Makers of smartphones and PCs are always eager to offer their customers an experience not available from their rivals. Back in the day, vendors competed for the best ergonomics, software, and some exclusive features. Still, more recently, companies like Apple, Huawei, and Samsung started to develop their own system-on-chips (SoC) to differentiate at all levels. A report says that Google is now following their steps with its own silicon for Pixel smartphones and Chromebooks.

A rather exciting unannounced AMD mobile Ryzen processor has just surfaced. The Ryzen 9 5900HX (via Tum_Apisak ) could be part of a new breed of Zen 3 mobile chips that may support overclocking, similar to Intel's unlocked HK-series parts.

The Ryzen 9 5900HX, which showed up in an unreleased Asus ROG Zephyrus GX551QS laptop, comes equipped with eight cores, 16 threads, and up to 1

An inadvertently-published Geekbench score indicates that Intel's upcoming Ice Lake-SP processors may have more cores than Intel advertises today. At least one server vendor is already testing engineering samples of such chips that appear to come with 36 cores that run at a pretty decent frequency.

When Intel recently gave a glimpse at its upcoming 3rd generation Xeon Scalable 'Ice Lake-SP' processor, it demonstrated some preliminary performance expectations using a 32-core Xeon Platinum CPU, implying

The holiday shopping season is here and there are plenty of deals to sift through. We know it isn't always easy to recognize when a deal is genuine or just a quick attempt to cash in on a sale. So we're making things easier this year by gathering the best Raspberry Pi deals we can for all you pi-lovers and microelectronics enthusiasts out there.

Raspberry Pi fans should have no trouble finding fun electronic goodies on sale this year. There are

Arguably the most important component in any computer (along with the graphics card if you're a gamer), your CPU has the most impact on performance. If you’re planning a new PC Build, perhaps one of the best PC builds , anytime soon, this holiday deals season should yield some good processor discounts, all of which we will be tracking below.

So far, we've seen solid deals on current-gen chips from Intel, as well

Eleven months to the day we saw it at CES 2020 , Razer is launching the Razer Tomahawk Gaming Desktop, a tiny PC in a 10-liter chassis powered by an Intel Compute Element with an Intel Core i9-9980HK. It's available for pre-order this month, exclusively on Razer's website.

There are two versions of the Tomahawk Gaming Desktop - one that pairs the Compute Unit with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 30

One of Micron's fabs in Taiwan went offline on Thursday, which startled the market and sent memory spot prices upwards due to supply uncertainty. As a result, while the impact of the disruption is unclear, Micron's stock upticked. The fab typically pumps out approximately 8.8% of the global DRAM supply.

Micron's Fab 11, located near Taoyuan City, was taken offline by an unexpected power outage that lasted for a little over an hour. According to

Asus enabled the Resizable BAR feature on its Z490 motherboards not so long ago, and Japanese media outlet ASCII has already published some encouraging results that will make any Intel owner smile.

Resizable BAR (Base Address Register), which can boost throughput between a CPU and a GPU to improve performance, isn't some type of alien technology from another universe. In fact, the feature has been part of the PCIe specification since Revision 2.

Intel's first Xe-HPC graphics processor for supercomputing applications codenamed Ponte Vecchio has not taped out yet, but developers of programs for the upcoming Xe-HPC-based Aurora supercomputer need to start writing and testing their code now in a bid to use it sometime in 2022. To enable software development for the new machine, Intel is getting ready to provide select Aurora developers DevCloud access to its Xe-HP-based systems.

Intel is preparing to add support for Xe
