Intel is announcing a family of cheaper Panther Lake laptop processors called the Core Series 3 line. They’re built on the same Intel 18A process as the higher-end Core Ultra Series 3 family of chips, but they have less of just about everything spec-wise. The Core Series 3 (non-Ultra) line encompasses six different chips, with […]
While browsing our website a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon “How and When the Memory Chip Shortage Will End” by Senior Editor Samuel K. Moore. His analysis focuses on the current DRAM shortage caused by AI hyperscalers’ ravenous appetite for memory, a…
The startup, which is planning to go public later this year, designs chips specifically for AI inference, another challenger to Nvidia’s dominance.
Intel has a pair of new flagship CPUs coming to a variety of pricey gaming laptops: the Core Ultra 9 290 HX Plus and Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus. The Arrow Lake Refresh chips sport 24 cores / 24 threads and 20 cores / 20 threads, respectively. Like Intel’s recently announced desktop CPUs, the new […]
Like it or not, more AI wearables may be on the horizon – or at least Qualcomm seems to think so. Today the company announced its new Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. At a press briefing, Qualcomm said it considers the Elite to be a “wrist plus” chip. Meaning, it won’t replace the previous W5 Plus, […]
In January, Qualcomm hinted to The Verge that it might finally bring its powerful Arm-based Snapdragon processors to Windows gaming handhelds at the 2026 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco – just in time to challenge Nvidia’s own first Arm gaming CPU and Intel’s first dedicated handheld gaming chips. But plans have shifted, Qualcomm now […]
“The demand for tokens in the world has gone completely exponential,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said about the company’s earnings.
Silent silicon defects may cause modern CPUs and GPUs to produce incorrect results without crashing, raising concerns about data integrity in large-scale computing systems.
The post Silent chip defects may be corrupting data in modern computers appeare…
Intel’s been talking the talk for months about its new generation of laptop chips, the first made on its long-anticipated 18A process. 18A is meant to steer Intel back toward bluer waters by making its chips better, and, if possible, attracting chip designers like Qualcomm and Nvidia to use Intel’s foundries, not just its rival […]
