“In this recap of the last couple weeks of hardware news, we show a trailer for our upcoming GNCA video in the UK, talk about Valve’s Steam Machine (and Frame) updates and pricing challenges, a CPU supply crunch in China, and Notepad++ intercepted updates. The NVIDIA RTX 50 Super series and RTX 60 series are also rumored to be further delayed to accommodate AI production. In pure hardware news, Fractal’s Momentum and ASRock’s X3D response also land in the update.”

From their description.

RAM shortages will affect Steam products. A site hosting Notepad++ was compromised causing the update process to install a backdoor in some installations. RAM prices have gone up. GPU prices have gone up. Raw materials prices have gone up (gold, silver, copper, tin) which will have a knock on effect.

I can’t remember if there was anything else but basically no good news.
