There is a new player in the operating systems arena from KORA Systems Inc. Called KORA, this operating system is the first bottom-up OS designed specifically for AI PCs, enabling agentic workflows. It is one of the first concepts where a system is so heavily customized that AI workflows are native to it. The company developed this customized operating system on top of NixOS, using it as a foundational layer.

The customization includes the development of what are called neural workspaces and file systems, which replace traditional folders and desktop apps. While these traditional elements are still present, the workflow on KORA OS is organized around intent, context, and memory. Each workspace is divided based on user intent, and the OS manages the files accordingly. Security is robust, as KORA implements each workspace within a secured sandbox for applications and agents, with separate permissions. The memory and context of the workflow remain on the user's desktop, never leaving the machine. Features like semantic search and email are natively integrated, allowing you to search across your entire OS or email to find what you need.

Synaptics Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) today introduced the xMCU, a new class of microcontrollers that runs multimodal Edge AI, with the launch of the Synaptics Astra SR200 Series. Unlike conventional MCUs constrained by limited on-chip memory and compute, the xMCU combines heterogeneous, AI-native compute and acceleration with integrated high-bandwidth custom DRAM scalable to hundreds of megabytes, enabling larger AI models and richer multimodal workloads to run entirely on-device. The Astra SR200 Series of xMCUs is designed for the next generation of AI wearables, battery-powered sensing devices, connected cameras, streamers, and industrial vision and voice systems.

The SR200 Series is powered by the Synaptics Torq AI engine, which brings a standards-based hardware architecture and unified developer experience featuring the Coral NPU from Google Research. It also comes with the industry's first pairing of the Arm Cortex -M85 and Cortex -M52. Together with integrated vision and audio capabilities and hardware-rooted security, the SR200 Series brings unmatched system design efficiency and cost benefits to Edge and Physical AI designs.

A jailbroken PlayStation 5 can now run original Xbox games, which is quite ironic, to say the least. Developer ZiZc3 has published XPSemu Alpha 1 on GitHub, a port of the open-source xemu emulator that runs as a native PS5 app. In the developer's own testing, an unmodified Halo 2 holds 30 FPS on average. With the community 60 FPS patch, it apparently reaches 51 to 60 FPS in the opening and 36 to 50 FPS during gameplay. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is said to run smoothly as well. The other results, however, are less impressive. Forza Motorsport drops to 15 to 21 FPS in races, and Fable: The Lost Chapters falls to 10 to 20 FPS in heavy scenes. It looks like the CPU is the limit here.

ZiZc3 says the emulated Xbox CPU thread stays at 85 to 97% load while the GPU sits mostly idle. That spare headroom lets you raise the internal resolution by 4x at almost no cost. You'll need your own Xbox BIOS, MCPX boot ROM, hard disk image, and games as XISO files, since discs aren't supported. Save states are missing, and audio DSP emulation is off by default because it hurts performance. Frame generation through an FSR 3 port is on the roadmap. XPSemu comes about a week after ProsperoEden brought Switch games to jailbroken PS5s and the Relapse exploit unlocked nearly every PS5 model, so more ports like this are probably on the way.

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Prio, an ultra-mobile, foldable USB-C gaming controller engineered for iPhone and Android. Built to turn daily downtime, from commuting delays to breaks between classes, into console-grade gaming sessions, the Prio delivers full-sized control in a palm-sized form that slips into any pocket.

The first in Razer's new line of ultraportable mobile gaming controllers, the Razer Prio packs full-sized, console-grade control into a one-of-a-kind foldable form that fits in a pocket, turning everyday downtime into real play.

EA posted a job listing seeking an engineer to port its Javelin Anticheat, a kernel-level anticheat solution, to the Windows-on-Arm (WoA) platform. This is a significant indicator of where the industry is headed, confirming that the biggest game developers are officially porting their game engines, games, and anticheat solutions to Arm-based PCs running the Windows 11 operating system. Interestingly, this coincides with NVIDIA's introduction of its N1/N1X SoCs with Arm-based CPU cores, which are expected to launch in the first half of this year. These will offer consumers 20 CPU cores, consisting of 10 Cortex-X925 and 10 Cortex-A725 CPU cores based on the Armv9.2 ISA, along with a "Blackwell" GPU optimized for low power settings with 6,144 CUDA cores. Adding to the growing ecosystem of WoA solutions, NVIDIA will be competing with Qualcomm's recent Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Plus SoCs.

