the highest memory capacity. Intel prioritizes memory capacity Rather than using GDDR7 memory associated with modern graphics cards, Intel has chosen LPDDR5X, a memory technology commonly found in laptops and other power-consciou...

World's smallest PC with a 16GB GDDR7 desktop RTX 5080 GPU goes on sale for $2,647, but you will have to buy your own SSD, RAM, and OS — Zotac Magnus One Ultra has an 850W PSU and can drive 6 4K monitors

Zotac Magnus One Ultra’s Core Ultra 7 265 delivers 20 cores and speeds of up to 5.3 GHz Nvidia rates the desktop RTX 5080 at 1,801 AI TOPS for artificial intelligence workloads The desktop GPU features 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 Tensor cores, and 84 RT cores Zotac has released a compact desktop computer built around Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5080, with barebones pricing starting at approximately ~ $2,640 in Japan. The Magnus One Ultra EU275080C combines a desktop graphics card with Intel's Core Ultra 7 265 processor inside an 11.46L enclosure. The 20-core processor runs at 2.4GHz and boosts up to 5.3GHz, and Zotac says the device is one of the smallest PC to pair a desktop RTX 5080 with a desktop Intel Core Ultra chip. Desktop RTX 5080 power comes in a compact enclosure The system uses Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture and supports DLSS 4.5 with Multi-Frame Generation, ray tracing, 4K gaming and loc...

Microsoft's Maia 300 swaps raw compute for a 2.5x memory bandwidth gain as it moves to make in-house silicon its main AI engine while claiming a 40% efficiency bump — could going the Google route be the pin that pops the Nvidia AI bubble?

Microsoft will make Maia its main inference engine at multi-gigawatt scale, following Google and Amazon into in-house silicon Microsoft's upcoming Maia 300 trades a modest 36% compute gain for 2.5x Maia 200's memory bandwidth, betting on memory-bound decode, with production in 2027 Hyperscalers supply just over half of Nvidia's data center revenue at a 75% gross margin, so each move to in-house chips affects not only its pricing power but the chip industry's sustainability as a whole In 2024, Microsoft told the European Commission that Google was the only company vertically integrated at every AI layer, from chips to a mobile app store, and that "everybody else must rely on partnerships to innovate and compete." Now, it has revealed plans to follow the same route without breaking a sweat. In an Official Microsoft Blog post , Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Cl...

I tested the Sony Bravia 9 II for weeks. It’s the best mini-LED TV of 2026, and a ‘showcase for what RGB can do’ — and it takes the fight to OLED

Sony Bravia 9 II review: Two-minute review RGB TVs, called ‘True RGB LED’ here by Sony, are still in their infancy, with RGB regularly touted as the technology that will topple OLED at the top of the TV mountain — and of the few I’ve tested so far, the Sony Bravia 9 II is the one that comes closest to succeeding. It takes everything I liked about the step-down Sony Bravia 7 II (also True RGB LED) and levels it up, including picture quality, sound and gaming performance, all of which are up there with the best TVs of 2026. The Bravia 9 II’s picture quality is its crowning achievement. It delivers vibrant yet accurate-looking colors which make movies pop, fluid motion that’s great for sports and, with its anti-glare matte screen, it’s perfect for bright-room viewing too. Its most impressive elements, though, are its contrast and reproduction of dark tones, which are arguably the best I’ve seen fr...
