The global semiconductor business is becoming at once more diverse and more concentrated. This brings opportunities—and risks

The GPD P2 Max is a hyper-powered cross between a palm pilot and an ultrabook - it's a cyberdeck by any other name... The early 1990s were a great time to be a kid. There was the ever present threat of nuclear annihilation, we were constantly being reminded that Greed was Good, and it marked the advent of truly portable computing.

Prices for vintage PCs in need of repairs and hard-to-find parts have shot up on resale sites.

New supply chain reports claim a prototype "Apple Glass" is in phase two of production, following recent rumors of a 2021 release for the AR device. Backing up the report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that "Apple Glass" will be released in 2021, a new claim says it has passed a first stage of production.

University of Copenhagen researchers have advanced their quantum technology to such a degree that classical computing technology can no longer keep up. They have developed a chip that, with financial backing, could be scaled up and used to build the quantum simulator of the future. Their results are now published in Science Advances.

Baby names go in and out of style, but have you ever wondered why we prefer certain names over others? Believe it or not, the explanation may lie in part with the way the keys are arranged on our comp...

How fast is fast? Taking a trip with supercomputers from 1964 until today.

Micro Magic's new CPU offers decent performance with record-breaking efficiency.

One of the distinguishing features of machines is that they don’t need to sleep, unlike humans and any other creature with a central nervous system. Someday though, your toaster might need a nap from time to time, as may your car, fridge and anything else that is revolutionized with the advent of practical artificial intelligence technologies.

This week Qualcomm announced its flagship smartphone SoC for 2021, the "Snapdragon 888." The TL;DR is that Qualcomm's 2021 chip is a 5nm SoC with an ARM Cortex-X1 core and Qualcomm's first flagship SoC with an on-board 5G modem, dumping the mandatory two-chip 5G solution that Qualcomm forced on the industry earlier this year with the Snapdragon 865. Compared to the Snapdragon 865, Qualcomm is promising performance improvements of 25 percent from the CPU, 35 percent from the GPU, and 35 percent from the ISP.

Researchers have made a major breakthrough using artificial intelligence that could revolutionize the hunt for new medicines. The scientists have created A.I. software that uses a protein’s DNA sequence to predict its three-dimensional structure to within an atom’s width of accuracy.

Having risen to fame on its superhuman performance at playing games, the artificial intelligence group DeepMind has cracked a serious scientific problem that has stumped researchers for half a century. With its latest AI program, AlphaFold, the company and research laboratory showed it can predict how proteins fold into 3D shapes, a fiendishly complex process that is fundamental to understanding the biological machinery of life.

There’s been a fair amount of hype and skepticism following the MacBook virtual event earlier this month when Apple announced a new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini with its own M1 chip. The new chips and laptops begin Apple’s two-year transition away from Intel processors to in-house designed silicon that's based on ARM chips. But are these new Macs really better than Intel-powered ones?

Researchers pitted the biggest computer chip in the world against a supercomputer to simulate combustion—and the megachip won the race by a mile.

The Electron framework that lets web developers more easily develop cross-platform apps has now been updated to work on the new Apple Silicon M1 Macs. Developers of software such as Slack and Discord, who use Electron to create Mac version, can now update their apps to run on Apple Silicon. The latest release of the Electron frameworks includes a new version that has been optimized for the M1 processor.

Cerebras Systems has today confirmed that its CS-1 computing system has achieved a new performance milestone, delivering speeds far beyond what existing CPUs and GPUs are able to achieve. The CS-1, which is based on Cerebras’ WSE processor – the world’s largest computer chip, can now claim to be the “fastest AI computer in existence.”

APPLE HAS LONG been the lone wolf of the personal computer industry in maintaining its own operating system instead of licensing Microsoft’s Windows as rivals do. Tuesday it struck out further from the pack by launching its first laptops and desktops built on processors designed wholly in house.

Designed to power the next-gen always-on portables

Australian researchers have developed a technology which allows people with upper-limb paralysis to text, email and perform online tasks using their thoughts and eye movements.

Superconductivity could be the key to groundbreaking new technologies in energy, computing, and transportation, but so far it only occurs in materials chilled close to absolute zero. Now researchers have created the first ever room–temperature superconductor.
