    Is Intel going to deliver a processor/chipset worth waiting for?

    Well for laptops the Core Ultra is their first platform I'd recommend since Zen2. As for desktops...They might skip Meteor Lake and the Intel 4 node altogether, and go Straight for Lunar on 3nm

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    Hopefully Elon wins and this becomes as foundational as the Ford vs Dodge lawsuit

    Samsung's New microSD Cards Bring High Performance and Capacity, with Speeds of up to 800 MB/s and 1 TB in Size

    Assuming they don't use the worst possible NAND flash, it should withstand 200, maybe 400 years. A single millennium... I suppose enterprise tier SLC could survive it, but not an SD card, 2 would need ceramic packaging, binning and a lot of luck

    AMD "Zen 5c" CCDs Made On More Advanced 3 nm Node Than "Zen 5"

    Might also have to do with the fact that it's easier to fab smaller, simpler chips on bleeding edge nodes, or that N3(P) is more mobile/low power optimized

    Will RTX40 Super cards have 2.1 DP?

    They'd need to update the IO, and since Ada is monolithic, that means designing a completely new chip, so no

    Report: ASUS to Start Production of GPUs With No External Power Connectors

    This will likely fail, but it's an interesting anti-sag mechanism

    Nasdaq Set to Remove Activision Blizzard from Stock Exchange Top 100

    As long as this means Boby gets the axe, I'm fine, also the breast milk company had a good EGS score, but I can't have an actual WoT or Witcher adaptation, despite having Sanderson and Cavil respectively on set?

    Baldur's Gate 3 Split Screen Mode Problematic on Xbox Series S

    Did anyone play any of the new cRPGs on console, aren't controls designed for M+KB?

    Boox Introduces Tab Mini C - a Compact 7.8" Color ePaper Tablet PC

    As a Nova Air owner my answer is lukewarm. They have made a lot of improvements, but even the update I got in May was still Android 10. But to be fair, if they updated the OS to 12, and added a dedicated create table function I'd be fine since this is basically a notebook/clipboard replacement...

    TSMC and Partners to Invest $11 Billion into German-based Factory

    Doesn't SMT have 28/32nm fabs already in Europe. Also doesn't GlobalFoundries have a 14nm foundry in Germany?

    EU Locks in $47 Billion Investment Plan for European Chips Act

    So basically we are paying Samsung or TSMC to build a single fab, or a few "mature" ones, and not say give SMT, Philips, NXP, Siemens, Ericsson, or even some start-up money to create an European EUV node. At least if Winnie the Poo or Kim do invade we'll have one foundry and it's operators...

    Intel Elects Barbara G. Novick to Board of Directors

    Just as Intel was recovering from the 14nm+++++ era, they brought not just an exec, but the co-founder of BlackRock? At least TPU gave here the homecoming anyone involved in that plight on humanity deserves

    V-Color Launches Manta XSky RGB DDR5-6600 Memory

    Am I the only one disturbed by the 27% overvoltage? I mean even 1.35V is a bit much for DDR5

    Intel LGA1851 to Succeed LGA1700, Probably Retain Cooler Compatibility

    I mostly agree, but the whole short life cycle socket does destroy the environment, since the people who do upgrade after 3-4 years will need a new motherboard. But even AMD with their 128 mb BIOS isn't the most unsullied maiden, just a bit better. P.S. environmental impact starts when they...

    Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1

    Because other than 14nm vs 16nm, and arguably N10 vs 10LPE, Samsung kept running into issues for the past few years
