AMD will become TSMC’s largest 7nm customer in the second half of 2020, according to Apple Daily’s supply chain sources . The change of order comes as a result of higher orders from AMD and Apple moving to 5nm for its A14.

Apple Daily reports that TSMC’s 7nm wafer capacity will be 110,000 wafer starts per month (WPM) in the first half of 2020. TSMC

AMD is set to take the stage at the CES tech conference in Las Vegas next week, which leaves us all wondering about what exactly AMD CEO and president Dr. Lisa Su will reveal during the press event at January 6 at 2 p.m. PT.

As suggested by The China Times this week, it's possible that AMD will share details on the next-generation Zen 3 microarchitecture during its press conference at CES. Furthermore, the Chinese news outlet claimed

There's a new hammer in town. On December 31, researchers detailed a cyberattack dubbed JackHammer , as spotted by ZDNet . Based on the Rowhammer attacks revealed in 2014, JackHammer uses a hybrid FPGA and CPU setup to conduct more efficient attacks on various forms of PC memory.

Unlike other branding applied to vulnerabilities, Rowhammer is actually pretty descriptive. The attack corrupts data stored in memory by repeatedly accessing one row of memory cells to build up enough charge

In 2019, NAND and DRAM prices dropped to an all-time low. This led to cheaper SSDs and memory than we've ever seen before. These times appear to be coming to an end though. A DigiTimes report today cited unnamed sources at chipmakers claiming that prices for NAND flash memory, a non-volatile type of storage used in storage components like SSDs, will rise by up to 40% by Q4 2020.

If you're working on a parts list for a budget PC build , you might want to consider AMD's first-gen Ryzen 1500X CPU, as it is now available on Amazon for just $69 . It's this CPU's lowest price yet and one of the best after-Christmas tech sales right now. It was about time too because according to PCPartPicker , the chip was retailing for $145 up until today, which

Linux developers have been doing a lot of swimming lately. Phoronix today reported that devs have recently made progress in their efforts to add support for Intel's Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Jasper Lake processors to the Coreboot firmware platform.

Ice Lake processors are currently available for notebook devices. They're set to be replaced by their Tiger Lake counterparts sometime in 2020. Jasper Lake, meanwhile, is expected to make an even later debut in the form of 10nm

Over the past couple weeks we've spotted leaked specifications for the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card and some rumored performance numbers . Now we may have new information on the card's GPU, thanks to data in the CompuBench database , spotted by hardware leaker Komachi .

The data doesn't explicitly mention the RX 5600 XT, but rather the GFX1011, which is otherwise known as the Navi 12 core. It is

Laptop speakers rarely impress. There's only so much a manufacturer can do to make them sound good, after all, and most people probably use headphones anyway. But the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) revealed on Tuesday that Apple has patented a new audio system to improve its MacBook speakers.

Part of the problem with laptop speakers is their proximity to each other. Many people are used to hearing things via stereo audio, especially since headphones and earbuds became so

Apple and Imagination Technologies have extended and renewed their multi-year licensing agreement. It will give Apple access to a wider range of Imagination’s IP for the coming years.

Imagination Technologies announced this in a short statement on Wednesday. Imagination Technologies says that it has replaced the 2014 multi-year, multi-use licensing agreement with a new one. The new multi-year licensing agree will give Apple access to a wider range of Imagination’s intellectual
