Intel's CPU roadmap is unlike any the company has published in recent years, because its manufacturing ambitions and its product launches have to succeed simultaneously.

While the result doesn't mean much due to this being early silicon running at low clocks, it proves that AMD has Zen 6 consumer CPUs up and running.

GTC 2026 promises a peek at what's next for AI technology and what Nvidia has in store for the year ahead.

"This year is the most severe year since the company was founded," MSI told investors.

Asus launched this motherboard at $310 in late 2024, and since then its MSRP has gone down to $280, but you can score it for 40% less than that on Amazon right now. For that price, nothing really comes close in terms of performance, features, and reliability.

A Tennessee grandmother spent nearly six months in jail after police in Fargo, North Dakota, used facial recognition software to identify her as the primary suspect in a bank fraud case.

A new LLVM patch has added V_FMA_F32, a 3-operand fused multiply-add (FMA instruction and introduced the VOPD3 instruction format for RDNA 5. Both of these changes should make it easier for compilers to use dual issue execution, working around the strict pairing rules that would otherwise limit max FP32 throughput in certain workloads.

The prolonged uncertainty is generating internal unrest, according to an ASML spokesperson who spoke to Dutch broadcaster Omroep Brabant.

A member of the Save Myrient community has announced that the colossal video games archive has been 100% backed up!"

Meanwhile, the older 7G105 GPU name no longer appears on the site; all four cards now sit under the LX product branding.

DirectorFeng, an expert technician in China has just performed what is likely the first hardware mod of its kind on the new MacBook Neo. He has birthed the world's only MacBook Neo with a terabyte of storage by physically changing the NAND chip on the logic board. Whether this mod is worth the price given the Neo's target audience, well, that's for you to decide.

A motherboard that can accept both DDR4 and DDR5 memory can be the difference between you being able to build a new PC or putting it off till the shortage is over. ASRock's new H610M Combo II is otherwise pretty barebones, not even featuring PCIe 4.0 storage, but it does have enough to get you by before things settle down.

An ex-Hitachi, ex-Sega, and ex-Sony engineer has confirmed that he proposed and developed a Saturn graphics accelerator, codenamed TRIP, based on Hitachi's SH3 processor.

Images representing the contents can clearly be seen when studying the surface of a CED LaserDisc' under a microscope.

A developer has rebuilt the classic Gradius arcade game from the ground up, using ASCII.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is down to an all-time low price, making it a more enticing option than the slightly more performant but also much more expensive Ryzen 7 9850X3D.

A Redditor only paid $86.98 for a Ryzen 5 7600X, a Gigabyte B850 Eagle motherboard, and a 32GB DDR5-6000 Corsair Vengeance RGB kit from Newegg. The CPU even included a free 240mm Cooler Master AIO worth $85 on its own. All these parts would typically cost $1,012, but this customer scored a combo deal for the ages.

The technique exploits Unicode Private Use Area characters, which render as zero-width whitespace in virtually every code editor and terminal.

The B850 Tomahawk Max Wifii II refines the popular budget AM5 board with additional M.2 storage, an OC Engine chip, a 64MB BIOS, a minor facelift, and a small price increase.

David Randolph brings 10 years of manufacturing experience to the chocolate printer startup, Cocoa Press.

The case builds on the standard Flux Pro design with enhanced cooling hardware, mesh airflow panels, support for large radiators, and Noctua's well-known brown color scheme.

Manufacturers have said that prices for key chipmaking metals have doubled, and gallium has climbed sharply, as disruptions from the ongoing Middle East conflict pile onto supply constraints.

A tech enthusiast has shared their DVD rewritable durability findings, following six months of testing.

Ukraine has sent drone interceptors and training crews to the U.S. and its Gulf State allies as the Iran War rumbles on.

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. And the current-gen Blackwell family is apparently already 100,000x better due to dedicated Tensor and RT cores.

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.

Meta is delaying work on the Pearls section of its Africa2 network after its contracted cable-layer, Alcatel Submarine Networks, declared force majeure due to the risk of getting hit during the Iran conflict.
