Aside from the AMD GPU price changes, major topics for the day include a brief glimpse into our Ryzen 3000 & Navi review process, moving on quickly to news topics for the week. A power outage in Japan saw the suspension of NAND production and loss of significant quantities of silicon product, affecting Western Digital and Toshiba. AMD, meanwhile, filed for ray tracing technology patents and Peltier cooling patents relating to 3D memory stacking. In other news, game consoles will dodge increased prices caused by tariffs, Samsung might manufacture NVIDIA's 7nm GPUs, and PCIe 4.0 SSDs are starting to appear. Oh, and finally, Silicon Lottery will be binning AMD Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X CPUs for higher overclocks.
