Memory is no longer a commodity – The industry hasn't fully caught up
Nikolaos Florous of Memphis Electronic delivered a data-heavy, at times bluntly honest overview of the global memory market at Evertiq Expo Zürich – and his central message was uncomfortable: the rules have changed, and most of the industry is still playing by the old ones.

Why EMC cannot be the “final step”. Design risks in defence electronics
In many projects, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is still treated as a final-stage verification step. In practice, this approach increasingly leads to delays, costly redesigns and errors that are difficult to eliminate — particularly in complex defence systems. As Dominik Kowalczyk, an explosion protection specialist at Dacpol, told Evertiq, EMC analysis should cover the entire lifecycle of a project — from concept to deployment. He also pointed out where signal integrity is most often lost and why the traditional approach to EMC is no longer keeping pace with growing system complexity.
Inside a modern GPU: from architecture to trillions of calculations
We often speak about the performance of modern GPUs in abstract terms — trillions of operations, ever-increasing compute power. What remains less visible is the structure that makes it possible.
Extended lead times for key components weigh on server growth
Extended lead times for key semiconductor and hardware components are increasingly shaping supply conditions in the server market, according to TrendForce.
