gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-28 20:15:00

China, which used to be one of Nvidia’s largest markets, seems largely conflicted about reaccepting Nvidia’s lower-tech H20 chips that Trump administration finally allowed to resume sales of in July. The Chinese tech industry might be excited about the Nvidia chip flow resuming, but the government is allegedly not. Chinese authorities have discouraged local tech companies from purchasing Nvidia chips citing national security concerns, and even questioned industry

Exploding Primordial Black Holes Could ‘Rewrite the History of the Universe’

It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole theories. Yesterday, LIGO confirmed the famed physicist’s prediction about black hole mergers. Now, another team believes they’ve found a way to observe primordial black holes—cosmic behemoths that emerged not from the ashes of dying stars but from the chaos of the early universe.

The Evolution of Shaders

Nvidia launched the first GPU in 1999 with the GeForce 256, pioneering hardware T&L. In 2001, the GeForce 3 introduced programmable shaders, marking the shader era. Over 24 years, GPUs advanced massively, from 57 million transistors in NV20 to 92 billion in Blackwell (B100). Shader counts exploded—from 16 in 2007 to over 21,000 in 2025. Unified shaders appeared in 2007, and AI-focused Tensor Cores began in 2017. Despite huge performance gains, GPU prices rose modestly: a high-end card cost $800
