Qualcomm’s latest benchmarks show the Adreno X2 GPU significantly outperforming Intel and AMD integrated graphics. The company has also reached 90% Windows game compatibility, up from 70% last year. Native Arm game support is expected to expand in 2025.
Microsoft has unveiled its next-generation Cobalt 200 CPU featuring 132 Arm cores and built on TSMC’s 3nm process. The company also announced Azure Boost upgrades delivering 1 million IOPS for storage workloads. Both technologies will see wider rollout in 2026.
Quantum computing has proven its scientific principles but faces a manufacturing crisis. The current wiring complexity overwhelms the quantum devices themselves, requiring a shift from academic research to industrial engineering.
Quantum computers face a major hurdle with error-prone qubits limiting their usefulness. Now researchers have demonstrated a way to recycle the qubits that track errors, potentially making larger computations practical. This breakthrough could significantly reduce the number of qubits needed for mea
Intel is creating a completely new EDAC driver for its upcoming Diamond Rapids server CPUs. The move comes as memory controllers transition from PCI devices to MMIO-based architecture, requiring a clean break from previous designs.
Schneider Electric partners are reporting explosive growth driven by AI data center demands. One partner expects to double Schneider sales this year, while another predicts 10x growth in 3-5 years. The power and cooling requirements are creating what partners call “endless opportunities.”
A programmer has transformed the classic Windows 95 3D Maze screensaver into a fully interactive game. The project required surprisingly little work since Microsoft had already included most of the interaction logic. The playable version is now available on GitHub for anyone feeling nostalgic.
Microsoft is overhauling the Windows 11 taskbar to integrate AI agents that can run background tasks and control your PC. These agents operate in secure sandboxes with their own Windows accounts, keeping your data protected. The feature is opt-in and requires administrator approval to activate.