If readers recall Valve's efforts to port regular Windows games to Linux, one of the biggest issues was the use of kernel-based anti-cheat solutions that simply couldn't work on the non-standard Windows 11 platform. A similar situation is now occurring even between Windows versions, as EA needs to develop a specialized solution that will work on non-x86 deployments like the standard Windows-on-Arm. It will likely be a few months before the official deployment is released, but the job listing suggests that some internal work is in progress. This means that the senior engineer EA is looking for could arrive to quickly bring these pieces together and make the new platform work without any issues.

Chinese firm M5Stack has released its new AI Pyramid series, a small-form-factor edge AI PC aimed at developers and makers working with local inference workloads that stands out with its unique pyramid shape design. The lineup consists of two variants: AI Pyramid and AI Pyramid-Pro. Both models are built around the Axera AX8850 SoC, which combines an octa-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU running at up to 1.7 GHz with a 24 TOPS INT8 NPU. The platform targets fully local AI processing, covering use cases such as computer vision, multimodal input, and on-device model inference, without depending on cloud acceleration.

Memory configurations differ between the two versions, with the standard AI Pyramid shipping with 4 GB of LPDDR4x, while the Pro model offers 8 GB. Storage is provided by 32 GB of onboard eMMC. The AX8850 supports hardware-accelerated H.264 and H.265 encoding and decoding at resolutions up to 8K at 30 FPS, as well as up to 16 concurrent 1080p decode streams. The specs are completed with dual Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 ports, HDMI output, with the AI Pyramid-Pro adding HDMI input support. The device also integrates onboard audio hardware, an OLED status display, RGB lighting, and an active cooling solution. Pricing starts at $199 for the 4 GB AI Pyramid Computing Box, with the 8 GB Pro variant listed at $249 on the M5Stack website.

MediaTek has announced Dimensity 9500s and Dimensity 8500. As the latest members of the Dimensity family, both products focus on delivering outstanding performance, efficiency, AI, imaging, gaming, and wireless connectivity, driving new momentum into the flagship and premium smartphone segments.

"As leaders in smartphone global share, we are committed to increasing our investment in advanced technologies and striving to make bleeding-edge products available to more people," said JC Hsu, corporate senior vice president at MediaTek and general manager of the Wireless Communications Business Unit. "This mission is evident in this pair of Dimensity chipsets, which are intended to provide more flagship and premium smartphone experiences while upholding our vision in bringing the best possible performance and power efficiency to more people."

Over the past couple of years, we've seen a lot of new entries into the NAS market and another new player is Zettlab. The company ran a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising over US$1.48 million from 1820 backers. The company brought base tier D4 and D6 models to CES and these models have started to arrive with its backers about six months late, whereas the more powerful Ultra models seem to have ended up stuck in development hell, partially due to increased DRAM prices.

The D4 and D6 are based on the Rockchip RK3588 Arm SoC with four Cortex-A76 and four Cortex-A55 CPU cores, a 6 TOPS NPU and an Arm Mali G610 MC4 GPU. Zettlab has paired the RK3588 with 16 GB of LPDDR4x memory and 32 GB eMMC for the OS. Both SKUs have a 1 Gbps and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, one NVMe slot, and HDMI port, one Type-C and one Type-A USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, one full-size SD card slot and one microSD card slot, as well as a 3.49-inch information display around the front. As the model name suggests, the D4 has four 3.5-inch drive bays and the D6 has six. Zettlab provides its own ZettOS which is said to be an AI first OS and the company was demoing its ZettAI at CES, but outside of that, it seems like ZettOS is a fairly basic NAS OS at the moment.

Raspberry Pi has launched a new 1 GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5 at $45, giving its latest board a lower entry point while the company adjusts prices across the lineup to deal with rising memory costs. The new model keeps the same quad-core 2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 CPU, dual-band Wi-Fi, and PCIe support, but cuts LPDDR4 capacity to reach the new price. At the same time, Raspberry Pi is increasing prices on several Pi 4 and Pi 5 configurations due to what it calls an unprecedented surge in LPDDR4 pricing. These adjustments follow similar hikes made to Compute Module products in October and are meant to help secure memory supply as the market tightens through 2026.

As of today, Pi 4 4 GB now starts at $60 (up from $55) and the 8 GB model increases to $85. The Pi 5 sees bigger jumps: the 2 GB version goes from $50 to $55, 4 GB rises from $60 to $70, 8 GB from $80 to $95, and the 16 GB flagship climbs from $120 to $145. The 1 GB Pi 5 is new at $45. Pricing for lower-density Pi 4 variants, Pi 3-series models, and the Pi Zero family remains unchanged. Compute Module 5 16 GB models are also moving up by $20. Raspberry Pi says the adjustments are necessary to keep its products available in the face of steep memory inflation, but the new 1 GB Pi 5 gives users a cheaper way into the platform even as higher-capacity boards get more expensive.

