A user reports how his CPU appeared as a bigger model in most hardware identifiers, but it wasn't the reality.

A Chiphell user reports that he recently purchased the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, a new Arrow Lake Refresh SKU that boasts more cores than the 245K. However, when he switched his motherboard from Colorful to GIGABYTE, an unusual behavior was observed. While his CPU box clearly mentions "Core Ultra 5 250K Plus", his CPU kept getting detected

The timing of the Snapdragon X2 Elite could not have been more perfect, as the release of a significantly powerful chipset to take on Apple’s M5 series and x86 CPUs was only matched by how the Windows on ARM platform improved with more native apps available for the operating system.

In short, developers are finally recognizing that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest SoC offers a decent footing for them to make the required effort towards optimizing their programs. Unfortunately, in the latest discussion on Reddit, OEMs using

It's a powerful GPU block for enthusiasts who wouldn't mind spending over $600 for the premium cooling experience it offers.

The ROG Astral RTX 5080 GPU from ASUS falls under the high-performance/premium GPU category, but its stock cooler may not be very appealing to enthusiasts. If you are someone who already owns the Astral RTX 5080, then you should take a look at what Der8auer calls "The Most Ambitious GPU Water Block..."

Following Microsoft 's expensive acquisition of Activision Blizzard , the biggest question mark was whether the latter's most popular product, Call of Duty , would join Xbox Game Pass . Microsoft eventually decided to add new installments starting with 2024's Black Ops 6 , developed by Treyarch and Raven Software. Right away, it broke franchise and Game Pass records , but later it became clear it wasn't such a good decision for the franchise. Now, according to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft

Apple’s biggest test in the foldable smartphone is to address a design problem that none of its competitors have scaled past; the crease. Despite the iPhone Fold being rumored to enter trial production at Foxconn, there have been multiple instances where the California-based giant has been reported to have faced problems and attempted to fix them using a different set of materials.

These would not just strengthen the primary inner display but also prevent that crease from materializing. Given that Apple is a company that is under the scrutiny radar more

Well, you read the headline right, and we are talking about a critical element in AI chips that is not only in tremendous shortage but also originally comes from an MSG maker.

The aggressiveness of the AI demand cycle has left almost every supply chain entity involved facing shortages, whether in semiconductors, advanced packaging, OSAT services, and more. Traditionally, the computing industry has an idea of demand cycles, given how they have historically evolved, but with the AI datacenter buildout, the scale of customer requirements has reached a

Notebooks shipping with elaborate cooling solutions is exactly the path that manufacturers should take so that customers actually obtain the performance that they’ve paid a premium for. ASUS’ Zenbook 16 takes the correct approach to properly cool the extremely powerful Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme , and it’s a lesson that Apple could strongly adhere to when introducing its newer MacBook Pro series. Remember, the company’s base M5 MacBook Pro handles all the heat with just a single fan, which is insufficient to tame the SoC.

The popular PS3 emulator is now closer to true plug-and-play disc backups as encrypted ISO support has been added to the utility.

The popular PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 continues to make steady progress in simplifying game loading. As one of the most popular PS3 emulators on the planet, RPCS3 has undergone several changes over the last decade and has brought major updates in the last few months. A few months ago, RPCS3 devs made it possible to directly load the game through mounting the ISO ,

In what might well turn out to be a watershed moment for the smartphone sphere at large as it continues to contend with a full-blown memory chip crisis, Qualcomm is now reportedly working with China's CXMT to develop custom mobile-centric memory solutions, hoping to ease the chronic bottlenecks that have nearly paralyzed the global mobile industry.

Back in February, Qualcomm had that while the "majority" of DRAM that goes with Qualcomm's SoCs is purchased directly by its customers, the chip designer was "among the
