HRL Laboratories published a quantum computing milestone in Nature today: a quantum processor that runs itself. Quantum computers normally depend on racks of external electronics to generate every control signal. HRL replaced those racks with a custom control chip that sits near the qubits, in the extreme cold. The combined system autonomously ran error correction, an essential routine for any future quantum computer.

HRL's approach addresses a central obstacle for all quantum computing platforms: how to control the enormous number of qubits that a useful machine will require without an

GlobalFoundries announced today that the United States Government, under the administration of Donald J. Trump, has signed a letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce to advance next-generation silicon photonics technologies. Notably, GlobalFoundries will receive $300 million from the CHIPS Act fund, while the U.S. Government will acquire approximately a 1% equity stake in the company. As some may recall, GlobalFoundries ceased its efforts in leading-edge node research, development, and manufacturing just as the

AMD quietly announcedits latest entry-level RDNA 4 GPU, the Radeon RX 9050. The GPU is available in 4 GB and 8 GB editions; however, only the 8 GB edition will be sold as a standalone, discrete graphics card, while the 4 GB edition is exclusive to OEMs. According to Wccftech's Hassan Mujtaba, AMD confirmed that the 4 GB version exists, but it is intended solely for OEMs and system integrators to include in their low-end PC configurations. For gamers,

It's no secret that Pragmata was a success, with the game selling over 1 million units on launch dayand a reported 2.5 million total sales. As reported by Bloomberg, Capcom Corporate Officer, Yoshikazu Shimauchi, said that Pragmata's performance exceeded the company's internal expectations, adding that the likelihood of a sequel is high.

In recent years, community-supported work on components like drivers and kernel improvements have made Linux distributions like SteamOS especially viable as gaming operating systems. Now, a new set of driver patches has been shared to the Linux kernel mailing list, and the developer behind the patches, David Vernet, claims to have improved 1% lows on AMD CPUs by as much as 31%. The new patches, which introduce the epp_boost feature to the AMD P-State driver, aim to improve CPU performance by improving
