Nvidia’s next-generation Rubin GPUs could end up shipping later and in lower volumes than expected due to supply chain issues, TrendForce warned on Wednesday. Industry observers now expect Rubin to account for 22% of Nvidia’s high-end GPU shipments in 2026, down from their previous forecast, which pegged the mix at 29%. TrendForce cited the time needed to validate the new HBM4 memory used by the chips, challenges with migrating to Nvidia’s faster ConnectX-9 network cards, higher overall system power consumption and more advanced liquid cooling requirements as contributing to the delays.

A small slope on the side gave this illusion of the phone’s contents running (literally) edge to edge. However, the design and added risk of damage, as well as the cost of the Galaxy Edge line, have scared away buyers. By October 2025, the fad appeared to have run its course, with South Korean media outlet NewsPim reporting that Samsung planned to discontinue the line. The move appears to be due…

Samsung is reportedly developing a holographic smartphone display that could be used in a “space iPhone.” The claims come from the leaker known as “Schrödinger” on X, who shared screenshots of messages with an anonymous insider allegedly familiar with the project.

Codenamed “MH1” or “H1,” the rumored display differs from…
