ChatGPT Voice has come to the desktop versions of Work and Codex, making it possible to start or interrupt tasks and coordinate multiple agents by voice. Permission settings and the separate accounting of voice time versus task execution will shape adoption decisions.
AMD layers Skills, a CLI, and Hyperloom's autonomous optimization on top of the ROCm Core SDK, connecting everything from environment setup to performance tuning through agents. The current implementation is a Tech Preview, with constraints remaining on supported GPUs and ROCm versions.
Reports suggest Intel could handle wafer manufacturing and advanced packaging for NVIDIA's next-generation AI platform Feynman. We examine what's confirmed in official materials versus what remains an unsettled contract scope.
Alphabet posted its first-ever free cash flow deficit ($5.855 billion) since going public, in the Q2 earnings reported on July 22, 2026. This piece breaks down how 69% of its $112.1 billion net income came from the after-tax impact of $99 billion in unrealized gains on stakes in SpaceX and an unnamed private company, and how $44.9 billion in capital expenditures outpaced the company's actual earning power.
Geekbench 7, released by Primate Labs, switches its baseline machine to an AMD system and introduces modern workloads that mimic actual gaming and AI processing. Because only some tests count toward the multi-core score, careful examination of each score is essential to gauge a chip's true performance.
Intel has committed fully to launching mass production of 14A in 2028. The 2028 timing itself isn't new—what's changed is the management decision to invest in PDK development and manufacturing capacity. External customer adoption and yield verification in 2027 are the next gates.
We examine the claim that Steam Deck OLED sales fell 82% after prices rose as much as 46%. Official weekly rankings moved to 10th, 16th, and 9th place, and confirming the actual scale of the sales decline remains elusive.
AMD and Cerebras plan to launch a division-of-labor AI inference platform in the second half of 2026, with Helios handling input processing and WSE handling token generation. The claimed up-to-5x figure comes from internal modeling comparing against WSE alone, and disclosure of measured latency and pricing will be the next thing to watch.
AMD has fleshed out the Instinct MI455X, equipped with 432GB of HBM4, and the Helios system with a 72-GPU configuration. After shipping begins in the second half of 2026, the question will be whether theoretical performance can be translated into real-world speed and operating costs.
Reuters reports that Intel and AMD are shifting to long-term contracts with Chinese server customers that lock in purchase volumes but not prices. Some server CPU prices in China have already risen more than 40% since the start of the year, and AMD has raised its 2030 TAM forecast from $60 billion to over $120 billion.
