It has been a while since we heard anything about HLX , the project in development by Valve rumored to be Half-Life 3 which is reportedly featuring some rather advanced features . However, the project's development may not have halted at all. The contrary, actually. While Valve itself is taunting Source 2 dataminers using the engine itself, there are indications that development may have ramped up following the Steam Machine's delay , giving the development team more time to polish up the game.

A truckload of Apple products is expected to launch later this year, with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max undoubtedly picking up the highest volume, giving the company’s suppliers a tremendous opportunity to etch their name as a reliable manufacturer while raking in millions. Unfortunately, China will miss out on these deals, with Korean display makers establishing lucrative partnerships with Apple.

Despite receiving multiple chances to get its act together, BOE seemingly cannot get its production lines in order, with ETNews reporting that the Chinese

AMD's latest upscaling technology won't just be exclusive to RDNA 4 GPUs as we know, and the latest update includes Linux as well.

AMD isn't just working on bringing its latest FSR 4 branch to older GPUs, but is also working on enabling it on the Linux operating system on a previous-generation GPU family. According to the latest report, Valve's Proton Experimental branch now includes support that enables FSR 4 to run on the RDNA 3 (Radeon RX 7000 series)

The Last of Us Online might have died once Naughty Dog realized it would have to support it for a long time , but a modder is currently making a multiplayer mod for The Last of Us Part II , aiming to recreate the Factions experience in the newer game.

The modder is Speclizer, who previously attempted to reimplement the cut Hold Up feature in the game . Since January 2026, however, he's been busy with this multiplayer project , which started as a modest proof of concept: two independent

Virtually every facet of the consumer electronics sphere is reeling right now from the relentless cost pressures that seem to be emanating from nearly each stage of the production process. Against this hyperinflationary backdrop, MediaTek is apparently gearing up to implement "structural" price hikes for its upcoming flagship Dimensity 9600 series chips.

According to a Taiwan-based publication, after implementing price adjustments for some of its more mature products, MediaTek is now gearing up to hike the prices of its upcoming flagship chips , dubbed the Dimensity 96

SanDisk is looking for more innovative solutions to address memory limitations, such as stacking NAND Flash within chips.

The rapid rise of AI & the proportional demand for compute has led to the exposure of bottlenecks, which are pushing DRAM and NAND manufacturers into going with the out-of-the-box approach.

In the past, chipmakers called it a day by introducing new memory technologies, and DRAM was the primary component. But the rise in costs, development/yield drawbacks, & increased power have led to a focus

Qualcomm is working on a new refresh of its existing Snapdragon X2 CPU family, which will feature various options.

The Snapdargon X2 lineup comes in three flavors: X2 Elite Extreme , X2 Elite , and X2 Plus . The CPU family starts at 6 cores and goes all the way up to 18 cores.

The iPhone Air was always going to be a tough sell because the compromises that accompanied Apple’s slim flagship were always going to break your purchase. The company was reported to make amends by introducing a dual-camera configuration next year but the latest rumor mentions a hardware downgrade that’s probably not going to stick well with the majority of buyers and may not bode well for this category’s future.

A rumor on yeux1122’s blog talks about a 48MP + 48MP

The Linux 7.2 Kernel Patches have seen the addition of a next-gen NVIDIA GPU architecture, cleverly listed as "Blackwell-Next".

NVIDIA's GPU architectures are not a mystery since the company has been outlining them in roadmaps for years now. We knew that Rubin was going to replace Blackwell years before its launch, and now we know that Feynman will replace Rubin. NVIDIA has only started volume production of Rubin, but internally, the company is prepping some big support for its next-generation architectures
