Intel said that the new standard would be backward compatible with all of the AVX-512 instruction set extensions, and that at some point, the new AVX10.2 would come along that would be supported on both P-core and E-cores for consumer CPUs, while bringing with it extra functions like

After months of musing by leakers and insiders, the rumor mill is convinced that the PlayStation 6 could end up coming in at half the price of the next-generation Xbox console—rumors that, if proven to be true, could mark Sony and Microsoft effectively trading places in the historic Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3 launch pricing battle.

Along with the new device, the release of the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X also comes with a new full-screen gaming experience based on the revamped Xbox app. The machine boots into this "experience," which is essentially the Xbox app. It's not a fundamentally different environment from the Windows 11 you're familiar with; all of the same applications

Most of you already know that the AI boom, for better or worse, puts a heavy strain on existing power grids. As companies race to build massive data centers to train the next generation of generative AI models, they’ve discovered that the local electricity supply often can't keep pace with the insatiable demand.

Apple is all about its iPhone 17 lineup these days (and iPhone Air), but if you're willing to jump back a couple of generations, you can score a still-capable iOS handset for a comparatively affordable price.

PC shipments across the globe grew a sizable 8.1% year-over-year in the third quarter of the 2025, driven in large part by a rash of upgrades ahead of Microsoft ending free support for Windows 10, according to Counterpoint Research.

In an industry rapidly accelerating toward an all-electric future, Porsche has just reminded us that the age of the internal combustion engine is far from over. How so?
