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 […]

Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability issues have tarnished the company's reputation, as they fail to address customer concerns & even RMA requests. Intel Is Now Under Hot Waters As The Firm Fails To Address Customer & Client Concerns Amid Widespread Instability Issues On 14th & 13th Gen Desktop CPUs Intel and its 14th & 13th Gen Desktop CPUs seem to have bothered consumers a lot, and the problem has gone way too far now. The fiasco has been quite long, with Intel initially being completely clueless about what's causing the issue. The company planned to release an official […]
Intel seems to be preparing a new dual-core CPU for its Raptor Lake lineup, the Intel 310, which will feature a boost clock of up to 4.1 GHz. Intel's Dual Core Makes A Return In The Form of The 310 CPU, This Time With A Slightly Higher Boost Clock Last year, Intel introduced its only dual-core chip in the Raptor Lake family, the Intel 300. The CPU was a fairly odd release, featuring just two P-Cores which is essentially a dual-core chip. The odd nature of the chip stems from the fact that it is a dual-core processor released in […]
The latest version of CPU-z has added support for Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs such as the Core Ultra 9 285K flagship.

These latest updates aren't confined to just Arrow Lake-S CPUs but also see support added for AMD's Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" CPUs, Ryzen […]
Intel's Arrow Lake-S & Arrow Lake-HX CPUs will feature a slightly different cache structure than Lunar Lake CPUs & much higher AI TOPs than Raptor Lake. Intel Arrow Lake-S & Arrow Lake-HX High-End CPUs Bring 37 AI TOPs, Up To 76 MB Combined Cache More information regarding Intel's Arrow Lake-S & Arrow Lake-HX CPUs has been shared by leaker, @Jaykihn, who now discusses the cache configuration for the high-end chips along with their latest improvements over Raptor Lake-S and Raptor Lake-HX CPUs. According to the latest data, it looks like Intel's Arrow Lake-S and Arrow Lake-HX mostly feature the same […]
AMD has surpassed Intel when it comes to the brand's recognition while NVIDIA saw the biggest growth, as revealed in a report by Kantar's BrandZ "Most Valuable Global Brands" for 2024. AMD's Brand Recognition Now Superior To Intel, Credits To The Firm's Efforts In Advancing In The AI Race While NVIDIA Listed Among The Top 10 Well, it won't be wrong to say that amid the AI hype, AMD emerged as the clear winner compared to the likes of Intel, especially in the professional sectors. The company's Instinct lineup of AI accelerators was massively popular among clients compared to Intel's […]
Intel's Arrow Lake-S engineering samples reportedly feature up to a 15% performance increase versus Raptor Lake CPUs. Intel Arrow Lake-S Early Samples Are 3% Faster In Single & 15% Faster In Multi-Core Performance at 250W We have seen some performance estimates for the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs in the past and now, @Jaykihn has shared new figures which are still based on early engineering samples, ES2 to be precise. The difference is that these are based on actual samples rather than being estimates like the ones we saw last year. Starting with the information, the Intel Arrow Lake-S "ES2" […]
Intel's Arc Battlemage "Xe2" discrete GPUs are set to deliver big performance gains, as the firm chooses TSMC's 4nm node for its lineup. Intel's Battlemage "Xe2" Discrete Arc GPUs Will Be a Big Step Up Over The Firm's Alchemist Series, Expected To Utilize TSMC 4nm Process Node Well, it looks like Team Blue isn't playing around with its upcoming GPU series. The company looks to make huge strides in the markets, competing head-to-head with NVIDIA and Intel. Not only is Intel's next-gen Xe2 GPU series expected to feature a 50% performance increase over Alchemist, but the company looks to max […]
Intel's Entry-Level "Core Ultra 3" Desktop CPUs won't be featured in the Arrow Lake-S family but rather in an existing lineup. Intel Core Ultra 3 "Core i3-Successor" Likely To Be Based on Raptor Lake-S Than Arrow Lake-S Family Architecture Based on the latest information shared by @Jaykihn, the Intel Arrow Lake-S family will not include an entry-level Core Ultra 3 SKU. We know that the lineup is expected to include Core Ultra 9, Core Ultra 7, and Core Ultra 5 SKUs under the "Core Ultra 200" banner but entry-level users might have to stick with existing architectures. With that said, […]
Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs are reportedly going to debut with the "Fast Throttle" thermal management technique, ensuring optimal performance under stress. Intel's Arrow Lake Desktop CPU Lineup To Feature Several Improvements In The Thermal Department, Fast Throttle Being One of Them For those unaware, Fast Throttle or "Per-Core Thermal Throttle" is a method that Intel employed with its Raptor Lake Refresh processors. Traditionally, when your CPUs get hot, the entire processor gets slowed down, which we call thermal throttling, as well as TJMax in the professional language (used to indicate the maximum thermal threshold of the chip). While this […]