Today, award-winning gaming services company Side, and Razer, the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers, revealed an industry disrupting playtest tool. Made possible by leveraging Side's proprietary AI technology, playtest data is simultaneously used to improve quality assurance results - an industry first. Based on pricing comparisons from major playtest providers, it could reduce playtesting costs by 80% in some cases.

Razer Cortex: Playtest Program - Powered by Side combines traditional playtesting features with QA on a massive scale, making it the first all-in-one testing solution for developers looking for both qualitative and technical feedback. The new tool will launch within Razer Cortex, Razer's PC game launcher with over 55 million global users, enabling developers to run large-scale, targeted playtests with real players.

Although we did notice a picture of the new model as part of an ad on Ugreen's website last week, there was no product page then, but it was added at some point towards the end of last week. The new model is known as the NASync DH4300 Plus and it's based around a Rockchip RK3588C SoC. The RK3588C sports four Arm Cortex-A76 cores that clock up to 2.4 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores, which is far from cutting edge today, but should hopefully be powerful enough for a consumer NAS. Ugreen has paired the CPU with 8 GB of LPDDR4X and 32 GB of eMMC for the OS.

The DH4300 Plus is a 4-bay NAS with support for up to four 30 TB SATA drives, but there are no M.2 NVMe slots, even though the Rockchip SoC could in theory have supported a single drive. Other features include a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, one USB Type-C and two USB Type-A, all USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and an HDMI port capable of 4K60p output. The latter makes sense if Ugreen has carried over the media playback features from its range of x64 based NASes. The drive caddies are loaded from the top, which gives the DH4300 Plus a rather different design from your average NAS. According to NAS Compares, Ugreen is also set to release a cheaper, 2-bay version called the DH3200, which is based around the same hardware. The NASync DH4300 Plus has an MSRP of US$430/€430, but is currently available for US$344/€344 directly from Ugreen, with an expected shipping date of the 25th of July.

Samsung's Exynos 2500 SoC has appeared on Geekbench, this time giving us a clearer indication of what to expect from the upcoming SoC that will power the next generation of Samsung flagship smartphones. There are three total runs that have appeared on Geekbench, putting forward anywhere between 2303 and 2356 points in the single-core Geekbench 6 benchmark and 8062 and 8076 points in the multicore benchmark. Meanwhile, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in the current-generation Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra manages a single-core score of 2883 and a multicore score or 9518 on the same Geekbench 6 benchmark. Samsung recently made the Exynos 2500 public, with the spec sheet revealing a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU paired with 10 Arm Cortex CPUs (1× Cortex-X5, 2× Cortex-A725 at 2.74 GHz, 5× Cortex-A725 at 2.36 GHz, and 2× Cortex A520 at 1.8 GHz).

The new SoC is reportedly the first chip to use Samsung's 3 nm GAA process, and leaks suggest that Samsung may be using the new SoC across its entire next-gen global smartphone line-up, starting with the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This would be a stark departure from previous releases, where the US versions of the Galaxy S line-up featured Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with the international Galaxy S smartphones packing the in-house Exynos designs. In recent years, however, Samsung has pivoted to using Snapdragon SoCs across all regions.

At Raspberry Pi, our mission is to make computing accessible and affordable for everyone and for businesses at every scale, so today we're delighted to announce a reduction in the price of some of the most popular variants of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. From now, if you buy a standard operating temperature Compute Module 4 from a Raspberry Pi Approved Reseller, it will cost you $5 less for a 4 GB RAM variant, and $10 less for an 8 GB RAM variant.

Broader access to a proven platform
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 is the cornerstone of an astonishing variety of applications, from medical equipment to energy services infrastructure and from concrete monitoring to retro gaming. There is a vast number of embedded use cases that don't require the processing heft of our new (ish) Compute Module 5; by lowering the cost of the higher-memory-density variants of its predecessor, we aim to make these projects more cost-effective, and to unlock new ones that previously weren't viable. We hope the price drop will introduce new possibilities both for businesses and for enthusiasts, helping you bring into existence products and projects we'd never even imagined.

Arm's new Cortex-A320 represents its first ultra-efficient CPU using the advanced Armv9 architecture dedicated to the needs of IoT and AI applications. The processor achieves over 50% higher efficiency compared to the Cortex-A520 through several microarchitecture optimizations, together with a narrow fetch and decode data path, densely banked L1 caches, and a reduced-port integer register file. It also delivers 30% improved scalar performance compared with its predecessor, the Cortex-A35, via efficient branch predictors, pre-fetchers, and memory system improvements.

