DisplayPort 2.1 Gains Momentum as GPU โคMemory Shortage Threatens Nvidia, AMD Production; Gemini 3 Looms
PARIS – Amidst a growing โmemory shortage impacting graphics card production, the adoption of DisplayPort 2.1 is gaining traction as aโ potential solution for future display connectivity, while Google’s anticipated Gemini 3 AI model further exacerbates demand for high-bandwidth memory. Industry giants โNvidia,AMD,and Asus are reportedly slowing โproduction of โฃgraphics cards due to soaring prices of DDR5 and HBM โmemory,perhaps delaying or cancelling upcoming releases like โขthe โขRTX 50 Super and driving up PC costs by an estimated โฌ80 by 2026,accordingโฃ to frandroid.
The memory crunch stems from the explosive demand fueled by the rapid โdevelopment of artificial intelligence, consuming available production capacity.this situation arrives as the tech world โคanticipates the release of Google’s Gemini 3, a next-generation AI โmodel expected to require significant memoryโ resources.
Meanwhile, the gamingโค communityโฃ is debating the definitionโ of “indie” following the 12 Game Awards 2025 nominations received by Chiaroscuro: Expeditionโค 33, developed by Sandfall Interactive. โDespiteโ a large budget and prominent cast, the game’sโ inclusion in indie categories has sparked controversy.
Adding to the technological landscape, theโข Chinese company Ubtech โunveiled its Walker S2 humanoid robot, capable of autonomous battery replacement and equipped โฃwith its BrainNet 2.0 AI, โraising both fascination and concerns about the future of robotics and automation.
