Microsoft says "monitors can now report refresh rates higher than 1000 Hz" in the patch notes for its latest Windows 11 Insider builds. These updates are part of the Release Preview channel, which means they're very close to final, public release. On the other hand, Nvidia has also pushed the first update for its G-Sync Pulsar displays.

AMD, Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom, and Meta have formed an Optical Compute Interconnect Multi-Source Agreement (OCI MSA) to develop a standardized optical interconnect for AI data centers, with the aspiration to build a PHY capable of handling speeds of up to 3.2 Tb/s.

At GDC 2026, Nvidia held a presentation somehow aimed at gamers and not data center clients. Still, it was sprinkled with AI pat-on-the-backs, with the company touting that its future gaming GPUs will offer 1,000,000 better path tracing performance.

The Creality Sermoon P1 is a standalone 3D scanner that allows users to go through the entire scanning workflow without having to touch a computer. The 22 crossed laser line mode is surprisingly fast, and the single laser line mode was able to scan deep holes during testing. The NIR (near-infrared) mode is capable of scanning without requiring any markers, and the on-device editing allows users to make on-location edits without needing to stop. The Sermoon P1 handled everything we threw at it, but the color texture was the only disappointing part of the testing.
