Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

New benchmarks of Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K CPU have leaked out and showcase strong single and multi-threaded performance versus AMD's AM5 chips. Intel Core Ultra 7 265K Up To 10% Faster In Multi-Threading Versus Core i7-14700K, Reaches 14900K Single-Core Performance It looks like the previous Intel Core Ultra 7 265K benchmarks that we got to see a few days ago had some issues as new ones have now leaked out within the same CPU-z benchmark and report much higher performance figures. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF will be the second fastest Arrow Lake CPU within the Core Ultra […]
Intel has announced that it is ending its 20A production plan and shifting to 18A instead while Arrow Lake will use external nodes. Intel 20A Ends As 18A Node Takes Over, Arrow Lake Shifted To External Foundries But Packaged At Intel Foundry Press Release: Since releasing the Intel 18A Process Design Kit (PDK) 1.0 in July, we have seen positive responses across our ecosystem and are encouraged by what we’re seeing from Intel 18A in the fab. It’s powered on and booting on operating systems, healthy, and yielding well – and we remain on track for launch in 2025. One […]
Chip manufacturer Intel Corpration's contract manufacturing plans have apparently been dealt with a setback as wafer tests run by Broadcom's analysts have failed to yield satisfactory results, according to sources quoted by Reuters. These tests covered Intel's leading edge semiconductor technology, 18A, and after Intel shipped its customer the wafers last month, Broadloom's tests concluded that the process technology was not ready to move to high volume production. Semiconductor production takes place in phases, with high volume production being one of the final stages after chip manufacturers have fine tuned their equipment before feeling comfortable to risk thousands of wafers […]
Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon X Elite to finally usher in a lineup of portable computers that could be viewed as an alternative to Apple Silicon MacBooks by delivering incredible performance and touting unrivaled power efficiency. Unfortunately, Intel made darn sure to halt that progress by announcing its newest Core Ultra 200V lineup of processors. In the latest gaming performance comparison slide, it is shown that the Snapdragon X Elite’s Adreno 741 GPU not only consumes 86 percent more power compared to its latest rival’s offerings but even AMD’s HX 370 is proven to be a better choice in this test. […]
Intel's 14th & 13th Gen RMA requests are mounting up after several users have started replacing their degraded CPUs with new chips but the blue team is unable to provide a timely solution due to stock availability issues. Intel Suggests 4-5 Waiting Time For A Replacement of 14th & 13th Gen CPU RMA Requests In a customer support email by Intel responding to a Core i9-13900K RMA request made by Reddit user, Towel4, it looks like the company might be having trouble allocating enough units for RMA's. All I’ve read about is how easy the Intel RMA is, and how […]

Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K "Arrow Lake" CPU has been pictured and we also get to see a brand new benchmark leak within the CPU-z test. Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K "Arrow Lake" CPU Shows Little Performance Gains In CPU-z Benchmark Leak The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF will be the second fastest Arrow Lake CPU within the Core Ultra 200K Desktop lineup. The chip will feature 20 cores, 20 threads, a base clock of 3.9 GHz, and boost clocks of up to 5.50 GHz. It will also carry 33 MB of L3 cache and feature a 125W (PL1) TDP. […]
A new beast is born at Intel in the form of Lunar Lake CPUs, powering the Core Ultra 200V lineup on thin & light platforms and bringing CPU, GPU, and AI leadership with leading performance, and efficiency versus Qualcomm and AMD offerings. Intel Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" CPUs Bring A Historical Leap To Thin & Light Platforms, Brand New CPU, GPU, AI Cores With Leadership Performance & Efficiency In our deep dive back at Computex 2024, we detailed the chip itself and its newest Xe2 GPU, both of which are major upgrades over Meteor Lake. Today, Intel is officially […]
These days, it is fairly simple to predict Intel's stock price trajectory: the stock is down on an otherwise up day, and it is down on a generally red day. This chronic underperformance, which has seen Intel shares sink around 60 percent so far this year, is now likely to deprive the stock from a key source of passive inflows: the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index. To wit, Reuters is now reporting that Intel is likely to get booted off the Dow Jones index. Bear in mind that the DJIA rebalances quarterly, when stocks are added or removed systematically […]
