AMD has removed Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from its consumer Ryzen CPUs without warning, a feature previously available on lower-end chips. The company now states TSME is exclusive to PRO CPUs, leaving users questioning if it's a deliberate policy or a firmware bug.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger stated that AI agents are increasing demand for CPUs, with many CEOs personally contacting him for supply. This shift comes as AI applications move from model training to inference and task management, highlighting the CPU's role in AI agent operations.
Intel's new Arc G3 Extreme chip for handheld gaming PCs shows significant performance and battery life improvements over AMD competitors. The MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus, featuring this chip, offers up to 60-73 fps in demanding games at 1200p and can last up to 12 hours on a charge. Despite a high target price of $1,500, the chip's efficiency marks a potential leap for portable gaming.
Intel announced its new "Xeon 6+" CPU line for data centers, edge, and communication infrastructure at Computex Taipei 2026. The new processors utilize Intel 18A process technology and offer up to 2.5x performance improvement over the previous generation.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a new $200 billion total addressable market (TAM) for the company's Vera CPU, designed for agentic AI. Despite market anxieties, Huang's track record and promising sales figures for Vera, which has already sold $20 billion standalone this year, suggest Nvidia's continued dominance.
Intel's Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor is currently available for $279.99 at Amazon, an all-time low. The CPU, which competes with AMD's Ryzen 9000-series, also includes a promotional offer for a free copy of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight until July 31st.
Chinese chip designer Loongson Technology has shipped more than 1 million units of its flagship desktop processor, marking a milestone for China’s efforts to build a self-sufficient semiconductor industry and move domestic central processing units (CPUs) beyond basic usability towards broader commercial adoption. The 3A6000 processor, designed for desktop computers, was built on Loongson’s self-developed LoongArch instruction set architecture, proprietary IP cores, and domestic manufacturing...
Arm chief Rene Haas said he was "confident" the company would be able to secure additional supply of its new CPUs.
Höhere Abgaben pro Prozessor und insgesamt mehr ARM-CPUs erhöhen ARMs Umsatz. Smartphones spielen kaum noch eine Rolle.

China has unveiled a new supercomputer built from entirely home-grown CPUs, with the aim of beating the world’s fastest machine while sidestepping US export controls. Known as Lingsheng or LineShine, it is designed to reach 2 exaflops – or two quintillion calculations per second – edging past the 1.8-exaflop El Capitan, the current record holder at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Unlike other exascale supercomputers, which rely on graphics processing units (GPUs),...

Qualcomm bringt mit der Snapdragon X2-Serie eine neue Generation von ARM-Prozessoren auf den Markt. Ein erster Test des Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x zeigt Leistungssteigerungen durch Oryon v3-Kerne und TSMC-N3-Fertigung, die x86-Konkurrenten bei der Single-Core-Performance übertreffen.
Meta has signed a deal to use millions of AWS Graviton ARM-based CPUs for its AI needs, Amazon announced Friday. The timing coincided with the Google Cloud Next conference wrap-up. The deal brings Meta's spending back to AWS after the company signed a $10 billion, six-year deal with Google Cloud last August. AWS Graviton CPUs compete with Nvidia's Vera CPU for AI agentic workloads, as inference and real-time reasoning tasks increasingly drive chip demand.
AMD bringt mit dem Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 den krönenden Abschluss der Ryzen-9000-Serie. Der 16-Kerner kombiniert erstmals 192 MByte L3-Cache mit hohen Taktraten und vereint damit die Stärken von 9950X, 9950X3D und 9850X3D in einem Chip. Das c't-Testlabor hat geprüft, ob sich der hohe Aufpreis lohnt.
Framework präsentiert den Laptop 13 Pro mit deutlich verbesserter Akkulaufzeit von bis zu 20 Stunden bei 4K-Streaming. Das Gerät nutzt Intels Core Ultra 300 (Panther Lake), wechselt auf LPCAMM2-Speicher und bietet ein Custom-LTPS-Display mit VRR. Preise beginnen bei 1199 US-Dollar (DIY) bzw. 1499 US-Dollar (komplett), Auslieferung ab Juni 2026.
Laptop includes Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs, a bigger battery, and a touchscreen.
Für den selben Steckplatz und kompatibel zu bisherigen DIMMs: Für Intel-CPUs soll es bald billigere Speichermodule geben. Fraglich ist die Leistung.
For the first time in a while, the benefits of new Intel tech will trickle down.
