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 […]

NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs are going to be the fastest AI chips the world has ever seen when they become available and also the most expensive yet. NVIDIA's Blackwell B100 AI GPUs Estimated Around $30K-$40K Per Piece, Server Costs In The Millions! NVIDIA's Blackwell products which include GPUs, Superchip platforms, and servers are desired by every big tech firm who are into the AI hype, and it's no surprise that this particular architecture will generate revenue much larger than that of the Hopper lineup. We now have an estimate that has disclosed the expected pricing for the upcoming components. According to […]
With the weekend heading close, a fresh report from Reuters claims that Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence startup OpenAI is preparing to challenge Alphabet's Google in the search engine industry. Google, now known globally for its video streaming and productivity platforms in addition to its bread and butter search engine, rose to prominence after having developed one of the first search engines to catalog internet web pages. Since then, it has become the world's most widely used search engine and has seen business deals challenged in historic lawsuits. OpenAI Purportedly Gears Up To Challenge Google In Web Page Search Industry According to […]
NVIDIA's AIB partner, Manli, has rejected a customer's RMA request for their burnt GeForce RTX 4090 GPU & blamed user error as the cause. Manli Rejects RMA For "Melted" NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, Says Its Caused By User We are well aware of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU burning fiasco that emerged with the 12VHPWR connector. The troublesome experiences faced by consumers spread across the internet like wildfire, and to capitalize on the situation, third-party solutions, such as those from CableMod, came into the equation. Still, they, too, became victims of burning incidents. This continued for months and […]
NVIDIA is expected to mass produce its next-generation Rubin R100 GPUs with HBM4 memory on the TSMC 3nm node by Q4 2025. NVIDIA's Next-Gen Rubin R100 GPUs To Focus On Power Efficiency While Increasing AI Performance, To Use HBM4 Memory & TSMC 3nm Node The new information comes from TF International Securities analyst, Mich-Chi Kuo, who states that NVIDIA has laid the groundwork for its next-generation Rubin R100 GPUs named after Vera Rubin, an American astronomer who made significant contributions to the understanding of dark matter in the universe while also pioneering work on galaxy rotation rate. Kuo states that […]
AMD and Intel CPU shipments were up significantly by as much as 33% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year. Although AMD & Intel Client / Server CPU Shipments Are Down This Quarter, They Saw A Significant Gain Versus the Previous Year Marking Stabilization In The Industry In the latest market research published by JPR (Jon Peddie Research), it is mentioned that the client CPU market reached 62 million units, an increase of 33% versus the previous year (Q1 2023) and a decrease of -9.4% vs the previous quarter (Q4 2023). The notebook CPU market remained […]
Lenovo has officially entered the MoTD "Mobile on Desktop" market with the introduction of its latest PCs powered by Intel's 14th Gen HX CPUs. Lenovo Is The First Major PC OEM To Launch MoTD "Mobile on Desktop" PCs Powered By Intel's 14th Gen HX CPUs A few weeks ago, Lenovo's China desktop product manager, WolStame (Weibo), shared that the company was planning to enter the MoTD "Mobile on Desktop" PC market. The MoTD market has seen good development over the past few years with the arrival of the high-end HX CPU platform from Intel and AMD. These chips which are […]
Intel has started requesting motherboard makers to implement its "Default Settings" for 14th & 13th Gen CPUs as BIOS defaults. Intel Motherboard & System Partners Tackle 14th & 13th Gen CPU Stability Issues By Reverting To "Intel Default Settings" So while the stability issues on the Intel 14th & 13th Gen CPUs continue to mount, motherboard makers took the first step in resolving or fixing them by implementing new BIOS profiles that set the CPUs to the default "Baseline" settings recommended by Intel. Now, Intel itself has requested motherboard makers and system vendors who are responsible for building PCs to […]
AMD's Instinct MI300A APUs deliver a substantial performance improvement in HPC workloads versus traditional discrete GPUs. Step Aside Discrete GPUs, AMD's Instinct MI300A APUs Are Going To Supercharge HPC Workloads With Up To 4x Performance The AMD Instinct MI300A is the realization of the "Exascale APU" platform that was laid out years ago. The idea was to package a high-performance GPU alongside a high-performance CPU on the same package which harnesses a unified memory pool. For HPC, these accelerators/co-processor designs provide higher performance per watt advantages but require a lot of porting, tuning, and maintaining applications with millions of lines […]
A tester at Chiphell has gone his way to find the stability rate of Intel's Core i9-14900K & 13900K CPUs as the chip manufacturer has yet to identify the root cause of the stability issues affecting these chips. Intel Core i9-14900K & Core i9-13900K CPUs End Up Poorly In Stability Tests, Poor Silicon Being Pushed Too Hard Over at Chiphell, a user by the name of kmdkai, has managed to put several hundreds of Intel Core i9-14900K and Core i9-13900K CPUs through a series of stability tests to determine just how well they respond to the "AUTO" profiles being dished […]
NVIDIA is creating a new ecosystem of "Premium" AI PCs powered by its RTX hardware which are much faster than AI-capable NPUs that are taking the industry by storm. NVIDIA's RTX Platform Is The "Premium" Choice of AI PCs & All RTX Owners Can Run GenAI & AI-Powered Workloads Way Faster Than NPUs NVIDIA is developing a suite of new ecosystems for the consumer market. We have already talked about the new "SFF Enthusiast GeForce GPU" platform which will empower manufacturers to make new compact and small form factor PCs powered by RTX GPUs but that's not all. In a […]
Well, forget chip shrinking and focus on interposer advancements. TSMC has implemented this by unveiling enormous plans for the next generation of SoW packaging. TSMC Sees Next-Gen "SoW" Chip Packaging As a Crucial Factor To Progress Into the Future, Making Chips Bigger Than Ever! Before diving into what TSMC has disclosed, let's talk about interposers. Imagine a chip in your hand. Well, it's a powerful one if you assume it. Now, if you are eager to harness more capabilities out of a single chip, instead of going the innovation route, the industry slaps multiple chips and connects them against each […]
Counterpoint Research expects massive adoptions of AI-focused PCs, with laptops and desktops taking the lead, soon. Welcome To The Era of AI PCs, Every 3 of 4 Laptops Expected To Be Equipped By Advanced AI Capabilities- [Press Release]: Personal computers (PCs) have been used as the major productivity device for several decades. But now we are entering a new era of PCs based on artificial intelligence (AI), thanks to the boom witnessed in generative AI (GenAI). We believe the inventory correction and demand weakness in the global PC market have already normalized, with the impacts from COVID-19 largely being factored in. All […]
