As AMD gains market share in desktops, laptops, and servers, its overall x86 share hits all time high at 29.2%.

The compute tile of Intel's Nova Lake CPU will be slightly smaller than compute tile of Arrow Lake CPU, but will likely be more expensive to make at TSMC.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is the fastest gaming CPU around, but the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can match it if you simply flick on PBO. Our benchmarking shows that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can make up the performance gap without manual overclocking in games.

Sometime in 2027 to 2028, AMD could release Medusa Halo, its next-gen entry in the high-performance Halo APU lineup. It's said to feature Zen 6 CPU cores and RDNA 5 graphics. A new leak suggests it could also support LPDDR6 memory, enabling bandwidths up to 460.8 GB/s on a 256-bit interface with 14,400 MT/s speeds.

Fresh leaks reveal that Nova Lake might have a maximum power limit of 700W on the top-end, unlocked silicon with dual compute tiles. Moreover, Nova Lake is apparently blocking TJMax offsets and removing the ability to prevent thermal throttling. Lastly, the family can apparently boot without the P-cores entirely, relying on LP-E cores or E-cores.

Another chip from Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake refresh lineup has leaked online, this time appearing on the Geekbench platform with solid scores. The Core Ultra 250K Plus, the company's next desktop midranger, posted 3,113 points in the single-threaded results and 15,251 points in the multi-threaded test.

Intel seemingly discontinues its 'Intel On Demand' technology that let its customers activate certain accelerators inside Xeon CPUs after purchase.

New leaks point toward a March 23 embargo lift for review of Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake refresh. However, this batch appears to include only three chips, with the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus absent from the lineup. Early pricing for these three processors has also leaked out, showing reductions across the board.

The increased demand is said to be partly brought by demand for agentic AI, which need CPUs to execute their tasks.

Chinese tech YouTube channel Geekerwan tests direct die cooling on the 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX, using a CNC-engraved IHS and automotive-grade cooling components.

While the scope of the faults appears to be quite small, ASRock joins the chorus of motherboard companies promising to search for a cause.

After months of consistent decline, Intel’s consumer CPUs have enjoyed a small but significant spell of market share growth, at least according to the latest Steam Hardware Survey.

AMD's CEO doesn't seem concerned with current memory prices, suggesting the company is focusing its efforts on the enterprise.

AMD's CEO Dr. Lisa Su let out a hint about the next-gen Xbox, which will sport a semi-custom SoC that should be ready next year.

An overseas retailer has listed Intel's forthcoming Core Ultra 200K Plus (codenamed Arrow Lake Refresh) processors along with pricing, suggesting that the refreshed family will carry practically no premium over existing products.

One of Loongson's 12-core CPUs has been benchmarked by Phoronix. The Linux outlet discovered the chip is three times slower on average than AMD's latest six-core CPU the Ryzen 5 9600X.

Intel is returning to desktop workstations with Xeon 600. Granite Rapids WS CPUs deliver up to 61% better multi-threaded performance, according to Intel, sporting up to 86 cores and 4TB of memory.

Panther Lake chips with Arc B370 and Arc B390 iGPUs will require RAM running at 7,467 MT/s or higher since integrated graphics rely on shared system memory. If the RAM config is any slower, those impressive iGPUs will be relabeled to generic "Intel Graphics" in Task Manager in an effort to prevent vendors from under-equipping machines.

Binning data from 13 Ryzen 7 9850X3D samples was published online, showing the average required voltage the 9850X3D needs to achieve its peak single-core clock speed.

As Intel gears to launch its Arrow Lake refresh, leaks for the lineup keep pouring in left and right — the latest one being a Geekbench spotting for the flagship Core Ultra 9 290K Plus. The chip scored 10.5% higher in single-core and 11.29% higher in multi-core tests compared to the existing Core Ultra 9 285K.
