DisplayPort 2.1 Gains Momentum as GPU Memory Shortage Threatens Nvidia, AMD Production; Gemini 3 Looms
PARIS – Amidst a growing memory shortage impacting graphics card production, the adoption of DisplayPort 2.1 is gaining traction as a potential solution for future display connectivity, while Google’s anticipated Gemini 3 AI model further exacerbates demand for high-bandwidth memory. Industry giants Nvidia,AMD,and Asus are reportedly slowing production of graphics cards due to soaring prices of DDR5 and HBM memory,perhaps delaying or cancelling upcoming releases like the RTX 50 Super and driving up PC costs by an estimated €80 by 2026,according to frandroid.
The memory crunch stems from the explosive demand fueled by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, consuming available production capacity.this situation arrives as the tech world anticipates the release of Google’s Gemini 3, a next-generation AI model expected to require significant memory resources.
Meanwhile, the gaming community is debating the definition of “indie” following the 12 Game Awards 2025 nominations received by Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33, developed by Sandfall Interactive. Despite a large budget and prominent cast, the game’s inclusion in indie categories has sparked controversy.
Adding to the technological landscape, the Chinese company Ubtech unveiled its Walker S2 humanoid robot, capable of autonomous battery replacement and equipped with its BrainNet 2.0 AI, raising both fascination and concerns about the future of robotics and automation.
