Nvidia\'s Kyber launch delayed by more than a year to 2028
Nvidia\'s rack-scale system Kyber is unlikely to launch by 2027, a report said. CNBC, citing SemiAnalysis, said Kyber, originally expected to ship in 2027 with the Rubin Ultra chip, has been pushed back to 2028, raising concerns about Nvidia\'s roadmap. The delay is linked to manufacturing challenges for a specific printed circuit board, including midplane issues, and could also affect the NVL576 system. Nvidia did not respond to CNBC\'s request for comment.

GPU standalone era may end as integrated design determines AI chip performance
The focus of competition in AI chips is shifting from standalone GPUs to integrated CPU-GPU designs that package processors and memory to optimise data flow. U.S.-listed CPU makers Intel and AMD have surged, reflecting rising demand for CPUs and DPUs as inference and agentic AI workloads expand. Nvidia is also pushing CPU offerings and tighter CPU-GPU integration, while memory is becoming a core component. The trend could benefit South Korean memory makers SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics.

Kyber ransomware first confirmed to use post-quantum cryptography in apparent psychological tactic
Kyber ransomware has been identified as the first confirmed case of using post-quantum cryptography, drawing attention across the security industry, analysts said. Rapid7 said its review of a Windows variant found it protected encryption keys with ML-KEM1024, while files were encrypted with AES-256. Experts said the move appears aimed at psychological pressure and marketing impact rather than operational need. Some variants also made overstated claims about using ML-KEM.
