Ok, here are some hardware news. Let's start with the bad ones:
AMD Discovers New Vulnerabilities Affecting Zen 1, 2, 3, 4 CPUs, BIOS Mitigations Released

>>Intel also has taken care of them.
ASML High-NA EUV Twinscan EXE Machines Cost $380 Million, 10-20 Units Already Booked
https://www.techpowerup.com/319071/asml-high-na-euv-twinscan-exe-machines-cost-usd-380-million-10-20-units-already-booked
ASML has revealed that its cutting-edge High-NA extreme ultraviolet (EUV) chipmaking tools, called High-NA Twinscan EXE, will cost around $380 million each—over twice as much as its existing Low-NA EUV lithography systems that cost about $183 million. The company has taken 10-20 initial orders from the likes of Intel and SK Hynix and plans to manufacture 20 High-NA systems annually by 2028 to meet demand. The High-NA EUV technology represents a major breakthrough, enabling an improved 8 nm imprint resolution compared to 13 nm with current Low-NA EUV tools. This allows chipmakers to produce transistors that are nearly 1.7 times smaller, translating to a threefold increase in transistor density on chips. Attaining this level of precision is critical for manufacturing sub-3 nm chips, an industry goal for 2025-2026. It also eliminates the need for complex double patterning techniques required presently.
>>Expect CPU/GPU prices to go up accordingly.
