ARMED FOR A FIGHT

The company that has spent 35 years licensing chip designs to basically everyone, announced it's making its own physical chip for the first time ever.

https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/899823/arm-agi-cpu-meta

Editor: Show headline only

It's called the Arm AGI CPU. It's a 136-core data center processor built on TSMC 3nm with Neoverse V3 cores, 300W TDP, 12 channels of DDR5, 96 PCIe Gen6 lanes, and CXL 3.0 support.

https://newsroom.arm.com/blog/introducing-arm-agi-cpu

Good link for images in case you don't want the video

Meta co-developed the chip and is the lead customer. It's designed to work alongside Meta's custom MTIA accelerators.

00:21 - 00:25 Memory tuned to computer and some specs

00:28 - 00:37 300 Watt TDP and then Air Cooling (5 Dual rotor fans)

00:38 - 00:49 High speed flexible i/o and engineered for rack -scale deployment

00:57 - 01:01 “Open by Design , Scaled by the ecosystem”

Arm claims you can pack over 8,000 cores into a single air-cooled rack and over 45,000 in

liquid-cooled, with 2x the performance per rack versus x86,  and up to $10 billion in capex savings per gigawatt of data center capacity.

Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia all make their OWN Arm-based chips, Arm is now selling a finished product into their data centers.

Editor: Screenshot the headline then  quote from the wired article it should be highlighted but if not

“To your question, does it piss off Nvidia? I'd imagine it will piss off Intel and AMD more than it pisses off Nvidia.”

QUICKBITS

GAMES NOT INCLUDED

Intel just launched the ARC Pro B70 which is the first card using the “Big Battlemage,” the full-fat BMG-G31 GPU that has been rumored for a year.

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/intel-arc-pro-b70-and-arc-pro-b65-gpus-bring-32gb-of-ram-to-ai-and-pro-apps-bigger-battlemage-finally-arrives-but-its-not-for-gaming

The B70 Pro comes with 32gb of GDDR6 for only $949. The B65 comes with the same vram but is set for an april launch.

Editor: Img spec containing the B50, B60 SPECS compared to the B65 and B70 that launch today.

Intel finally built the big GPU that could be great for gaming…and its workstation/AI card. However considering the RTX 4000 PRO price of USD $1,800 is nearly double and you are getting less vram 24GB, is a good deal.

WINE-ING STREAK

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level with a new feature called NTSYNC, and the performance gains are absurd. https://www.xda-developers.com/wine-11-rewrites-linux-runs-windows-games-speed-gains/

Dirt 3 went from 110 FPS to 860 FPS, a 678% improvement. Resident Evil 2 jumped from 26 to 77 FPS. Call of Juarez from 99 to 224 FPS.

https://lwn.net/Articles/960275/

Editor: Screenshot the benchmark comparison table showing before/after FPS numbers

Unlike the old fsync/esync workarounds, NTSYNC is in the mainline Linux kernel (6.14+), so any distro shipping that kernel gets it automatically,  no patches needed.

Editor: Highlighted Quote only

Users on Reddit are confirming the gains are legit.

Editor: Screenshot Reddit top comments confirming gains 1 is prob enough for the dude who tried it and saw a good performance boost.

CAN'T HAND-HELD IT

Ayaneo becomes a victim of RAM prices suspending pre-orders for it's Next 2 Windows gaming handheld due to it being "no longer sustainable.”

https://www.theverge.com/games/899357/ayaneo-windows-gaming-handheld-sustainable-ram

Production cost now approaches TWICE the selling price. The Next 2 was already $1,999 to $4,299 depending on config. https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/ayaneo/ayaneo-next-2-windows-handheld/updates/3#:~:text=At%20present,sustainable

Editor:  Highlighted quote

Storage and RAM prices skyrocketed after Chinese New Year, suppliers quoted prices "several times higher" than before the holiday. AI data center buildout eating the global memory supply is to blame. Existing orders will be honored. Suspension is "temporary."

They "may consider" resuming if prices come back down. Emphasis on "may."

LAN OF THE FREE

The FCC has banned all NEW models of foreign-made consumer routers from being approved for sale in the US, citing national security risks from the Volt, Flax, and Salt Typhoon cyberattacks. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/03/trump-fcc-prohibits-import-and-sale-of-new-wi-fi-routers-made-outside-us/

This comes after a determination made that routers produced in any foreign country pose “unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons.”

https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/NSD-Routers0326.pdf

Editor: Link to highlight wasnt working if you can get that quote otherwise just the top page

BUT VIRTUALLY EVERY CONSUMER WIFI ROUTER SOLD IN THE US IS MANUFACTURED OVERSEAS???? Even American brands like Netgear make their stuff in Vietnam and Taiwan. Google Nest is made in Vietnam and China.

https://shorturl.at/bDzNm

Editor: Screenshot the highlighted quote about American brands being made overseas.

Existing models with FCC authorization can still be sold and used, you don't need to toss your router. But new models need "Conditional Approval" from the Department of Defense or DHS. https://www.fcc.gov/faqs-recent-updates-fcc-covered-list-regarding-routers-produced-foreign-countries

The FCC didn't provide evidence that US-made routers are more secure than foreign ones. TechCrunch noted also that Salt Typhoon exploited routers made by Cisco, an American company.