The Cortex-A320 is a single-issue, in-order CPU with a 32-bit instruction fetch and 8-stage pipeline. The processor offers scalability by supporting single-core to quad-core configurations. It features DSU-120T, a streamlined DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU) which enables Cortex-A320-only clusters. Cortex-A320 supports up to 64 KB L1 caches and up to 512 KB L2, with a 256-bit AMBA5 AXI interface to external memory. The L2 cache and the L2 TLB can be shared between the Cortex-A320 CPUs. The vector processing unit, which implements the NEON and SVE2 SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) technologies, can be either private in a single core complex or shared between cores in dual-core or quad-core implementations.

Silicon Labs, a leader in secure, intelligent wireless technology for a more connected world, today announced that its MG26 family of wireless SoCs is now generally available through Silicon Labs and its distribution partners. As the industry's most advanced, high-performance Matter and concurrent multiprotocol solution to date, the MG26 SoC features double the Flash and RAM of other Silicon Labs multiprotocol devices, advanced AI/ML processing, and best-in-class security to empower developers to design future-proof Matter applications.

"With MG26, we're not just setting a new standard in multiprotocol wireless performance for battery-based, low-power smart home applications—we're redefining what's possible for the future of IoT connectivity with Matter," said Jacob Alamat, Senior Vice President for the Home and Life business unit at Silicon Labs. "This device empowers developers to create smarter, safer, and more powerful solutions in an increasingly connected world."

Qualcomm has announced its latest mid-range offering, dubbed the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4. Compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, the improvements on the CPU side are rather modest, with Qualcomm claiming an 11% improvement. The CPU, now based on TSMC N4, packs four ARMv9-based Cortex-A720 P-cores, along with four Cortex-A520 E-cores, making it an 8-core system as tradition. On the GPU side, however, a substantial 29% improvement has been asserted, although the specifics remain under wraps as of this writing.

The chipset can be paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5-3200 memory, and displays up to FHD+ at 144 Hz are supported. INT4 support is also present the new NPU, which should allow for decent on-device AI capabilities. Gaming performance should also witness a decent jump, thanks to the aforementioned GPU improvement, paired with Game Super Resolution (upscaling) and Frame Motion Engine (frame generation, every other frame). For connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and 5G (mm Wave, sub-6 GHz) are present. Up to 200 MP single-camera systems are supported, with Snapdragon's LLV (Low Light Vision) technology, Of course, being a budget segment SoC, it would be futile to expect high-end photography capabilities. As for videography, 4k30 and 1080p120 are supported, along with HLG and HDR10.

Keychron, the innovative leader in keyboard technology, announces the UK availability of two new additions to its acclaimed lineup: the Keychron Q6 Max Full-Size Wireless Keyboard and the Keychron K5 Max QMK Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard ISO Layout Collection.

Just in time for Christmas, we're delighted to announce the release of two hotly anticipated products that we think will look great under the tree. One of them might even fit in a stocking if you push hard enough. Introducing Raspberry Pi 500, available now at $90, and the Raspberry Pi Monitor, on sale at $100: together, they're your complete Raspberry Pi desktop setup.

Integral calculus
Our original mission at Raspberry Pi was to put affordable, programmable personal computers in the hands of young people all over the world. And while we've taken some detours along the way - becoming one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrial and embedded computers - this mission remains at the heart of almost everything we do. It drives us to make lower-cost products like the $15 Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, and more powerful products, like our flagship Raspberry Pi 5 SBC. These products provide just the essential processing element of a computer, which can be combined with the family television, and second-hand peripherals, to build a complete and cost-effective system.

Today we're happy to announce the much-anticipated launch of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, the modular version of our flagship Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer, priced from just $45.

An unexpected journey
We founded the Raspberry Pi Foundation back in 2008 with a mission to give today's young people access to the sort of approachable, programmable, affordable computing experience that I benefitted from back in the 1980s. The Raspberry Pi computer was, in our minds, a spiritual successor to the BBC Micro, itself the product of the BBC's Computer Literacy Project. But just as the initially education-focused BBC Micro quickly found a place in the wider commercial computing marketplace, so Raspberry Pi became a platform around which countless companies, from startups to multi-billion-dollar corporations, chose to innovate. Today, between seventy and eighty percent of Raspberry Pi units go into industrial and embedded applications.

