Following its well-received family of Strix Halo APUs, AMD will refresh its high-end gaming APU lineup with Gorgon Halo, bringing it up to date with the recently announced Gorgon Point, aka Ryzen AI Max 400, series. The real fun may arrive after that, though, as the true next-gen upgrade will come in the form of “Medusa Halo” sometime in 2027-28.

Samsung was quick to respond this morning when speculators rapidly spread reports of an unprecedented 80% price hike on its entire memory product line. Taiwanese newspaper United Daily News reports that both Samsung and a number of memory module manufacturing partners are claiming that the 80% number is a total fabrication.

As we inch closer to CES 2026 next month, the rumor mill surrounding Intel’s upcoming Arrow Lake refresh churns intensely. Just a few days ago, we covered the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus appearing on Geekbench for the first time, and now that same chip, alongside the rumored flagship Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, has been spotted at a retailer. Obligatory grain-of-salt disclaimer aside, these listings don’t reveal much anyway.

AMD has just revealed an updated Zen roadmap for its CPUs at Financial Analyst Day, labeled “Leadership CPU Core Roadmap.” While it doesn’t delve into details — or even show any new ones — we do get explicit confirmations for a bunch of previously-rumored (albeit obvious) tech. AMD also made Zen 7 official for the first time in a roadmap, teasing a release date beyond 2026. Let’s break it all down.

SOCAMM2 is on track to become the definitive version of the SOCAMM standard very soon. JEDEC has announced that SOCAMM2’s design is nearing completion and will take advantage of the same LPDDR5X memory type as its predecessor. Two upgrades will be added to SOCAMM2: an SPD profile (what most might refer to as a “JEDEC profile”) and improved LPDDR5X transfer rates of up to 9600 MT/s.

It appears that Intel is experiencing a sense of nostalgia, as the chipmaker (via momomo_us) has introduced the Core i5-110 processor, based on Comet Lake. Comet Lake is a stroll down memory lane for many of us, as these 14nm+++ chips were introduced around half a...

In a quiet Cornell University lab, researchers have taken a hammer to decades of digital circuit convention. The result is a silicon chip that thinks less like a clock-driven processor and more like a living brain—only instead of neurons, it uses controlled bursts of...

As AMD’s 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX approaches its launch, unofficial benchmark results have been posted to the Geekbench database, revealing some details about its performance. While the CPU clearly shines in AMD-conducted benchmarks showing its potential for professional workstation workloads, when it comes to the drag race-style Geekbench benchmark, it is not all that clear-cut.

Micron has begun sampling of its first LPDDR5X memory devices produced using its new 1γ (1-gamma) fabrication process that uses EUV lithography with customers, the company announced at its conference call with investors and financial analysts this week. The new...

You won’t typically find a Hygon processor among the list of best CPUs for gaming or other applications. Nevertheless, Hygon stands as one of China’s most important fabless semiconductor companies. Hardware investigator HXL recently shared an ambitious roadmap detailing Hygon’s forthcoming initiatives, including a flagship 128-core, 512-thread processor.
