Up until recently, Apple and NVIDIA maintained neat and clearly delineated orbits within TSMC's sprawling fabs, with the former leveraging the fab giant's leading-edge process and InFO (Integrated Fan-Out) packaging tech for its A-series processors, while the latter continuing to utilize TSMC's older-gen process alongside CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) packaging technology for its GPUs.
Yet, as both Apple and NVIDIA adopt a more aggressive design language for their bespoke chips,
CES 2026 has brought us a wealth of friendly back-and-forth jabbing between AMD and Intel, and this latest piece is no exception. PCWorld reports that AMD has clapped back at Intel after it claimed its Z2 chips were based on "ancient silicon," riposting that its Panther Lake mobile chips carry too much baggage to be suitable for
Intel appears confident in its new Panther Lake chips, especially for the handheld segment, as the company refers to chips from AMD as "ancient silicon."
Intel's CES 2026 keynote was a highlight of the entire event, as the company's consumer-centric approach with products like Panther Lake, XeSS 3, and Arc iGPUs clearly indicated that Team Blue is now looking to regain lost market share. The Panther Lake SoCs , which are the first to be built on the 18A node
Samsung Display says it has co-developed SmartPower HDR with Intel to cut OLED emissive power use on laptops. The companies say the feature targets HDR workloads without forcing the panel to run at a fixed high drive voltage.
SmartPower HDR adjusts panel driving voltage based on what is on screen. Samsung Display says the laptop SoC analyzes each frame’s peak brightness in real time and sends the data to the display timing controller,
Tom's Hardware sat down with AMD's SVP and GM of Client Product Group, Rahul Tikoo, to get AMD's response surrounding Intel's new speedy Panther Lake mobile CPUs. Tikoo revealed that AMD is not afraid of Intel's new chips, claiming its lineup of high-performance Ryzen AI Max (Strix Halo) APUs and mainstream Ryzen
Asus’ latest ROG Strix LC IV series of AIO liquid coolers not only rival the best CPU coolers on the market, but also introduce the world’s first cable-less design. This innovation is made possible by a proprietary AIO Q-Connector that relies on pogo pins for seamless connectivity, and we got a good look on the ground at CES 20
