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 […]

Arkane Studios founder Raphaël Colantonio was recently interviewed by PC Gamer and had the chance to share his own thoughts on a couple of topics, starting with the closure of the Austin office. As you'll most certainly remember, Microsoft decided to shut down the studio's US branch (alongside Tango Gameworks) earlier this year, largely due to the failure of Redfall. Unsurprisingly, Colantonio wasn't a fan of the choice, calling it 'stupid': I think if you look a little bit, it's obvious that Arkane Austin was a very special group of people that have made some cool things and that could […]
Super Micro Computer (SMCI), a retailer of high-performance servers and liquid-cooled AI racks, has effectively transitioned from a darling of the market and an emblem of the ongoing AI gold rush to a veritable pariah, all in a matter of just a few short weeks. Yet, the company's travails might still have further room to grow, if its latest debt covenant change is anything to go by. To wit, Super Micro Computer has now announced three major changes to its existing loan agreement with Cathay Bank: An extension in the date by which the audited financial statements for FY 2024 […]

Apple released iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence last week for all compatible iPhone models, but the update still feels short of a few features. While Apple has introduced its highly anticipated AI features to the mix, the platform still feels a bit empty, and to tackle this situation, the company could be working to release the iOS 18.2 update a bit earlier than expected. Analyst claims Apple will release iOS 18.2 in the first week of December, as the company desperately wants Apple Intelligence features to make a difference iOS 18.2 will be a significant update, considering the number of […]
Intel's financial troubles have started bothering the US Commerce Department, which is now reportedly exploring options for recovery, including a potential merger. Intel's Too Important For The US's Semiconductor Ambitions, Administration Now Focused Upon An Economic Revival Intel's chip business is a key element in the US's ambitions to be self-sustaining in semiconductor production, given that Team Blue is the only US-based firm with "mature" processes and facilities. However, with Intel's financial conditions going downhill the past few months, this has created enormous concerns for the administration, and now, apart from financial injections, they are looking towards a solid solution […]
Apple is officially done with launching its trio of M4 chipsets, which includes the top-end M4 Max, and it is an exceptional performer. Just recently, it became the fastest CPU in Geekbench 6’s single-core tests, and extended the lead against Intel’s heavy-hitting 24-core Ultra 9 285K and AMD’s blazing-fast Ryzen 9 9950X by a decent margin in the multi-core score. If you thought this would be the end of the lineup, think again because Apple has yet to unveil the M4 Ultra, which is scheduled to arrive in an updated Mac Pro next year. While discussing the Cupertino behemoth’s position in […]
NVIDIA retains its hold of the GPU market while the competing products from AMD & Intel are on a decline in major DIY markets. NVIDIA's Mainstream GPUs Still The Most Popular Choice Among Gamers on Steam, AMD & Intel Nowhere Close NVIDIA and AMD are about to introduce their new GPUs in a month or two, while the existing GPU market seems to be in favor of NVIDIA, at least as per the Steam Survey. Both are the biggest GPU manufacturers in the PC hardware industry, but NVIDIA is able to keep its hold in various parts of the world […]
As production of the first-generation Apple Vision Pro is set to end by the end of the year, it hints that the company will pool its resources towards an affordable mixed-reality headset, which has been reported to launch sometime in 2025. However, it is entirely possible that there is a long waiting time for the less pricey headset because an analyst predicts that production has been delayed well beyond 2027. There are various reasons why this would happen, but for now, the next Apple Vision Pro slated to replace the current one will be its direct successor and is said […]
The first PlayStation 5 Pro teardown video was shared online today, providing a better look at the new console launching in a few days worldwide. The video, which was shared on YouTube by Brazilian channel TAG, provides a good look at the console's internal components, cooling solution and more, and it is a very interesting watch even for those who don't speak Portuguese and want to see how much the console differs from the base model. As confirmed in the teardown video above, the PlayStation 5 Pro features a major repairability improvement that grants easy access to the system's CMOS […]
Samsung's ambitions of supplying HBM products to NVIDIA aren't over yet, as the firm announced that their 5th-gen HBM3E memory is slated to be used in NVIDIA's flagship AI accelerators. Samsung's Hopes For HBM Adoption Are Pretty Much Alive, As The Korean Giant Reveals HBM3E Supply To NVIDIA In Q4 The Korean giant was hit with a massive "business shock" when it was revealed that the firm has been unable to secure NVIDIA as an HBM customer, citing that the process has been delayed indefinitely, which created the assumption that Samsung has failed to establish its presence in NVIDIA's supply […]
While the PS5 Pro isn't officially out until November 7, some people have started getting their hands on Sony's revised PlayStation 5 console. An unboxing video was posted a couple of days ago and quickly taken down; now, Brazilian content creator Brunno Fast has also managed to secure a console and subsequently shared the full spec sheet document included in the box. By far the biggest surprise is that Sony added 2GB of DDR 5 RAM. These are likely to be reserved for the OS so that game developers can fully utilize the 16 GB of GDDR6 for the actual […]
