High-end graphics card prices are reaching unprecedented levels, with one listing for the Asus ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce RTX 5090 spotted at a staggering $7,499. While that specific listing comes from a third-party seller, it highlights a broader trend: most Nvidia RTX 5090 cards are now selling in the $3,800 to $4,000 range—roughly double what many expected at launch. Just a year ago, prices around $2,400 for RTX 50-series GPUs were considered excessive. Since then, the market has escalated dramatically, with data from PCPartPicker showing average RTX 5090 prices climbing from around $2,000 in early 2025 to roughly $4,000 today.…

The PC graphics-card market is becoming increasingly one-sided, with Nvidia now controlling more than 90 percent of the discrete GPU segment. According to new data from Jon Peddie Research covering the fourth quarter of 2025, Nvidia’s share of the add-in graphics card market has surged while competitors struggle to keep pace.

GPU shipments rise but demand shifts The report shows that total add-in card shipments grew by 36 percent year-over-year. However, shipments declined 11.5 percent compared to the third quarter of 2025—a…
Google has quietly introduced a new command-line tool designed to make its productivity apps easier to connect with AI agents and automation tools. The newly published Google Workspace CLI, released on GitHub, enables developers to link AI agents directly to services such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs within the broader Google Workspace ecosystem. The documentation even includes instructions for integrating the tool with OpenClaw, a fast-growing open-source AI assistant platform. That integration would allow AI agents to access emails, documents, and files directly from Workspace services. Preparing Google apps for AI agents AI tools have already been able…
OpenAI has released GPT-5.4, a new flagship AI model that moves beyond simple chat responses and into real computer control.

A Windows version of Codex was recently introduced, allowing developers to run the AI model directly within coding workflows. AI that can act, not just answer The most notable feature of GPT-5.4 is its ability to interact with a computer through AI agent systems. Instead of simply explaining how to complete a task, the model can trigger actions such as…

More than 350 cybersecurity experts from 30 countries have signed an open letter warning about the risks of implementing broad online age verification systems without sufficient safeguards. The letter follows controversy surrounding age verification requirements on platforms such as Discord. While the signatories acknowledge the need to protect children from harmful online content, they caution that poorly designed regulations could create new privacy and security risks. “We share the concerns about the negative effects that exposure to harmful content online has on children,” the letter states. “However, we fear that, if implemented without careful consideration of the technological hazards and…
Affordable computers could soon become much harder to find. According to research firm Gartner, surging memory prices may significantly raise PC costs in the short term—and could ultimately push entry-level PCs out of the market by 2028. The primary driver behind the spike is the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure. Data centers building out AI capabilities are consuming vast amounts of DRAM and SSD storage, leaving reduced supply for consumer hardware manufacturers. Gartner expects prices for DRAM and SSD components to rise by roughly 130 percent by the end of 2026. As a result, average PC prices could increase by…
