Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan revealed in an official livestream that the company can supply only about 50% of the CPUs customers are requesting. While AI inference is pushing up CPU demand, three constraints—Intel's own fab capacity, memory, and semiconductor packaging substrates—are limiting supply.
A report claiming an 80% yield for Intel 18A used in Panther Lake is examined against official Intel and ASML materials, separating the unverified estimate from confirmed signs of high-volume production.
Fujitsu will begin selling its domestically developed Arm CPU, FUJITSU-MONAKA, along with three server lines built around it, starting in November. Drawing on primary sources, this article examines the shipping schedule from April 2027 onward, the differences between air-cooled and liquid-cooled configurations, the claimed performance figures and CXL capabilities, and the guarantees—and limits—of Arm CCA.
Hypertune, a new PC optimization tool built with official Intel backing and the XTU SDK, promises automatic tuning tailored to individual silicon. While it advertises gains of up to 60%, scrutiny is mounting over how much of that boost depends on the game being played, how much comes from simple in-game setting changes rather than hardware tuning, and whether its subscription pricing is justified.
Arm has unveiled CSS for Mobile 2, its next-generation smartphone compute platform. With a C2 CPU cluster featuring double the SME2 units and a GPU with a dedicated integrated AI accelerator, it aims to deliver both agentic AI and desktop-class graphics within a 1W power envelope.
Starting from reports of an approximately 10% October price hike on Intel's PC CPUs, this article traces the pattern of incremental price revisions and server-first supply allocation, examining the shift toward prioritizing gross margins and the conditions—such as 18A and 14A mass production—needed to resolve ongoing supply constraints.
AMD's Technical Information Portal product categories and a Linux HSMP patch shed light on Olympic Ridge and Medusa1/2 configurations across AM5 and FP10. Here's what's confirmed and what remains unannounced.
Qualcomm has previewed its next-generation Oryon CPU running at 5GHz, along with FlexCache, a new technology that dynamically shares cache capacity across different core types. The peak clock speed is about 5.5% higher than the current official maximum, leaving sustained performance and power consumption as key questions still to be verified.
Intel is scaling its upcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon processor to as many as 256 cores, rebuilding it around 16 core chiplets and two fabric hubs. Peak bandwidth reaches roughly 1.6TB/s, though real-world performance figures remain unpublished.
Arm's newly disclosed AGI CPU splits more than 100 billion transistors across two compute chiplets, fitting 136 cores into a 300W envelope. Here's a look at the design goals and what stands between $2 billion in demand and mass production.
