Apple kept insisting. For quite some time, indeed, Cupertino plagued people with the message that the iPad Pro wasn't just a computer, but the only computer you need.

It may not be obvious, but you're almost certainly using AI every day. Artificial intelligence-boosting hardware in your phone enables voice recognition and spots your friends in photos. In the cloud, it delivers search results and weeds out spam email. Next up for dedicated AI hardware will be your laptop, Intel expects.

Microsoft president Brad Smith has predicted that artificial intelligence will transform society in the next three decades, just as the internal combustion engine did during the first half of the 20th century. Smith was speaking at the Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon, Portugal on Wednesday, where he discussed the intersection between tech and society.

Ever since 2016 with the Galaxy S7 duo and its Exynos 8890, Samsung has been using its in-house developed Mongoose CPU cores. It seems this will no longer be the case as Samsung is looking to shut its custom CPU department in Austin, Texas. The decision will result in the layover of around 300 employees and is expected to come in effect starting December 31.

Does quantum computing really exist? It’s fitting that for decades this field has been haunted by the fundamental uncertainty of whether it would, eventually, prove to be a wild goose chase. But Google has collapsed this nagging superposition with research not just demonstrating what’s called “quantum supremacy,” but more importantly showing that this also is only the very beginning of what quantum computers will eventually be capable of.

Need CPU power? AMD has you covered with new 24-core and 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors.

A paper from Google leaked last month claimed its researchers had achieved “quantum supremacy.” Now IBM says Google rigged the test.

No fanfare. No cleverly contrived quote for the history books. And yet, at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 1969, three months after Neil Armstrong’s famous step, came another giant leap for mankind. Just months after the first manned moon landing, the ARPANET, granddaddy to the World Wide Web, was brought to life with a rather inauspicious first communication: the letters “L” and “O.” UCLA grad student Charley Kline had been trying to type “LOGIN,”

When news leaked that Google scientists had achieved "quantum supremacy," researchers immediately clashed on its implications.

Google researchers today published their latest work on quantum computing in Nature, showing off how its new Sycamore processor can run a test computation in 200 seconds that would take the world's biggest supercomputers 10,000 years to complete.

Armed by the biggest patent troll of Microsoft, Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC not only threatens but also sues Free software that's part of standard GNU/Linux desktops

Brain-computer interface technology is moving fast and Silicon Valley is moving in. Will we all soon be typing with our minds?

The quantum realm isn’t the only way to get past binary computation. Our own brains are also a source of inspiration to overhaul the computational world.

Today, Unix powers iOS and Android—its legend begins with a gator and a trio of researchers.

Silicon has powered the information age, but it’s reaching its physical limits. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold a lot of promise as a replacement if we can get around some key obstacles—and the designers of a new chip seem to have done just that. For decades computer power steadily increased in line with Moore’s Law, which observed that the number of transistors in a chip doubled roughly every two years.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) have created an algorithm called Speech2Face which has been able to, simply based on listening to the sound of different human voices, create rough facsimiles of those human’s physical appearance. This research was presented on Arxiv, the electronic preprint database for scientific papers not yet sent for peer review, back in May and has already caused something of a stir.

For as long as there have been commercial computers, some hardware was designed for ultimate speed and data-crunching. Here are the numbers that show you how HPC makes a difference.

IBM continues to push its quantum computing efforts forward and today announced that it will soon make a 53-qubit quantum computer available to clients of its IBM Q Network. The new system, which is scheduled to go online in the middle of next month, will be the largest universal quantum computer available for external use yet.

On September 20, 1989, Apple product chief Jean-Louis Gassée stood on a stage in Universal City, California, and unveiled a new computer, the Macintosh Portable. It was Apple’s first battery-powered Mac, and the goal, Gassée declared, was to build a portable Mac that was every bit as powerful and usable as the familiar desktop models: “No subset of applications, no Mac Jr., no compromise.”

In a new scientific publication, Google claims to have reached “quantum supremacy” with a 53-qubit quantum computer, meaning that it has solved a problem that no classical computer can solve within a reasonable timeframe. It is the first time this has been achieved, marking a major milestone in the field of quantum computing.
