Intel stock collapse worsens as $3.5T chip rout spreads
Intel shares fell further as a broader selloff swept the chip sector. The rout erased trillions in semiconductor market value. (finance.yahoo.com)
This repository is a technical reference kit for designing carrier boards around NVIDIA V100 SXM2 modules, with a longer-term goal of an open-source board. It organizes publicly available pin information and reverse-engineering findings into maps for all 800 contacts across connectors A and B, including signal names, supporting evidence, and electrical-treatment notes. It also provides logical NVLink connection plans for two- and four-GPU systems, specifying connector B pads, directions, lanes, and polarity. The maintainer’s role is primarily to curate and reconcile existing information, rather than claim the original reverse-engineering work.
The kit includes editable KiCad schematics for one, two, or four modules, connector symbols, visual previews, and an offline workbook and PDF sets. The two- and four-GPU schematics show data wiring only; they are not complete NVLink implementations or routed bridge designs. Each V100 also requires an external 156.25 MHz differential NVHS clock on connector B contacts E20 and F20, while a separate 100 MHz PCIe clock goes to connector A contacts E7 and F7. The material is explicitly a pre-release reference, not a hardware-qualified design: power, control, and clock circuits are absent, and manufacturing outputs and validation remain future work. Reuse is permitted under CERN-OHL-W-2.0 for original hardware contributions and CC BY-SA 4.0 for documentation, with attribution and applicable sharing obligations.

GUI64 adds a graphical desktop to the Commodore 64 while running on its built-in Kernal rather than replacing it. It supports movable windows, file management, and mouse, joystick, or keyboard control, with Windows- and Mac-inspired interfaces. (c64-wiki.com)
A homeowner bypassed a damaged Cat6 run by installing adhesive-backed “invisible” fiber between floors, avoiding both new cable fishing and unreliable wireless mesh. Media converters and bidirectional SC transceivers let the setup work with existing network gear, delivering about 300 Mbps. (momandpop.network)
BYD sold a record 305,743 battery-electric vehicles in October, exceeding the 262,500 EVs sold across the US in the entire third quarter. Total sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles reached 490,168, with exports climbing as the company expands overseas. (electrek.co)

Electric trucks accounted for 50.3% of China’s heavy-truck sales in September, with 33,100 sold despite a shrinking overall market. Battery and natural-gas trucks are helping push China’s diesel demand down by about 230,000 barrels per day this year. (electrek.co)