Details of what is claimed to be Google's upcoming Tensor G5 and G6 SoCs have popped up over on Notebookcheck.net and the site claims to have found the specs on a public platform, without going into any further details. Those that were betting on the Tensor G5—codenamed Laguna—delivering vastly improved performance over the Tensor G4, are likely to be disappointed, at least on the CPU side of things. As previous rumours have suggested, the chip is expected to be manufactured by TSMC, using its N3E process node, but the Tensor G5 will retain the single Arm Cortex-X4 core, although it will see a slight upgrade to five Cortex-A725 cores vs. the three Cortex-A720 cores of the Tensor G4. The G5 loses two Cortex-A520 cores in favour of the extra Cortex-A725 cores. The Cortex-X4 will also remain clocked at the same peak 3.1 GHz as that of the Tensor G4.

Interestingly it looks like Google will drop the Arm Mali GPU in favour of an Imagination Technologies DXT GPU, although the specs listed by Notebookcheck doesn't add up with any of the specs listed by Imagination Technologies. The G5 will continue to support 4x 16-bit LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X memory chips, but Google has added support for UFS 4.0 memory, something that's been a point of complaint for the Tensor G4. Other new additions is support for 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 and PCI Express 4.0. Some improvements to the camera logic has also been made, with support for up to 200 Megapixel sensors or 108 Megapixels with zero shutter lag, but if Google will use such a camera or not is anyone's guess at this point in time.

Award-winning embedded solutions provider AAEON (stock code: 6579) has announced the launch of the RICO-MX8P, an NXP i.MX 8M Plus-powered fanless single-board built on the Pico-ITX Plus form factor. Utilizing the i.MX 8M Plus, the RICO-MX8P leverages a platform comprised of a quad-core Arm Cortex -A53 processor, a secondary core Arm Cortex M7, and an optional Neural Processing Unit (NPU) offering up to 2.3 TOPS of inference performance.

Equipped with an integrated Vivante GC7000 UltraLite 3D GPU, a dedicated VPU, MIPI DSI interface, and an HDMI 2.0 port, it is clear AAEON is positioning the RICO-MX8P as a candidate for multimedia applications, with digital signage, smart kiosk, and interactive Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising earmarked as potential uses. Further benefits to such use are evident from the board's support for APIs like OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan, and OpenCL 1.2, alongside its multiformat encoding and decoding capabilities.

Industry leader AAEON has expanded its RISC computing product portfolio with the release of the SRG-IMX8PL and PICO-IMX8PL, a Mini PC and 2.5" PICO-ITX board, respectively. Both products are powered by the NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform, featuring a quad-core Arm Cortex -A53 processor with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) operating at up to 2.3 TOPS.

Built to provide cost-efficient IoT Gateway solutions in rugged environments, the SRG-IMX8PL and PICO-IMX8PL both offer wide temperature ranges of -40°C to 80°C with the use of a fanless heatsink, a 9 V to 36 V power input range. The SRG-IMX8PL Mini PC also features enhanced shock, drop, and vibration resistance. Dual LAN ports with IEEE 1588 and TSN capabilities, alongside Wi-Fi and 4G module support via M.2 2230 E-Key and full-size mini card, provide each device with broad connectivity options for industrial IoT use. Additionally, both the PICO-IMX8PL and SRG-IMX8PL support a wide range of operating systems, including Debian 11, Android 13, Windows 10 IoT, and Yocto, as well as data communication protocols such as Modbus, MQTT, and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).

Arm has announced a pair of new Armv9 CPU cores today, alongside a refresh of a third. The new additions are the Cortex-X925—which is a huge model number jump from the previous Cortex-X4—and the Cortex-A725 which should be an upgraded Cortex-A720. Finally the Cortex-A520 has been refreshed to bring a 15 percent power efficiency improvement as well as support for 3 nm production nodes. Arm claims that the Cortex-A925 delivers its highest performance improvement ever over a previous generation with a single core uplift of up to 36 percent and an AI performance improvement of up to 46 percent compared to the Cortex-X4. The Cortex-X925 will support up to 3 MB private L2 cache and is tape-out ready for 3 nm production nodes.

The Cortex-A725 is said to offer a 35 percent performance efficiency improvement over the Cortex-A720 and it's been given performance boosts both when it comes to AI and gaming workloads. It's said to be up to 25 percent more power efficient than the Cortex-A720 and L3 cache traffic has been improved by up to 20 percent. Again, the Cortex-A720 is ready for production on a 3 nm node. Finally, Arm has also updated its DynamIQ Shared Unit to the DS-120 and here Arm has managed to reduce the typical workload power by up to 50 percent and the cache miss power by up to 60 percent. The DSU-120 scales to up to 14 Arm cores, suggesting that we might get to see some interesting new SoC implementations in the coming years from Arm's partners, although Arm's reference platform is a 2-4-2 configuration of the new cores.
