AMD is quietly advancing Linux support for its mobile hardware. New driver patches target the upcoming HP ZBook Ultra G1a, while a new scheduler feature aims to boost performance for future Ryzen laptops.
Intel’s next-next-gen Xe4 “Druid” graphics architecture has been spotted in a data center shipping manifest. This is surprising, as it’s been absent from roadmaps and was only expected inside future CPUs. The find suggests Intel is cooking up more GPU projects than it’s publicly admitting.
Kyocera has demonstrated a new underwater optical communication system that achieved a blistering 5.2 gigabits per second in lab tests. The goal is to let inspection drones wirelessly dump huge data loads at underwater stations. But the real-world range is currently measured in centimeters, not kilo
Nvidia’s latest Linux graphics driver release is a two-for-one. It officially promotes the R590 series to stable status while also sending initial code for Turing GPUs to the open-source “Nova” driver project.
According to a new report, Intel’s next-gen Nova Lake desktop CPUs are shaping up to be a massive counter-punch to AMD. The lineup, expected in the second half of 2026, could feature up to 52 cores and a huge 288MB of cache. But pulling it off is the real challenge.
PI has introduced the F-713, an update to its 6-axis photonics alignment system. It maintains the hybrid mechanical design of the F-712 but features a more flexible controller built for future tech.
According to a new report, Apple is working on a revamped iMac Pro that could launch in 2026. This all-in-one desktop would reportedly pack high-end M5 Max silicon into a large-screen design, filling a gap in the pro desktop lineup.
A new microscopy technique makes the typically transparent 2D material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) visible. By resonantly driving a lattice vibration with infrared light, the material lights up, allowing for rapid imaging and crystal orientation mapping.
New code hints Apple’s upcoming HomePod mini 2 won’t get the company’s in-house N1 networking chip. Instead, it looks set to use a MediaTek “Sunrise” chip. This contradicts earlier rumors and suggests Apple is reserving its premium silicon for higher-end devices.
The explosive growth of AI is hitting a literal wall: physics. New AI server racks are so heavy and power-hungry they’re breaking the floors of older data centers, making simple retrofits impossible. This physical limitation is a core driver behind the massive, global data center construction frenzy
